Prairie Nooz Companion

Hello all,

Missed a few of you on Sunday night so here it is ---

Nice visit with Chaz, Maria, Raymond(bare naked) and Lily in the tub. Maria leaves Friday to fly to Springfield visiting Kelly for a long weekend.

Lisa and Brian had already left for Las Vegas so I left an anniversary message on their machine.

CC didn't answer but called back later to say they were eating when I called. She worked at Belk's Sat and Sun.

Kelly wasn't home either but her blog shows what she has been doing.

I did visit Leslee Hoover in Indianapolis on Thurs, only a 3 1/2 hour drive away. What a whirlwind life they have lived since moving from Marion. We talked from 9:30 am to 6pm with a lunch break to meet Phil. Another great emotional bank deposit. I took my computor so she could see MyPictures of you all. They were living in New Orleans when Katrina hit so I got her take on all that had happend there. She was involved in MardiGras pretty heavily, lots of posters and necklaces. Zach and his wife Sandy live in Des Moines IA with their 1 yr old son Sullivan Hoover. Isn't that a great name? He is a massage therapist.
Rachel is married and lives in Cincinnati with her almost 1yr old twin boys, Asher and I can't remember the other name. I'll get her number for Chaz.

Sunday, Clare had a brunch for Sarah and her baby Rose in town for Paul Todd's 85th birthday.
Rose favors Boone's eyes and coloring. She is a colicky baby and the only thing that can quiet her is the vacuum cleaner which was discovered accidently. One of the presents was a Dirt Devil handy vac, a little smaller than a reg vac. Dave commented that you couldn't take a vac cleaner to school, aka bubby or blankie because... nature abhors a vaccum.

I tried out for a musical USO show that the senior class theater at the Civic is doing in November. 8 men, 8 women, so I have a chance, 28 songs from 1920-1944. I will find out Friday. At least I tried out.

That's all for now.
