     Louisiana, home early from work due to coming down with a touch of the flu, writes to her new young friend in California.
Wednesday, November 17, 2004, 1:19 p.m., C.S.T.~

Dear Rebekkah~

Hello! This is your friend, Louisiana, mother to Johnny and Ronee' (plus forty eight others! LOL)! Thank you for writing; it is so good to hear from you!

But alas~! Today you catch me at a bad time because I am sick. I think I am coming down with the flu: my head is stuffed and achy, my body feels like the Dallas Cowboys had a round with me, my nose is running like a faucet, and I am sneezing every few minutes, it seems, and I am hot one minute, cold the next. I really feel horrible! I just got home from work, and I feel nasty!

I am glad you enjoy writing to my kids Johnathon and Ronessa. They really enjoy writing to you; and it seems that you three have a series of letters going! It seems that someone is always at the computer (and it is usually Johnny or Ronee'...LOL)! But since THEY are at school, and I am HOME sick, I guess it is finally MY turn to use the computer! They are really good kids; and I just can't imagine my life without them (ANY of the kids, really!)! Johnny and Ronee' have been through so much with their health, and it's a wonder that they have survived some of the things that they did. But God is working in their lives; and big things are bound to happen with the two of them! God has big things in store for them, and it is exciting to think about!

We would love to come to California in the summer next year; but I don't know if we can. See, in the spring, Bill and myself are going to Greece; some friends of ours are getting married, and this is where they will make their home. My friend Sari Annike Gustaffssenn is from Finland, and she met a guy while they were working at the Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece, a few months back; and they have since fallen in love with one another and have since gotten engaged! I have met Nikolas Constantinos before, and he is a dear, sweet man! Very cute and sexy, too, and he and Sari just aDORE each other! We don't know if we will have the money to come to California in the summer after going to Greece; but you may never know...I would love to come out there and see Kendra again and meet Louisa and maybe you guys!

Did you know that Kendra is coming next week here? She is coming to Tennessee for Thanksgiving, and she is bringing her daughters! She is in the process of adding yet another girl to her family, this time a little girl from Japan, and if all goes well, they may have her before Christmas, which would be wonderful! We are really looking forward to seeing the Williams family again, and we are also having company from Alaska, Texas, Colorado, AND Louisiana! So we will most definitely have a "FULL HOUSE" when it comes to Thanksgiving! (We are going out that day; we are eating at the Golden Corral; they will be open on Thanksgiving Day, and we will have brunch there before we go back and watch the Dallas Cowboys football game and let our turkey-filled bellies flop around! LOL)

Well, Dear Heart, I am sorry, but I feel simply AWFUL, so I am going to lie down and try to get some rest before the zoo comes home from school and before they wake me. I will write more when I am feeling better, hopefully in a few days. (I hope this is gone before Thanksgiving; I do NOT want to be sick for Thanksgiving, especially with all the company coming! That would NOT be at ALL good!!) Until then, take care, and God bless you! Say a prayer of Healing for me; I really could use it! Thanks!

(((Long Distance Hugs))) (So you don't catch my flu!) and much love, your (Sickie) friend in Tennessee, Louisiana Mayrah (Johnny and Ronee' 's maman!). :( *achOOOOOOOOOOOO! SNIF*
