At the end of the day yesterday I was at 25,321 ( think)  I am trying to get this out before, during and after I get packed.  I have my head in so many places.  Just dropped off the pup to be groomed.  Foxelle our border collie mix is really a full grown dog...but now with the kids gone...well she is the baby:-)  She a good gril and so smart.

Well today started with a bang.  Two years ago I began planning my 40th high school reunion.  It was this past Sept that it finally came to frution.  Can't believe it is 40 years already.  Anyway everything was perfect and we had a two day event.  But the photographer...well he was an added perk and to make a story short...we had extra money that we were able to use towards surprising the class with a CD and 5x7.  The 5x7 not nearly enough for our 100 plus classmates that showed.  Anyway the photograpgher cut people ouit of the picture.  Was it lousy? Yes...but there are other pictures on the disc.  My point?  People who were never intending on buying the pictures in the first place are the biggest complainers.  However I see this as a gift from the class to each of the class...we should be grateful...still some love to complain.  So that is how my day started.

Now I need to regroup and think about getting some words down and thinking about the wonderful time I will have with my children, and grandchildren for the next week.

OK so now Ty has lost her husband and two children in a bad accident in a snow storm.  We have heard that she is doing better and have gotten to know the birthday girl alittle better.  We have seen the journey that her great great grandparents took to the middle east to pan gold and we see a mindset of altruism...however all that we see in the ancestry is not so.

i will begin to write until I pick up Foxelle.  Hope to hit at least 26,660.
