Sandy, I'm so happy for you on the purchase of your new home!!! I haven't looked at the pictures yet but I will!!!

Gayle, I can sympathize with you about the remodel!!! I once redid my kitchen and it's hard to live without water and a sink in the kitchen!!!! Hopefully it won't be much longer and you'll have your beautiful new kitchen!!! I can't wait!!!

Judy, I hope that you'll find a solution to your printer problems. I've found that I google alot of problems on the internet and have found solutions to some of my problems.

I don't know where to begin on my weekend....on one hand it was such a good time.....on the other hand it was a fustrating time!!!!

We ended up getting there about dark.....we walked in and there was a small group eating at the island in the kitchen. I went in and started talking to them and it was obvious that they were fustrated with one girl standing there trying to eat her sandwich. It took me awhile but I realized that it was my brother's new girlfriend, Libby, and it was obvious that she had taken too much medicine (which I was told by accident because it was a new prescription). She was so zoned out that she couldn't hardly eat her sandwich or communicate with me. When my brother came in I told him that she needed to be taken care of so he and my Mom took her upstairs and put her to bed.

The next day we all did our thing but Delaine and Libby did everything alone (by their choice) also they had Delaine's daughter, Libby's daughter, and a little friend who they didn't keep an eye on.

The next evening she did it again!!! Libby went upstairs.....found the medicine that my brother had hid and took a bunch again. No one had believed that it was an accident that she had taken so much of it before. Delaine decided to take her home but she was so out of it that trying to get her downstairs and into the car was almost impossible. Glen finally went up and talked with her and finally got her in the car.

The sad part is that Libby's not the only one with a problem.....my brother is into meth but my Mom is totally convinced that he's not!!! Why would he have a girlfriend with such a problem if he was doing alright......and have her since Easter????? I said some things and Mom is not very happy with me......I saw her last night and she's still tryng to convince me that Delaine is not having any problems. Libby confided in Glen that in a couple of days of going home that Delaine would be making his meth!!!! If I told my Mom that she would totally not believe me. She wants to believe everything that my brother says and my brother wants to say what he knows my Mom wants to hear. AAAAggggggggghhhhhhhh!!!!!

However, in spite of all of this......I tried to totally ignore the drug problem and had a good time visiting with my aunts, uncles, and cousins!!! We swam twice a day and the lake was just wonderful!!! I did really, really good on my diet which was really hard when Margie made homemade apple cobbler!!!! It was almost a diet breaker!!!!!

Then when we left Glen and I headed for a little town near Kansas City (we stopped at a flea market on the way) where we spent the night with my cousin that has her basement fixed up like a little B & B. Glen really liked it and enjoyed seeing the work shops and all. Then next morning we got up and went and got some tires for some equipment....went to a couple more flea markets and then came home. Over all it was a nice relaxing weekend inspite of my brother's fiasco.

Our family doesn't feel like they have money for vacations so we're leaving tomorrow for my cousin's house for a couple of days and then we're going to Ocean's of Fun in Kansas City. It's a big water park. So I'll be gone again. We have 12 of us that are going so it will be a good time. We've been before but it's been a LONG time. I love the wave machine and lazy river!!!

So.....today I'm doing laundry and getting ready to leave again!!!! Glen's heading to Beaver Lake to get his scuba certification so he won't be going with us. He's excited to get that done!!!

Busy....busy......busy!!!!!
