It's Cold and Rainy...

...outside. So, I am stuck inside doing spring cleaning and cleaning out closets. Getting ready for the big garage sale here, if i can ever find a good weekend for it. Gotta get rid of 1/2 of my stuff...Who needs all of this CRAP anyway!? gotta get rid of it! well, that's about all I am up to. Then i'll go to some auction sales this weekend and buy more junk. Going to an amish auction on saturday or sunday, so that is something different. I have new neighbors...I hear they have 11 kids!!! what!? maybe it's a rumor, because i have only seen one boy. I guess they homeschool their kids. I have seen a lot of amish tracks on my road the past month, so i thought maybe they were amish folks, but now i see a van there, so they must not be. anyway, it could be an interesting summer! Maybe we can finally have a REAL ballgame in my yard this summer. We'll see. Chris and I (as well as all 4 kids) are looking forward to getting the camper down to the lake. It will be nice to have our own spot to mess up instead of cluttering up mom's house. We hope to see some of you again this summer. I was disappointed to hear that Skinner's and some of Bender's weren't coming this summer. rats! what are we going to do!? I guess the policing put too much restriction on their fun. Well, there will certainly be another time and I look forward to that. I hope you are all feeling well and staying away from the swine flu. remember...if you have symptoms, go get a swab done. if it is positive, they can give you an antiviral medication and your symptoms will be much less severe...i hear it is responding well to it. also-this is true at least in minnesota and maybe other states, too...IF you have no insurance, the State of Minnesota will pay for the swab to be done (this can be costly). Then you are responsible for the office visit, which is likely less than the cost of the swabs and cultures. that's all my boring news. love and miss you all. -Sara
