Good times. <br /><br />I still cannot find your keys. I must get my car into the shop, but cannot be without a car as Madeline has drivers ed and Claire swimming lessons and piano lessons and soccer camp and I work. I think I may call Subaru and have them make a key from the VIN (number. Ha!)to make me a new key. <br /><br />Casey is a sheerah warrior woman. It was time to take Doug home and she was exhausted and angry and scared and worn out. So, like the Redmond woman she is, she took charge of the whole show and got him home. He is in the Steamboat Hospital. Kim and Taylor said he was so happy to be there. I know that this will be a million times better for all of them. <br /><br />Madeline started drivers ed. We were late. That was bad. She stayed up late doing her homework. That was good. She is very excited. That is good.<br /><br />I bought Claire a bike. She calls it Falcy (it's "brand" or whatever is a Falcon.) She could not be happier. <br /><br />When you get home lets have a Mongolian Opera night. You can play all the parts and Madeline and Maggie and Claire and Tasha, Tremble, Pepper and Stevie can be the audience. That sounds like fun.<br /><br />I love you. Much. Like bacon.<br /><br />love, maDeirdrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16926714731546087914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5751729376046619825.post-83277924261935886342009-07-06T20:11:59.809-07:002009-07-06T20:11:59.809-07:00So the Mongolian opera sounds pretty awesome, I...So the Mongolian opera sounds pretty awesome, I'm kinda jealous! I hope you enjoyed your fourth overall...funny how the patriotism hit you when you are no longer in a country where fourth of july means something other than the fourth day of the month. I felt pretty patriotic myself...Gabb bought me a kid's pack of fireworks since Minnesota didn't allow fireworks when I was a young one, and then I got to shoot bottle rockets at mikey's, and then mikey burned his thumb on a fuse and we all laughed at him. And like Gabb said, we have a French intern in our lab and he rocks at juggling. He tried teaching me to juggle pins/clubs but it was disastrous. I am glad you are doing cool stuff and rocking the world! Keep on keepin on! Love you tons!Aaron Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00462989240699436876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5751729376046619825.post-21894773449334328482009-07-06T18:02:44.902-07:002009-07-06T18:02:44.902-07:00I met Aaron's boss at a IP Lab picnic (where t...I met Aaron's boss at a IP Lab picnic (where there was a French juggler) and his wife was quite huffy about not understanding why 'girls these days' were waiting forever to get married...to which I responded "I hate weddings and my best friend is in Mongolia." Their suggestion was to go to Mongolia. Bring on the vodka and all night party!Gabbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15380602724264998922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5751729376046619825.post-9015928400584162252009-07-06T12:56:09.020-07:002009-07-06T12:56:09.020-07:00Hey sweet pea!

All the Walters girls were there, as their dad died and they were having a memorial. They rented all the Van Camp Cabins in Yampa, over by the post office. It was the Walters Compound. A mediocre but earnest rock band played both nights, so we went up and danced. David was holding court, as you can imagine. It was fun dancing with Darla's daughter Alyssa, who is about your age. I got to see Kim and Taylor briefly in Steamboat, as they were headed back down to Loveland. Casey gave me a dresser, yahoo. Yes, my dad is maddest at me, as I was actually driving up there. Pat and Charlie didn't go. But I had too much on my plate, and as you know, he takes total care. I'm starting to get a picture that you are with this host family for a little while longer, and then your assignment might be in a totally different locale? And you will live alone? Yes, do send address, I'm enjoying assembling items. How's the Mongolian cheese?katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11737490421858959526noreply@blogger.com
