Kaity wants to give everyone a big kiss for all the support and prayers that everyone is giving her Daddy. No she is not intoxicated, She is just tired and ready for beddy bye. She spent a lot of time outside enjoying the beautiful day with her Mommy and Daddy today. She helped her Mommy to pick out flowers to plant in the yard. This is something we do every year around Mothers Day. We also went to Grandma Booma's Today and mowed most of her yard until the down pour and did some other minor work in the yard. Days like today bring the green thumb out of me.

Earlier In the day I went to Avery and visited with some of my co- workers. Hey, Akiya PURR PURR.( You had to be there) It was really nice to talk with Dan B. and Akiya. Getting the low down on the happenings at work. It's really nice to see everyone and all the concerns and well wishes everyone shows me when I am there is really touching and I appreciate it. I hope to be back as soon as I am able. The CT Scan that I'm having on the 12Th may weigh in when that may be.

I want to tell everyone a little story about the time when Sally and I were dating. This was when I was working at a dairy products plant in Chicago, I was working midnights. On one particular night I was going to work. I got in my car and there was a cup of freshly brewed coffee from Borders books. I knew right away that my future wife placed it in there for me. She was always doing things for me like that. It was a night that was raining outside a little bit, so I turned on my wipers and there was a twig stuck to my wiper blade. I thought "oh man" and figured I would just leave it since it wasn't obstructing my view. I thought it would just fall off eventually. I called Sally to thank her for the coffee. We were talking for awhile and she said isn't there anything else you want to tell me, I said 'no'. She's like what about the rose. I said 'OH HELLLL NO!( I actually said this to myself) I really said " Oh yes, the rose thank you very much I love you". By the time I got to work it was a twig. I did tell her eventually,about three months later.

I want to thank everyone for the support and the prayers. Myself and my family really appreciate the outpouring of support. God bless you all.
