It's great to read...Hi, beloved granddaughter! It's great to read your blogs. Sounds like you did your best to celebrate the Fourth. We especially enjoyed your surprise phone call. This modern age -- you sounded like you were across the street, not across the world! Anyway, you are indeed a trooper and always have been. Grandma and I have you not only in our thoughts but in our prayers as well. Keep on keepin' on!<br />Love, <br />Grampa MMurphandPattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17536306364662855756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5751729376046619825.post-51572244529450596372009-07-05T16:42:49.069-07:002009-07-05T16:42:49.069-07:00Caitlin, good to hear from you! Happy 4th of July....Caitlin, good to hear from you! Happy 4th of July. Lucy has been pushing under the chain link fence and otherwise whining at the back door, spending a large amount of time ( and I mean large) inside due to fear of the fireworks. Do the Mongolians have fireworks? Obviously those originated in China so they may decline! Dianna and I had Alex overnight, he got tubes in both ears last Thursday, but is doing well. He seems to be hearing better (when he wants to) and should be speaking mu7ch better soon. His birthday is 07/18, he will be 2 yrs. old! It has finally slowed own on the rain here and is getting hot out again. Got to ride the motorcycle to R.C.last week which was fun, but made it back home just in time for some thunder, then rain. The Zamboni's play again on 07/17 - 18 so will give you a shout out! This country needs to get over MJ already!!

Glad you arrived safely, and sad you ...Hi Caitlin,<br /><br />Glad you arrived safely, and sad you Mom had to turn back. Odd hearing about happenings across town via the wilds of Mongolia.<br /><br />My friend Dan made two trips to Inner Mongolia. He practically lived on chicken feet for six weeks. The worst thing he had to consume was Tibetan tea with rancid yak butter--gak! The second worst thing was baiju, Chinese white lightning. At banquets Dan would be toasted frequently with each toast requiring a shot.<br /><br />Beware of Mongols bearing cheese.<br /><br />Tom JunttiAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10256016238224103597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5751729376046619825.post-60083981809059267292009-07-04T21:05:11.547-07:002009-07-04T21:05:11.547-07:00I only get net access once or twice every 9 days, ...I only get net access once or twice every 9 days, and I took the time to read up on your adventures. Camping is too cool for school! Can you believe gab is engages? WTF! awesome!<br /><br />Too many crazy things in the world.

I think it is transmission. Puke!<br /><br />Claire is a trooper, though, like you, so we trooped back. I just feel so badly about Casey. Dad wanted to go to Yampa and is mad that no one is taking him. <br /><br />Madeline is staying with the Mayor, so she is not feeling badly or sadly. I may drink. Heavily.<br /><br />Happy 4th of July. <br /><br />Nice to read on you. I saw a very cute picture of you and Kimberly and Ellie on Ellie's face book. <br /><br />I love you! I am sorry I am always the first one on your comments. But what's a mother do to?<br /><br />love, maDeirdrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16926714731546087914noreply@blogger.com
