Lonely is no fun!  I'm glad your family will be home soon Shawnie boy.  We loved seeing your neighborhood, so we can visualize what you're talking about.  Good luck with your garden!  I pulled weeds for about 3 days straight last week, and my body could sure tell it.  I guess I really am getting old, but I'm not giving up!  We will miss you at the reunion.  Thanks for finding the house for it.  Hopefully next time we can all be there.

I was feeling pretty homesick for my kids yesterday.  I had to go to town and pick up some groceries, so I stopped by Jeff and Kimi's for a minute.  They are busy redoing their downstairs bathroom etc.  As much as I miss you all, I wouldn't have it any other way.  I know you are all busy raising good families and doing good things in your life.  Clair's Mom had a  nice framed picture of her and Clair's Dad with their living children.  Under the picture was the scripture "I have no greater joy than to know my children walk in truth."  I must agree.

We are decorating graves tomorrow and having hamburgers and chips to honor Grandpa Craner.  We'll miss you. 

Love you all - Mom
