hey to the new chicagonians! glad to hear you made it safely and swiftley. have fun setting up house katie! I'll bet you'll be missed terribly in Utah, but what a fun adventure for you. I really hope you like the easterners, i know my brother has only had great things to say about the city.
If your not careful you'll have Anne beating a path to your door real quick! personally i don't think it's a good idea...but what do i know!
Gram and i had a really nice time together for the long weekend in Del Mar. It was nice to get away for a few days. Neither one of us (for gram its been longer) has been down there for a long time. The place really looked great minus a few spots on the carpet. Bob and Donna Hook go to great lengths to show their appreciation for their trips down, gram sure was suprised.
We went to Balboa Island on detour home for grams birthday. Can't remember when i was there last. We didn't stay long, had lunch at a chinese place mom likes and just window shopped a block or two. She drove me around to some of the different places we stayed at when we were kids, i only remember one of those trips. It's ALOT different now to say the least, but we did find the house and i sort of remembered as it still is today. Boy i sure wouldn't want to live there though, WAY to many people! Kinda reminded me of a busy ant farm! We always get a kick out of all the different people, some of the couples.....you wonder how they ever got matched up!! It was a fun time.
The kids are back to school and you reminded me Bub that i need my home teacher to come give Tom and Kel a blessing too, i had thought of it earlier and then it slipped my mind, not hard to do...thanks for the reminder.
I sent a note off to Laurel, hope she gets it. shes in my prayers.
Love you guys
Mar
