This is such unbelievably happy news!

After 5 months of jumping thru governmental hoops and wading thru mounds of red tape my daughter Allison has finally received permission to marry her Irishman!

Can I get a hallelujah!  Or maybe a double w00t! Or possibly both!

Please take 5 minutes of your week and drop by here. 

I’m not actually hiding, just dealing with the aftermath and laying low.  I guess I’m in a contemplative spirit, thanks for your emails and your concern, it touches me that you care enough to take a minute and drop me a line.  I have been lurking around and trying to keep up to date on my reading list.  Some of you have really made me laugh and that is a wonderful thing. 

Thanks again.

These two kids are SO very awesome!  Brian and Allie donated to The Heifer Project in our name.  This makes me very HAPPY!  Somewhere in the world is a flock of hope giving a family a whole new chance of prosperity.  The best part…. the family has agreed to give the first eggs to another family and teach them what Heifer taught them. So this is a gift that truly makes a difference and keeps on giving.   Instead of another doodad that I won’t dust, someone in the world that isn’t as fortunate as we are will receive something truly worthwhile.   Thanks Allie, you make us proud to be your parents! And thank you Brian we are proud to have you in our family.
