**YAWN**

So my sister-in-law has told my father that he just "HAS" to bring the postcards to the wedding. She wants to "prove" to him that they aren't from her friends. She is also bringing her camara so that we can take pictures of them and finally get them in the gallary.

I'd tell you that Dad has mentioned some new things but so big news hit the family and we aren't really talking about anything else right now. Its nothing life threatening and it really revolves around my little brother, Max.... so not to worry... Dad is still doing really well.

I think he might even have his final chemo treatment tomorrow. DAMN, I need to check into that one. I've been trying to come up with some other "new" idea for September but nothing is coming to mind. Anyone have a creative idea to share? If so, let me know... my mind is not coming up with anything!

Let's Play House

My cousin is getting married this coming week-end. So, one of my brothers, my sister-in-law, and my parents are joining us up north for the wedding. It is going to be a nice week-end because no one is bring the "children" along. It hasn't been only adults in years. I can't wait!

Meanwhile, Dad and Mom are working on getting bids on the house. They are replacing both furnances, two air conditioners, and getting a new roof. They live in this big old house and we thought they'd have sold it long ago but it doesn't appear they have any interest in doing that for some time.

In actuality, it is nice to have the big house. It allows for the family to gather in one spot regularly. But what this means for you, the reader, not much discussion going on about the mail. Quotes on roofing, I know all about that one.

I'm cornering Linda this week-end and we are going to be taking digital pictures. I've convinced Dad that he should bring the postcards to the wedding so Linda can see what "her friends" have been up to these days!

Its Only Fun Until Someone Gets Hurt

I have very much been enjoying this little "social experiment" with my father. The laugher the cards and the keys and the pop tops have created are so appreciated. However, someone has taken the game and made it less fun.

See, suddenly Mom and Dad are getting magazines sent to their house. Magazines that require them to argue to get them discontinued. If you are signing Dad up for magazines; please stop. It isn't appreciated and is causing the game to go from fun to frustrating. My sister-in-law is taking the "blame" at this point but I'm going to have to step up and take the pressure off her soon. This little new bump has caused Linda to be very defensive about it not being her.

Again, Dad is very much getting a kick out of the letters, the keys, the postcards, and feel free to send him those things. However, I must ask that magazines STOP coming to the house.

Sincerely,
Dana
