Well I'm in NE and it is 4:30 in the morning. Maxwell woke up. Yesterday was my sisters 40th birthday party. I had a good time. Actually I had a great time. I spent the whole time chatting with my Aunt Mim's boyfriend. He is 72, so is she. They had never met my children and they met Jacob first. They were so impressed with how polite he was, so Jack, her boyfriend, immediately wanted to meet Maxwell. Then he came over and wanted to chat with me. We talked about Homeschooling. You see, he taught for 28 years and he loves qualified HSers. I'm not sure what qualified means but I think he thinks I am. I love God and my husband, so there, in obedience and submission, I'm qualified. He told me about a young man, who was a student of his. This student was an older student for 7th grade. He was disciplining this boy and he pulled a knife on Jack. Jack talked him down and convinced him to trust him. He started working with him but the young man was killed by the police three weeks later, when he was robbing a store. (It was a record store, so it had to have been the 70's or 80's) I talked with people other than Jack but it was so refreshing to be around my family and have a pro HSer around. When he left, he just kept saying what a wonderful time he had with me. I love older people, they are the gems of our society.
Oh I'm in a bit of pain. You see, I was sitting on a tall stoolwith a back, at my sister Heidi's house. All of a sudden, the stool broke and I crashed bum first on the broken stool and then the ground. (the stools were breaking). My mom was very worried so to lighten the fears, I looked up and said "man, I really need to lose weight". She laughed and called me a "jerk". As time moved on the pain got more intense. I'm sure our Lord will sustain me but I'm slightly worried about the 26 hour ride home.
Oh the boys have been really good cousins to my nephew Christopher. They have been running with him, swinging him, and pratty much just entertaining him. The other night he ran up to my mom and hugged her and said "Mimi, I love them" He's so cute. I held my new neice, Katlyn, last night for over an hour. Oh she's beautiful.
God bless you all.
Oh Mel, I'll fill you in on the Charlie Brown thing this week when I'm not tuckered out. Does anyone else know why I'm Lucy and Steve is Chuck?

Awh!! I'm so glad your enjoying yourself sweetheart. Of course they love your boys. The essences of proper training.The beauty of it is Heather , Remember what the Lord said? "To train them up in the way they should go, and when their old they will not depart from it" I think I quoted that right. When you lose a day in the week completely, I'm not sure of any thing.Randy just called and said they would be home in about 5 hours. I said "Really! today's only Sat." Well I woke up, but I couldn't believe it was Sun. "Oh! The joys of old age!"
Sounds like the old gentleman you were talking too. Had it pretty well togeather.But after all , I am his senior!!!!! 
Tell Steve and the boys Hi!
love you all honey! Have a safe trip home. l/u
I'd guess about the Lucy/Charlie Brown thing but I have no idea how my guesses would go over. So I'll just look forward to when you get around to explaining it. Glad your visit is going so well. Hope you're not hurting too much for your drive.
Wow, I can't believe you fell of that stool. I'm sorry to hear this and I hope you aren't in too much pain on that loooong drive. I can't wait to hear the Lucy/CB story.
Glad to hear that Jack gave you some enjoyment during your visit, and that you gave him a good witness.
I know, but I won't spoil it for Mel. Hope you are recuperating and getting back into the swing of things. We sure enjoyed visiting with you!
