Things That I Don't Miss About Being Home:
- The trains that go by the house every night, followed by the ruckus of the wild-life in the area
- The high price of gas

Finally, a picture from our Vegas trip:
on a side note: That is the shirt that I'm wearing today :)
What a nice surprise, for my birthday yet!!! A photo of you and Doug...took me a minute as I was admiring the purple glass in front of Doug, I thought that the green shape in front of you was your glass...I was relieved to find it was the back of the chair at the next table. See, things haven't changed, Grandma is hopeless.
It's going to take a little while for me to get the hang of all this, but wanted you to know how thrilled we are to hear all about your new life. I never dreamed you had so many words tucked inside of you! What a way to get
enlightened on babies bottoms, among other things. Do like the food? Doug seems to think it is acceptable.
Why didn't you go out with Doug and everybody? Just too tired to play? Or needing a little time to yourself?
Your Mother and Dad came in to visit on the 21st, which was my birthday, and your mother remembered on her own. They stayed for 2 hours, and brought a wonderful chocolate cake. We all enjoyed it very much.
Say Hi to Doug for me, I will try to talk to him to in a day or two. I was rather far behind at work when we returned from our 19 day vacation. Pooped, too!
Love you Tom, keep up the good work.
That was a picture at Harrah's, that was a good day.
NO more dial up......
Jade is well...but on my S#$! list at the moment.
Precious got a bath (during which she farted twice...even made a bubble). I wasn't very appreciative.
Make the most of the new things in your life there. Everything is fine and waiting on you when you get time back.
