October 9, 2009

Dear Jeremiah,

Yeah, it’s Friday. I’m tired. Lol. Some little boys keeps waking me up at night. Mike sent me a text message this morning saying that he was in Idaho. He was supposed to by up and driving at 4:30am. I guess they ended up staying in North Bend, which is the last town before going over Snoqualmie Pass, outside of Seattle. If he was in Idaho then he would have been going over the Rockies. G&G are going to Shirley’s today to visit for the day. They got your letter Wednesday and were very happy to hear from you. I got 2 letters from you yesterday, but it sounds like I won’t get another till Wednesday since your out in the field. After I picked up the boys from Daycare, I took them to Walmart to get some socks for Bear and another can of formula for BooBoo. Then we stopped at McDonald’s for a make your kids Happy Meal. By the time we got home it was 7pm so I gave the boys a bath and put them to bed. Then I watched Shenandoah with Jimmy Stewart until the wedding scene where his daughter gets married. I stopped there because I don’t like to watch the part where his youngest son gets taken captive by the union army. I think that I fell asleep by 11pm. I’m working in A107 today, not too much to do in here, a couple of closet track, a bath mirror and some other small items. Mike just texted me and said he was in Superior Montana to stop for chow. Swift gave him a $100 advance so he can feed himself on the road. I do think that is good to save as much money as you can. So this plan is a good idea. Since you don’t have a lot of expenses right now, then 30% is good. I was going to put it in to CD’s or something high interest savings anyways. Just forget that its there and let it grow. Good for you. The others that do less my have bills to pay or families to support. You got it made not having any of those concerns. Mike just send me another text saying he’s stopped for the night in a place called Rocker Montana. I think he may be in the middle of Montana some where. He drove for 10.25 hours and went 549.3 miles. I finished up in A107 and moved on to H104 and completed that too. Not much in there to do just a bath mirror and misc stuff. That was the 5th mirror for me this week. I broke one. Sometimes they have lines of flue on the back, so the only way to get them off is to break them. Well its time to get stuff done for the day. I got some key packets to make. Maybe I will hear from you this Sunday, maybe. I love you and miss you everyday.

Love Mom.
