Lots to say

Ok, I know that it has been a while. so here goes ,the trip to Iceland and England was even more wonderful than just the amazing countries because Jennifer and Scott were with us. It has taken some time to get back in the groove. I did not want to watch or read news, it was just so good to be removed from all of that. Slowly I am being sucked back in. My volunteer job is mostly interesting and rewarding. There was one day when the lady wanting the restraining order had willingly gone to his house, got in a fight and did not want to leave. Ya had to wonder about that one. Tho I am glad when the abuse is mild or questionable. Of course there is often a"he said,she said" thing going on. Anyway today should be interesting because I called both parties and informed them about the restraining order and both were irate and indicated they would be in court today. This is unusual. And then one woman got a restraining order against her husband who is in jail. No brainer.

Certainly I am very concerned about Carina, tho I feel she is going to be alright. Lots of love out there for you, Carina. Then my almost sister, Mary Ellen's 30 something daughter has AML (leukemia) the same kind that Jennifer's friend, Carol has. This is very worrisome. Mary Ellen and Tom have had to move to Emberly's house in Las Vegas to be at the hospital with her.She has been in the hospital almost a month.We still do not know when she can leave. And more sad news. my friend Cara's beautiful horse had to be put down.

Happy news is we are finally going to meet the newest member of the family. Yes tomorrow(Thursday) we will drive to Phoenix for two days. Oh and,no surprise, Anaya has been recommended to the gifted child program, after a week and a half in kindergarten. Have to take Shadow to the park so please family stay well, get well.
