We were up in the mountains at the cabin and it snowed! There was about two inches on the ground and it looked like the middle of winter. <BR/>We now have a new pet in the mountains. He is a squirrel we named One-Eyed Jack (Jack, for short) because...you guessed it...he only has one eye. He's pretty brave. He came up to Mark and took a peanut right out of his hand. He's got some competition (another squirrel and a bluejay) but he can handle it. <BR/>Glad to hear your Dad is coming home tomorrow. Give your whole family our love. Great news about not having a wheat intolerance anymore. My students, and Mark and I will be praying that your MRI is clear next Wednesday. Please thank your Mom for taking the time to write and post pictures on your website. It's such a great way to keep in touch with what's going on with you. Take care!<BR/>Love and hugs,<BR/>LaurieLaurie Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15025217244946074605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1473958345745616776.post-39886762460354191362008-05-29T15:51:00.000-07:002008-05-29T15:51:00.000-07:00Kellllyyy!!!

It sounds like the doctors are doing all they can to minimize the discomfort. <BR/>I'm flying out tonight and will be home early tomorrow morning. I think we have something fun scheduled for tomorrow night. Can't wait!<BR/>Love you!Catalina Eddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13784487805362749076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1473958345745616776.post-77159865552588395722008-05-29T08:58:00.000-07:002008-05-29T08:58:00.000-07:00Dear Kelly,I remembered a little adventure I had i...Dear Kelly,<BR/><BR/>I remembered a little adventure I had in Freiburg years ago. It may amuse you or it may put you right to sleep. Either way, I guess there's no harm.<BR/><BR/>Freiburg is in the southwestern corner of Germany, not all that far from the French border. For that reason, the French forces decided to make it their headquarters after World War II. In the early 1970's, there was still a large French military presence in Freiburg.<BR/><BR/>Now, I'm fairly short, and I had dark brown hair in those days, which I kept short and I wore glasses with dark frames.<BR/><BR/>So there I was, walking past the French non-commissioned officers' club, and a French M.P. stopped me. The French had a big desertion problem. The German army would take them if they could speak German. The German army had a shorter enlistment and better pay, and once they had an honorable discharge from the German army, the French could do nothing, as long as the deserters stayed in Germany. There was also a bounty for catching and returning deserters, so M.P.'s were on the look-out. Anyway, the M.P. saw a couple of thousand francs coming his way, and he wanted to take me in. I said: "Sorry, I'm an American." I showed him my passport with my German visa stamps in it and everything. He said he thought I was a French deserter. He said my haircut complied with French military regulations, and the eyeglasses looked like French military issue, too. I asked him "What about the cane and the way I walk?" He said: "My friend, you'd be surprised at the acting I've seen."<BR/><BR/>After that, I'd see him from time to time around town. He'd give me a smile and a big wave. He wasn't a bad guy at all, really.<BR/><BR/>HenryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1473958345745616776.post-48782916588609877292008-05-29T08:17:00.000-07:002008-05-29T08:17:00.000-07:00Hi Kelly!

It leaves there and goes to Pearl Harbor but I am sure your Dad will be back home before the Washington gets there.<BR/><BR/>I will cross everything but my eyes (and maybe those too when I am not driving!) and pray for another beautiful picture of your brain on June 4th!<BR/><BR/>Hugs,<BR/><BR/>PatGabby's Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16187321176717055685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1473958345745616776.post-83753235739369358962008-05-29T06:56:00.000-07:002008-05-29T06:56:00.000-07:00Awesome news guys!!

The photos of the new infusion center look great. And the Lourdes rosary tucked in Kelly's pocket is a beautiful picture of her faith and strength! I'm so glad to hear about the wheat news too, and that Kelly was able to have croissants in France! That in itself is a miracle!<BR/><BR/>Hope you're resting well tonight. We'll all be saying prayers for a beautiful MRI on June 4th!<BR/>Love & hugs,<BR/>Aunt TracyTracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03529620265445356224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1473958345745616776.post-38371850522211892632008-05-28T20:54:00.000-07:002008-05-28T20:54:00.000-07:00Heyyy!!
