Valentines week

Dear Friends and Family,

I am having more fun checking out other peoples bloggs and learning so very much from that. I get recipes..craft ideas, hints on all sorts of stuff that interests me..it really is my newspaper and I do enjoy it in the mornings. It is kinda addicting and I have to pull myself away after awhile. Would get nothing else much done if I didn't see time fly right by me.

I have been shredding old papers...going through old boxes and saving what is neccessary and getting rid of stupid old reciepts and 20 year old things that will never be used. What a job..and I burned up the shredder...so have to get another one. oh well,

didn't think that would happen - just a simple job and I can seem to get machines to act their worse easily.

We are enjoying watching Teresa Jo's doggie "Skitto" --4 year old great dane...she doesn't know she is big and when she gets rolling running it is so hard for her to stop...like a locomotive express...and if Molly gets in the way she gets mad...and if Copper (our german shorthair) is nearby he watches out for his own space because he doesn't move too fast anyways...it is a real circus now and just letting them out in the morning is an event. We had about 2-3 inches of snow night before last and it was Skitto's first fling in the snow...she was so cute and funny. Took movies and pictures.

We are expected to have alot of snow tonight again..Alaska got 14 inches last night and it is coming our way. Wow. We are suppose to have friends over for Valentines dinner Sat night but if it is terribly bad weather...we will probably cancel. We will see.

Haven't heard from Eric in a week or so..the last communication was with Mack...and he said Eric is fine and keeping busy..looking forward to getting home in July...It has been a long haul for him this trip...15 months. We are all thinking of him..occassionally I get a box off to him...he did say he wants more peanut butter cookies...he love them so. His address is:

SSG. Longhofer, Eric

542nd SMC

Camp Bucca,

APO, A.E. 09375

(don't put Iraq on it as it could get lost)

I know he loves to hear from all our family and friends...makes his day alittle lighter.

Guess that is all for now..I plan to blogg more frequently..so

check it out more..

hugs & Prayers,

BJM
