Well we will see you at the airport.  No more disappearing acts for you!!!!  Hopefully there is only one lobby for Delta drop off because we aren't allowed to go back past the gates where you go once you've checked in and gone through security.
Holly found candy...Holly LOVES candy!
Love you lots!!! I'm so excited for you!!!  Keep your camera out and take lots of pictures!!!  (If you can)  Only about 3 hours till we see our cute little boy!!!

It was so good to talk to you and see you!  I thought about you all squished up on an airplane all night last night and hope you weren't too uncomfortable!  You are probably getting close to Hong Kong now...and still all squished!

We made it home through all the fog and got to sleep in our own beds last night and that felt good!  I hope you can catch some zzzz's.  You gotta take care of yourself so you don't get sick.  Jet lag is kinda nasty.  You'll probably feel lougy for about 1 week.  Try not to push yourself too hard even though I know you'll want to.

Love you lots. Mom.




Here comes the bus!

There he is...the tall handsome guy!

01/12/26 Just a couple of things going on

Every Monday night we do family night pizza. This has included Eldon and Diane for quite awhile now. They left on a round the world cruise and will be gone from January - May. So we sent them a pic of these two cuties and told them we missed them.  Found this fun scratch off -- you can mark everywhere you've been. We want to travel in our retirement and thought this would be a fun way to keep track of it. (We also have a world map but I think 1 on the wall is enough).  SO this is our little inspiration wall to remind us to get out and see the world! Holly painted this picture on her wall a couple of years ago. I added some words and music notes in vinyl to it. I'm working on turning her bedroom into my music sanctuary.  The WELCOME pineapple sign was starting to peel off. I took off all the vinyl and painted the words instead. Gave it a nice refresh! We signed up for classes at the college too -- currently we are taking World travel, AI (artificial intelligence), Aging an...

07/28/25 MRI interpretation

Andy had an MRI but to get a surgeon to interpret it was going to be a long wait...like 6 weeks. Andy has a friend who works in radiology. He had Andy over to his office and explained what was going on with Andy's back. He said the two places where Andy had previous surgeries were showing problems just above the surgery (apparently common but nobody told Andy that originally).  He had a third spot that was also degenerating. So lower, mid and upper spine all have issues.  We are trying the spinal decompression route currently in hopes of avoiding surgery.  These spinal issues are probably the reason for many of Andy's other ailments.   

03/28/26 Trip to Italy, Day 5, Saturday, Florence

We stopped at a local restaurant and got some breakfast tarts and then went to the Academia and saw the statue of David and had a tour. We returned to the same Restaurant and had panini sandwiches for lunch. Then we went to the Uffizi Museum for another tour. We had yummy gelato and took a rest for a while.  We walked through the leather market and to a cool bridge. We walked around the city awhile into we came to a restaurant that was super cute and we ate outside. We had ravioli and pizza. We walked a bit more after dinner and then came back and played games.
