Louisiana's friend in Canada writes her a lettei in response to Louie's last one.

Dear Louie~
I had to laugh when I read of the antics of some of your kids! My oh my, but it sounds like you need a maid to help you--make that several maids! LOL I don't know how you manage to work full time and keep a grasp on your sanity after dealing with as many kids as you do every day! You must be SuperWoman or something!
I am sorry to hear that Ronee' was sick; hopefully by now she is recovered from her latest illness. That sounds terribly painful; no child should have to worry about pain! As for your son, Johnny, hopefully the medical tests are out of the way; I am sorry that he has to suffer, too. It doesn't seem fair that little children have to suffer so much in the way of illness or injury!
I am happy that your daughter is expecting again. Do you know what she is having? I bet you are having fun spoiling the grandchildren you have now; but from looking at your picture, I can't imagine you being a grandmother! You look too young, for one thing! I hope I age as well as you have! LOL You can't be a senior citizen; you don't look like you are out of your thirties yet!
Louie, that is so wonderful that you and your husband are celebrating your fifteenth wedding anniversary by taking a Mexican cruise! You are so lucky! And then later on this year, you are going on another cruise to Alaska! You must have money that I don't know about! *grins* (Can you float me a loan?? Maybe I can sneak along in your luggage; I won't take up much room. *grins*
I hope the weather didn't get ugly there. You were mentioning the possibility of severe weather the last time you wrote. Hopefully that didn't materialize. We get some nasty storms here, but they are few and far between; here we get more in the way of wild winter weather, and the weather can go from calm to wild in a matter of a few hours; there is no telling what the weather is going to do, as we live in the mountains! Very unpredictable is our weather! I hope the weather there is good now; here it is still winter: we had six inches of snow last night, and it looks more like December than the first part of spring! Crazy weather!
Well, I will go now; I have to feed "Roquefort", our Maine Coon who weighs over 20 pounds. He is winding himself around my legs, and he is meowing loudly. He won't let up until I care for him; if I don't feed him when he wants to eat he will bite my leg, which hurts! So before I end up with teeth marks in my leg (thanks in part to a "starving" Maine Coon!), I'd best go. Take care, Louie, and God bless!
(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Vancouver, B.C., Bitta Annike. :)
P.S.: Here's a picture of "Roquefort". He's a lump, isn't he?? Enjoy! :)

You are very lucky indeed to have two luxury cruises lined up to Mexico and Alaska, for your fifteenth wedding anniversary, you must be made of money !...lols
I wouldn't want to let that 20 pounder cat sink its fangs into me either...:)
Love and Blessings

The familiar lament of dual-career parents raising children is, "I just can't do it all." The Libra Solution provides an alternative - a more satisfying and sustainable work and life approach - to the overwrought modern day norm.
Let this coming of age story of a boy named Bean take you back to a simple time. Set in a small southern town in the 1960's, encircled by a river and gleaming white cotton fields.
