Talked to Joanne and she said she wanted to see a few more views of around Sabula....so here goes..She sounded good as Jenny and her gals were home, Kara celebrated Ethan's 8th birthday, the family got together and hung with Jo and Bob...She is more doubtful that she can come up this week, but we are very excited to see Tom and Jan and Mary and Ed. Mary is stopping in to see Phil and his family on Thur eve, Jan is inviting us to her relatives on Fri eve and then Sat and Sun we chicagogang will hang out and go to Mary Jo and Pat's on Sat and Sun. I am hoping to show the group some of the Arboretum....we shall see. Mike and Nancy are in their battle and we keep them in our prayers of course. Brett as you all know is OUT of Afghanistan and now in Italy and his tours of duty end and he plans to be out of the Army by March...We get to see him in Dec though and that will be cool. Kevin and Christian....where are you??? Julie comes in to stay at my home this weekend as well and very excited to have her here of course. She may stay over Monday and go downtown with Tom and Jan...Love for now
