It's dreary out here...but at least it's not butt-numbing cold. Sixty four degrees.

Hey, you know after Joshua watched that Cars movie, he got interested in Route 66? We checked out a bunch of books and videos about it and he even joined the Oklahoma Route 66 Association. He wrote them a nice letter in cursive telling them he wanted to join "to help Route 66". Heh!

Anyway, they wrote him back, sent him his membership card and also a package with a little lava lamp night light! It's got "Mater" on it...from the Cars movie.

He was absolutely thrilled. Click here to see the letter...what a riot!!

Dear all,

Pippin is off line. She is locked out of FR at work, and her home 'puter is screeching.

From her description, it sounds like a hard drive problem.

She extends her regards to all her FRiends, and will be back as soon as she can. She asked that I post this so y'all wouldn't worry if you didn't see her for a while.

Best,

nully

Well, if it makes you feel any better, we had our tv for at least 10 years before a storm took it out. Then my sister gave me hers because it wasn't working. $60 later and it's a great one. Just a regular 27" but it's fine. Course she got a big flat screen, but I get to stay home with my kids...most of the time that's a good thing.

I told G'nad that it was time for him to stay home and me go to work because my Social Security statement says I do not yet qualify for SS...or Medicare. Ouch! I need to be a productive member of society.

I bought the Cars movie, Over the Hedge, and another movie for $20 yesterday. Blockbuster has a deal where you bring in your on-line rental to trade it in for a store rental, and while you're there, you can get 3 for $20.

It's a beautiful day...we're getting ready to clean out the coop.

In other news, thegirl won a spelling bee and will compete in Springfield at the end of March. She's 11 and it's for kids up to 8th grade but no older than 16. (though I don't see how you could be smart enough to be in a spelling be if you still in the 8th grade at 16)

That's GREAT, 2J! Joshua must have been thrilled to get the letter AND the night light!! So does he want to help at the booth? Talk about an opportunity for 'socialization'! HAH!
