Edwards is the only candidate in this race who has never taken a dime from Washington lobbyists or special interests. He's not going to ask the drug companies, insurance companies and their Washington lobbyists to bankroll his campaign—he's depending on the support of tens of thousands of people like you.

Good morning, Yes Kelsey it is wierd to be where there is only one zip code and one area code, although it was like that when we lived in Willits. Yes Barb we know where the Christmas tree is going and we are so excited that you and family and Tom and family are going to be here and anyone else that can make it. The adjustment was easy and not easy. I had several melt downs wondering what had we done but now being in our dream retirement home and having met some wonderful friends it is OK and now that I can fly we plan to fly out west and of course drive to Florida.

I noticed that some of you have little postage stamps pictures by your messages, how do you do that?

The Perils of Being a Tech

Right now, I'm sitting in the Portland Hilton Grand Ballroom running audio for a charity dinner prepared by all these famous chefs from around the northwest. I am surrounded by this great looking food and I can't eat any of it. I'm slowly going mad!

It's nice to see everybody pick up on the blog thing. I'm still working on a doctored family picture but I need a lot more, so please send me photos.

Have a good weekend everyone!

Hey, has anybody seen Brother Mike????

Our new home.

Hi everyone, here are some pictures of our new home. We moved in 2 weeks ago. When I was packing in Las Vegas I wrote Mike about the "stuff" aliens that kept adding more "stuff" just when I thought I was done. Well they have found us, we empty about 10-15 boxes every day but there are always more waiting for us, but we still can't find the "stuff" we really need-like dishes.

One of my favorite times of the year

Hey Fam!

I am very excited about this blog idea. Great work Jason! I am scraping for something to post about so I'll just tell you that Melissa and I just got back from our annual Dave Matthews Band mini tour. Melissa and I are big fans of the band and we always attend the Florida shows when they come every summer. This year we saw them on a Wednesday in Tampa (took the rest of the week off), drove down to West palm Beach (on the east coast) and saw the band on Friday night and Saturday night. Our best Friends Sam and Alaina were with us the entire time. What a great time!

Hello All,

This is very cool. I like the way it looks. Once I get the hang of it we will send in some pictures of the girls and I.

All is good here in Southern California. Jacy is in 10th grade and Chelsie has started her second year in college. Chelsie is also working at Medieval Times taking reservations. Chelsie is the Stage Manager at Cypress College and loves it. I have gone to a play and she does a fantastic job.

Jacy is working on getting her license which if all goes well she will have it by mid October. She is playing softball this winter so every Saturday is double headers which is a lot of fun. She is playing catcher which I love to watch her do.

Plan to see the Nor Cal crew in October for Granny's birthday. Chelsie, Jacy and I will be coming up.

Well, that's it for now. Take care and I will blog again soon!

Hello to all

What a great site!! How fun to share all our thoughts and experiences. Jason, please keep us updated. Mike and I just returned from a great weekend at Tahoe. Met friends there and golfed, ate, drank (something new for us) and gambled. We did our usual "time share" presentation and had a great time; 3 nights in a gorgeous 1 bedroom condo for $149. The weather was alot like Barbara was describing but turned out to be a wonderful weekend.

Love to all,
Mardi

First Day of Fall

Happy First Day of Autumn! We have great weather here today - but yesterday, the last day of summer, it snowed up on Mt. Charleston! Erik is up there at a camp with a bunch of elementary kids from church and he said it hailed, lightened, and washed away the walkway to their cabin on Friday night. Also, we had gobs of rain in the valley here and tornado warnings on Friday night, go figure. But, today, it's all calm and blue skies, a wonderful day. We finally have all the windows open and are enjoying 62 degree weather. AHHH... Triple digit temperatures are gone, we hope!
Love to you all
Barbara
