I see a lot of names that I remember and of course a lot of new names.
How r you all?  I've been without internet access for a while and am
now wireless.  Yahoo...oh wait...that's supposed to be YeeHaw!!!  My
baby boy is almost 16 and the only one left at home.  We've been doing
a lot of traveling around the state of Washington to find
skateparks...lol  Weve even been to a bunch in Oregon and California.
So far our favorites are Hood River and Newberg, Oregon.

My health is not too bad.  I still get real tired and my joints ache a
lot but it's manageable for the time being.  I go and dance once or
twice a week and that really helps.  Sometimes I have to take a pain
pill to get through the night but other than that I do pretty good.
We've added a dog to the mixture of kids running through the house.
What a fun thing that is.  We haven't had a "real" dog for years.  This
one loves being here.  His last owner said he can't be let outside
without a leash cause he runs away.  Hah...she was talking about
another dog cause this one never leaves the yard.  I mowed and weed
eated the other day for a couple of hours and he never left.  She said
he's not agressive and won't bit.  Wrong again, my older son came into
the house not realizing we had a dog.  Dog almost took him out.  So the
dog's name is Stray.  He's not a stray anymore.  He's part of the
family and it makes me feel good that he does have that protective
streak in him.  People actually think twice before they just walk on
in....lol

enough for now...I'll try to get caught up on some of your news the
next few days.  I'm off to work.  I work three days a week as a
waitress.  What a job....I know that I don't want to be a waitress when
I grow up.
