Hi Barb, my son is 14 and my daughter is 16. I am almost done raising kids. Yeah I know you are always a parent but man these teenage years. I am lucky though, no drug use or criminal activity just not doing his homework and keeping his grades up.

Now my daughter, she is a honor student, graduating early, and wants to go to law school. Her problem is she has expensive taste. Thankfully she is working now ...Sue

Gaye sent me a picture of her new doll which she calls Donnie after my son. I think they look alike, don't you?

I see a resemblance too Billie. Your son is handsome. How old is he in that picture? ...Sue

I am not sure of his age, but I'd say 13. I have slept since then. He had a turned up nose, freckles, hazel eyes, and strawberry hair.

The resemblance is uncanny. What a cutie!

I told Billie I really do think that "little Donnie" looks just like her Donnie. Both are quite handsome and the doll is the one Billie gave me. I was floored and you can imagine how excited I got. a sweet cutie dressed in a frog suit!

Going to see BillieThursday and the ortho said he didn't see any damaadge to my neck, though he says that doesn't mean there is nothing wrong. Need to see a neuro. Alternative doc says have fun just take rollater (for dizziness) and don't fall. Whooooooppppeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Got my clothes laid out on the kitchen table and getting ready to go!

Have a great week yall! Froggie

I am so happy that you all will finally get to be together.
You will have to get some pictures together!

Camping was a lot of fun...
it was situated on a very wooded lot in the national forrest. There was a pad to set up your tent but we moved ours to a more comfortable spot...there was a fire pit and grill and picnic table. We were able to park the car about 200 feet from the site and walked all of the stuff in. WE brought our own water and there were only toilet pits a good bit of a walk from our site....but we were thankful for all of the amenites.... not too many bugs and only saw some poisin ivy a couple of times....the bayou had a sandy beach that the camp site was on was more like a river, a small series of rapides that the kids could float on tubes. I was so disappointed...as I did not bring a bathing suit or any other clothes to change in to...rats! It looked like so much fun!
We will just have to go there again...made jeff promise me that we would go again. Our hike today got rained out, a big storm just came out of no where...kind of thrilling actually.
last night we cooked out hambergers and had a big campfire. Made smores! Our friends had done this before...the next morning he actually cooked bacon and eggs and coffee! I want a little stove like his!
It would be an emergency stove if we had a storm and the electricity went out. We should have one for hurricane season.
I slept well on the matress pad and from my sleep meds, i was out like a light! The ride back went by fast, played card games with Abigail the 9 year old girl...
Ending up turning out just fine. Wonderful really.
