Wow, its been 3 weeks since I last posted. Have enjoyed many nice posts from Michael and Delynn who are vacationing for the next year and half in Germany/France/Switzerland, teaching at a school there.

I say vacationing for their week ends are filled with short trips here and there, and this last week was a really neat one to Augst, Switzerland. Some exciting photos accompany their blog, and I am very excited for them. Had hoped to join them next June but those plans are fading out due to the airlines having sold all their free seats for mileage plus customers already. Guess maybe I'll just have to spend real money and buy a full fare. Right now air fare to Frankfort from Portland is only 329.00. or maybe it was 239.00 which is GREAT.... only I'm not going right now.

Had a family day, Lou & Johns family and ours got together at a local church to just play games and bond. We already do a good job of that and when you mix in snacks and soft drinks it makes it all the better. Got to see Michael, Stephens new love. hmmmmmmm maybe she will be part of the family one of these days....

Have had great spring weather here the past couple weeks. Thats good, its getting me out and into the yard cleaning up the winters mess of seed pods, weeds and a few other things. Now if I can get rid of a black walnut log in my back yard, I can start to improve on it. Its been here too long now.

Won't bore you with lots of old news. New news is a blotched face, I have right now. Think its from taking too many prescription drugs, and I'm overloaded, anyway, have dropped all but 3 prescriptions and will see if they go away, and then see what I really need to survive to 120 years old. So, am signing off for the night, love you all who reads this.
