it's showtime!!!

One more day before Andrea leaves for Isreal. She's getting a little nervous about the trip. I think she is afraid of doing something to screw up the trip. Not likely. She's with too many people, one of them can screw up.
I'm a little nervous myself. I haven't been by myself for an extended time in quite a while. I know I'm a big boy, and lord knows I have plenty to keep me busy, but I am still used to having Nonna around.

We have had a very enjoyable weekend. Lots of family and food. Rob and Doris were in town today. We had lunch at Carrie's and supper at Mom's, complete with homemade ice cream.

Robbie and Tracie took Keelin to town to get her "school stuff" today. Hard to believe that our girl is four years old now. Trust me, she will not let you forget she is four now. This is a quote, "I can make my own decisions now." And she will make one as soon as she takes the two fingers out of her mouth.

I love my family. We are a diverse bunch. Everyone exhibits some semblence of sense most of the time. Occasional sprints of excellence and good decisions thrill my heart. i am out of room. I didn't know you could run out of room. continued next page.
