Things have been really hectic around here, so I haven't really had much time to come on here.  The last week was a very sad one, with the passing of a sweet little boy, that was a son of an internet friend of mine.  We have been keeping the family in our prayers, ever since we found out the news of his accident.  We will continue to pray for his family and their close friends. 

We have all been sick around here, something we call "THE CRUD".  It is all from seasonal allergies, because basically, everything blooms around here in the spring.  Right now the culprit is a plant with little white flowers all over it.  A neighbor told me what it was, but I can't remember now.  I have it the worst right now.  Micky is a close second to me.  Mike and Mary have already had their worst times of it. 

I have Mary and Micky participating in some really fun homeschool activities in a nearby town.  They have really enjoyed them.  They are both signed-up now for a summer camp, courtesy of their aunt.  They are really looking forward to that.  Mary will also be participating in Band in the fall, playing the flute.  She is really excited.  I bought her the flute almost two years ago, but then we moved, and since I have pretty much forgotten how to play (it's only been about 23 years since I last played), I needed to enroll her in something where she could learn properly.  Micky will get to be in it next year, if his maturity level is where it needs to be.  I think by then he'll be ready. 

Well, that's all for now.  Hopefully I can come back sooner and put in another entry.  I still need to work on that one that I had all layed-out and then HSB just up and ate it.  I just haven't had that much time and energy to put it all back together again.
