cleaned the house today - dusted - mopped - wiped down cupboards and counters...it is very VERY windy and there is sand everywhere ....

tomorrow mary n george and smiley n john will be here

talked to marc today - in a week they leave on their cross country trip. he is bored at work. the last week before you finish school or a job or get ready for a vacation, is always the hardest !!!!!  you are not here and yet you are not there ... I am talking about my son Marc who is in the air force and at the end of this month, may 31, willb e flying  to Korea for a year....after that he will live in England for 2 years. Knowing my kid, if he can live there forever, I think he will...  it is going to be a fantastic experince living in Korea.  Kim Chi is right up his alley - he loves loves loves spicy food, unlike his mom

ana banana called yesterday and it was so nice chatting with her. i rec'd a copy of a study that was done on the importance of having female friends.  the female body produces a hormone (cant recall name), when women get together and share problems and ideas, which males do not produce. this hormone causes stress to lessen.  they think that is why women live longer than men. i found it soooooooooooo interesting. and i do believe it is true.

the bicycle race in Asuncion has been postponed to May 30th. I think we will go up a day early and meet Shari (finally) !!!  have ourselves a big BBQ and some fun. I am trying to convince valentin and edith to go. he will be  a good  influence on the kids.  he tells them they can reach for the stars and touch them ....
