Hey,

That's great that your getting more money to save. The more you can save the more you have to work with later. I'm glad you got your boxes, I think I sent them about 4 or 5 days before Lynda said she sent the books. I'm glad you liked what's in them, did you get the cash okay? How did you like the little foot ball? I was walking into Safeway to get your bubble gum and saw it and it reminded me of the ones you and Mike used to throw around at the apartment. You two could really make that thing go far.

Speaking of Mike, he and Ann are in town today and leaving again tomorrow. They had the boys with them all day and invited me to go bowling with them after work. So I picked them up and we headed over to Tiger Bowl. Your not going to believe this, the place was closed. Closed as in out of business. I'm saddened, a part of this little towns history is gone. Remember how that apartment complex next to it was all closed up? I think they are all going to be torn down. That's a pretty large area.

I had a guy to is based at Ft Lewis call me today about getting one of Gretchen's puppies, he was really certain that he wanted her only cream puppy. So he send a deposit a few hours later. The interesting thing is that I had a family come look at him a couple weeks ago that was from Ft Lewis also, the ones I told you that they decided they weren't ready yet for a dog? Would be funny if they ever met each other in the future. I had another lady send me a lengthy email about her family and how she wants one of Emma's cream girls. Her adopted daughter has a disorder that super sensitizes every touch she feels, she is 6 and at an age when she is starting to realize that she is a little different than other kids. She loves dogs and has some mild allergies to cats. That first puppy of Gretchen's that got sold so fast is going to Louisiana to a home where a 5 year old girl has allergies and also suffers from Crone's disease. It's kind of nice knowing that these puppies are going to belong to kids that need them and will benefit from their great temperaments. One of Sadie's girls from her last litter is going to train to be a service dog for an older widow lady that found us thru the Portland VA Hospital. I gave her a huge discount on the puppy because of her wanting her for service dog.

You know it's been almost 9 years since the trade towers went down, do you think they will ever get around to rebuilding on the site? That's prime land there. There's some big hub bug going on about building a mosque near the site.

Well I better get to sleep, I hope everything is going ok for you and that LT and you work shit out. I bet he has alot of stuff going on and has all of you guys to worry about keeping safe. I love you and miss you all the time. Take care of my Fav. Mom XOXOXOX
