FAMILY

Donna - Yep! Donna is still in Battle Ground house-sitting for John & Lynda Idsinga. Talked with her yesterday and now I need to get a check in the mail to Sonny, the ‘Mole Man’. There was a mole running a-muck in the back yard, and Sonny promptly took care of it! We used him lots at Cribbage Flat in Battle Ground. Donna is spending lots of time with good friend Sandra Steigman, so I hear! Donna and Amanda attended a shower on Saturday for Josh & Megan, and Steve & Jamie. The shower was held at Kenny & Georgia’s, Josh & Jamie’s dad and step-mother’s home. GOSH! Haven’t talked to them in a long time! And I think Donna went to the County Fair, “Summer’s Best Party” yesterday, with Marc, Amanda, Ashley & Kyle! Today she is really busy, having Thai lunch with good friend Deb Clabaugh. Amanda – I mentioned they were headed to the Fair yesterday, and Mandy has been coaching Ashley on the family web site. She has posted news and photos, and has gotten lots of comments from family in Nebraska, Iowa and Arizona to keep it up. She also has her own digital camera and cell phone, and will now be able to help Donna with her new phone I imagine! I still need to hear what Kyle is up to. I’ve asked Mandy for photos of the kids for this site, maybe even with Nonna Donna. Wade – I spent about six hours with Wade, Michelle, Connor and their realtor on Saturday looking at new houses. They are getting anxious for a new house in a better location, and better schools for Connor. WOW! We looked at some nice homes. Check out Texas Living for a comparison on houses in SW Washington & N. Texas! Connor had a sleep-over with grandpa last night. We played catch with his football, we worked on his A-B-C’s, and we talked about his new bike needing to be fixed because it has a flat tire. This past week grandma Cindy took Connor & Wade to the circus while in town here in Dallas. Sounds like Connor was busy swiveling his little head constantly trying to see everything going on. Toby – chatted with Toby last night! Hard to get info outta that kid! I told him if he didn’t give me any info, I’d make something up! From now on I think I’ll talk to Jocelyn to find out what he’s been doing. He and Jocelyn have been busy with weddings – No, not their own, but we’re hoping! HINT! HINT! He has been working out of town, last week in the Spokane area, and this week in Roseburg, Oregon.
