| | Hi Everybody!
I hope all is well with you and yours. I've been busy working, and I really miss spending time on here. Clif and I are email support at pbwiki.com - that's a wiki website for users to collaborate on. Wiki means fast. So this type of website is easy to setup and for many people to edit. There's thousands of users now, and hundreds of teachers and even more students. You can make and maintain a FREE or premium wiki-website if you want to check it out. It's really neat... that's where we've been spending most of our free time for the past year. : All the educational wikis are ad-free!
Clif's son, Eric joined the U.S. Marine's, and he's currently in Iraq for his second tour. Before he left this time, he married a bright, cute, darling girl, named Patty. So, now we have a daughter-in-law in California. She's coming for a visit next week, so I've got some more things to do, and we're planning to go camping with the kids up to the dunes in Michigan. I'm not sure where that is yet. Crystal and Jim's been there a few times and they love it.
Today is my birthday (it's after midnight ) and right before Clif gets into bed, he tells me that he has a card and gift for me... then he hops into bed! What?! Well, of course I'm all over him about this, and just tease him until his big ol' smile starts to fade. It would probably take hours to find it anyway... so here I am.
I spent some time up at my Dad's helping out. I stayed a few days and drove my niece and nephew to work and back while 'the folks' went to visit some smaller grandkids in NYC. Man, when they got back I apologized for being a teenager... but then I retracted and just apologized for acting like I did when I was a teen. it wasn't pretty back then... and I'm really analyzing it again lately. I don't like to think about the bad things in my past unless I can learn from it... and spending a few days with someone else's 'ripe' teens can open ones eyes! It's sorta funny though, because not everyone acts the same way when other people are around. Which reminds me. I told Trace that we'd take her boys camping soon. She's probably ready for a (teen) break... lol We really haven't had any trouble with their boys, and we've stayed with them or they've stayed with us a few days here and there. Most of our 28 nieces and nephews have never given us any serious trouble.
Our family has been growing. We've added two grand-nephews this last year. Xavier will be a year old in July, and Hunter is a few months behind him. X is in California. Which I drove Jessica and X out to the military base back in February, so she would be with her hubby that she hadn't seen since the week of their wedding, last Christmas. Our trip took 5 days because of having to drive farther south to avoid the ice and snow storms that sprang up during our travel. We got into San Diego late Friday night, and I stayed a few days to help her setup house. The following Weds., Clif flew in and came to pick me up, for Eric and Patty's Wedding that Saturday, Feb., 10th, 2007. : Grand-babies will be coming along soon!
When we attempted to fly back to Columbus, Ohio we were delayed a day from a major ice storm. We were rerouted to Phoenix, AZ, for a night and met Tom of TeMerc Internet Countermeasures the next morning. We just couldn't pass up a chance to finally meet this terrific guy after talking to him online for so long. Tom runs a long time forum for computer help. If anyone has computer issues that may be infestation related, that's the place to visit. Otherwise, the Computer Help Club at MSN is really great for other issues : http://groups.msn.com/ComputerHelpClub
We landed at 10:30pm and when we finally retrieved our departed luggage and got to our ice covered car it took at least 15 minutes of chipping the ice off of the windows before we could leave. My plastic coffee mug lasted maybe 5 minutes before the bitter cold (and my tapping) made the bottom of the cup shatter. Clif used the ice scraper. Just before my mug busted he had told me to get into the car and warm up... LOL! (Why don't we listen to these simple things?!) Normally, Columbus is 80-90 minutes from home. The roads weren't completely cleared off so we got home about 2am. Clif got up at 7 and went to work! Me? I slept until noon. I wouldn't trade my water bed for anything! *big-grins*
Well, I guess I caught you up a little bit, but I just saw the time and so I should really go jump into bed. TTYS! ~ Bec
