exciting posts

Wednesday, May 30th, 2007

When I got on the PC today I had some exciting posts. One of the gals who
has written songs and had me in mind for one of them - and is going to sing
at the BASH, wrote me and sent another one of her poems.
AND I heard from Nicole Johnson, Miss America 1999 that she is sending an
autographed pic of herself that I can display at the BASH. She’s so sorry
Joslin won’t let her come since it’s not a fundraiser for JDF.
‘^( However, if she did and word got out, we wouldn’t be able to provide
enough horses’ doovers for everyone.
w.O.w.

graphs/beads

Tuesday, May 29th, 2007

I have finished graphs I can show you of other things, but I can’t do
anything more than save these right now since my puter isn’t talking to
hubbys computer until school is over. His puter has the Photoshop on it,
When I work graphs, I’m sending stuff back and forth to get things tweaked
just right. It can be a long process, but well worth the time. If I can
afford the beads, I’m doing a bag with a portrait of the Porter girl that
was abducted and murdered here in Minnesota. I want to enter it in the fair
this year.

Hello Gang,
I am trying to get back to the land of the living again…….my house looks
like a cyclone went through it. Not once but a few times! But it was well
worth it. We had such a good time. We spent so much time at the beach or the
pool and all the kids had a ball. We took the kids ice-skating,
rollor-balding, go-cart racing, to the zoo and to a batting range that also
has video games and pinball. Having 8 kids underfoot was a challenge to our
patience but it all went very well. Barbara and I got to spend so much time
talking and laughing. When I stay with her in NY I don’t get to spend much
time with her. I spend most of my time with my family and get back late at
night to Barbara’s.
I was glad to read that Gail is off to visit her family. Good news about
Wendy also. I am sure Merredy is happy her mom is home. The picture of
Merredy is beautiful. She surely has grown since her last pictures.
Becki’s daughter’s are gorgeous! Marius is right…keep them locked up!

Spud asked me to send Glory this photo of him, see the love look
in his eyes?

my family

Hi Gang, I hope that this works I have been trying to do this since we
got our Christmas pictures back. This is my family…my wonderful
husband of 30 years Craig, our daughters Joni (blonde) and Mari
(brunette). The odd one there is me. I do not smile too well. I hope
that this comes through. Hugs Becki

going to FL

Becki,
MY reason for not taking advantage of the sun down there is I can’t take
advantage of the sun up here. I simply feel like I will die when the sun is
on me. We have our van windows extra coated and I’m pretty sure I’ll have to
add the same green vinyl that I’ve used for about 27 years to keep it off me
this summer. We haven’t had this vehicle a year yet. Since early ’70s I’ve
carried a child’s umbrella for shade. I can only be outside to do *stuff* in
the evening which gives me about 2 hours when the sun isn’t intense or
bright. I’ve talked to other T-1s that the sun bothers also. We were in
Florida in August of ‘65. Sorry, I wasn’t impressed at all. I also hurt when
I’m cold. Just can’t make me happy. I feel so restricted in anything I can
do. Hope we can get the van’s a/c fixed through our service contract ’cause
I can’t breathe when I’m hot.
Jan
