Dear Bart~
Hello there! Thank you so much for your letter; it was so nice to hear from you again, and that picture you put on your letter was just sensational! I loved the animated meteors! Thank you for writing; your letter made my day, and I am just getting around to answering it now. Sorry about that...
I have been busy this past week: if it isn't working, taking care of my hubby or my kids, running to and from the hospital to see Johnny and Ronee' (Johnny is since back home, but Ronee' will be in several more days, according to her doctors; still, she is doing very well), writing emails, and whatnot, I don't have very much free time to myself! LOL I hope this finds you well; I am fine, but just super busy, is all! LOL
We got some good news on the adoption front: we are adding another child (a girl) to our family, a little girl from Romania! Her name is Janica Kryzstina, and she is eight years old, and she is so pretty! She has short, dark brown hair, freckles on her face, and green eyes, and she has spina bifida that requires her to use crutches and braces for walking! We just found out today that little Janica may be joining our family much sooner than we had anticipated, and so we are very excited, as you can imagine! And my friend in Soulsbysville, California, Kendra Williams, is adding another child to her growing family as well: another girl, this time from Sri Lanka; and her name will be America Hope! And Louisa Mason's pregnancy is progressing nicely; so there are plenty of growing families around!
Yes, I was aware of the meteor shower; and yes, I did see some meteors...that was neat! A daytime meteor shower..hmmm..yes, we do look at the night sky whenever it is clear outside...we see so much going on, and we really enjoy the togetherness with the kids and my hubby! It is a lovely way to spend a warm, late spring evening! We see the planets, the different stars and consellations, and if we are lucky, a meteor, a comet, or an auroral display! We have always enjoyed looking at the Wonder that is God's Creation, and we are always in awe of His Handiworks!
How are your boys doing? You will have to send me a picture of them! I bet they are all handsome! I will be sending you a picture of the kids soon; so be on the lookout for it!
How are the jobs going? I am sorry you have to work so hard to provide for your boys...that must be so hard to be a single parent, let alone, a widower! I lost one of my friends, too, just about a week ago...my friend in Texas, Diane Aguilar, died of brain cancer; she left behind a husband and six young children, all of them disabled, and poor Hildago, as you can probably surmise, is absolutely shattered. Please keep him in your prayers, he can really use them about now! I know you must still miss your Annie...I still miss my babies, my sister, my brother-in-law, my three young nieces, and especially my mother...they will always be missed! So I know death very well myself, unfortunately...it is never easy!
The weather here is partly cloudy, and warm, temps in the 80's. It sounds delightful up there in Ohio! I would love to go back to Ohio soon; maybe sometime later this summer we can go up to Cedar Point again....we have been there, several times, and we really love that place! We would also love to see the Columbus Zoo; hear it is one of the best zoos in the country! We would also love to go to Geauga Lake, Six Flags Ohio, or some of the other attractions up that way! We love Ohio; Ohio is so pretty, and the people are so friendly there!
Does Mansfield have any attractions? If so, maybe we can stop there, and maybe we can surprise y'all with a visit! Would you like that? Please let us know! We would love to meet you, Bart!
Well, Bart, I must go now...I am going back to the hospital to see Ronee', and then we are going out to eat at Outback Steakhouse. We will be home later on; give us a call sometime! You have my number now...God bless you always, and do write again soon!
(((HUGS))) and much love, your Tennessee friend, Louie May. :D
