May 17, 2010

Stone here this morning. Ryan will join him this PM. They are like a pond full of otters when they get together. They lough and run and play (and fight and take things from each other) and take baths and nap and eat and hug and cry when they have to go home.
It has been raining almost every day for over a week. Today is overcast but sun is trying to break through. This morning we got to go for a walk with Stone. When ever he gets outside, he has to find a stick(s) and shoot everything. After our walk Stone and Ellen drew chalk pictures on the walk in front of our apt. Now they are going to the store to get something for Stone.
Last Thursday we didn't get to work at the Food Bank because a storm the night before knocked out the electricity at the church building. Found out Sunday that the power had come back on around noon Thursday but no one told us at the time. Got a call from Foodbank Deacon's wife asking us to work Wednesday afternoon. Guess that makes up for last week. Guess will get double pay for this LOL
Ryan came over around three and stayed until about 10 while Nichole had Bunko at her house. Stone left about 5:30. We won't see him again until Monday. Doug and Shonn are going to Branson for a much needed rest and Shonn's parents ar keeping the boys next week. Nichole picked Ryan up around 10 and the silence seems strange.
Signed up for Sam's card today. Lots of oppertunity to get things in bulk for church related activities. Free internet thingy which allows you to see and talk to other Skypers on your computer. Also can talk around the world on regular phone but I can already do that.
Another short night. Sometimes I wake up in the night and can't go back to sleep. Usually watch TV, read or do crossword puzzles. Tonight it's blogging.
I'm trying to set it up where it will show up on Facebook when I post a blog. This will be the first try. Let me know if it works.
