As part of the contingent that was left behind in Minnesota -- I'm glad you made it to sun country safely. I do want a report as to how wet Shamu gets Dad at Sea World. He seems to attract the BIG splash!
Just a note from small-town Minnesota during these trying times....
A friend of mine from work, Lois, has a son who is on the front lines in Iraq, ready and waiting for the signal to attack. I met him when he was home for Christmas. He's a wonderful, bright and compassionate young man. It makes this pending war a little more personal. Lois has requested all the neighboring towns to put out their flags. They are flying high today. Tomorrow KEYC T.V. will be coming to LeSueur to interview her in the pedestrian park downtown. We will have our own little "support our troops" rally. In the days ahead, she will need all the support and prayers we can muster.
At the risk of sounding sappy, I hope we can all put our political views aside and let those men and women know that we appreciate the sacrifices they are making. The head of our Brood fought for our country 60 years ago and thankfully came home safely. Guess we wouldn't be here if he hadn't:)
Sorry for the serious note to this posting, but as the oldest, it might be my duty.
Say a little prayer for Bob Hutton tonight.
And San Diego kids --- have a ball!
We're definitely having fun. Why is it that I keep hearing from Grandpa - Your mom told me to keep you in line! I told him no such think would happen.
