No more NEW things---well--MAYBE a new bathroom

I'm TOTALLY off new stuff! Why? You may well ask! I just worked a 8 hour shift and then buzzed home to clean Miss Eva. Now, I don't MIND washing a new car, it's just that the little Miss refuses to STAY new. Every time I wash her I find a NEW little mark of use. How can that be? She's just a baby!! I try so hard and yet try as I might that little lady just keeps getting OLDER! I'd swear off letting ANYONE ride in her if it weren't for the fact that MOST of the use marks are on the DRIVERS side. What to do? NO MORE NEW STUFF!!!! I mean AFTER my new bathroom of course!

Ok, here's what's up down in 'good ol' St. George [was George REALLY a Saint?] Mom's plumbing is now IN! We are waiting to see how it works BEFORE filling the hole and cementing it. Mom's got some SERIOUS health issues. She will be under Dr. Price's WATCHFUL eye for the forseeable future. They are looking at Kidney trouble. [She needs THAT like a hole in her head!] She remains Upbeat and sweet, beyond words, as always! What a gal!
The painting is NOT done. Saturday just would not come together. Between the weather and Dennis needing to get the wiring in, it just didn't happen. I've promised ANOTHER day to him. I hope to finish it on Thursday. [NOT using weds. THAT'S my PARTY day! can't WAIT!]

The anniversary of Thad's death has come and gone. This makes 12 years now. Kids, that man would be so proud of all of you, as am I!!! I love you Tons! Dinny and Mom remembered yet again. How very sweet they are. They gave us a HUGE basket filled with fruits and veggies. It don't get much sweeter than that.
Dennis celebrated a b-day today. I got him a HUGE cookie [private joke] and some ballons. I bought that kit at Wal-mart and filled them myself. What a 'big girl' I'm getting to be. Be proud! Later!!!

Great post. Yeah, when I got the Galant in 2002 (after the fiasco with the dealership in Orem) it had 141 miles on it. That was kinda cool, but the novelty fades.

Sorry that I didn't call you recently. Everything was crazy as usual. I was working on school stuff on Saturday night and I got more stuff due tomorrow night.

Please let us know how Grandma is doing.

I knew that the anniversary of Dad's death was a few days ago. I think of him often. Whenever Rachel and I are frustrated about something with the house, I usually say: "Man, I'll tell you what, if Dad was still alive, he would be up here every other weekend helping us because that's just the kind of guy he was..."

Love you Mom.
