Well, well! Hello world! Yes, Samantha did enjoy her trip to New York and Chicago! I can not begin to tell you the amount of stories, pictures, and what-nots that we have heard about or seen. She is a very lucky girl. The big cities haven't seemed to phased her. I was very impressed with her uncle. As she tells it, Uncle Bill and she skipped down a street in New York. Who knew Bill could even skip? Over all, she went to Times Square, M&M World, Central Park, on a ferry by the Statue of Liberty, she walked by where they filmed the David Letterman show. She got to see where her Uncle Bill worked. She also went to the Brooklyn Zoo. She picked up Poley, a stuffed polar bear. Know she is working on the scrapbook to put all of her New York and Chicago times together. Let's see other news: Samantha and I went to the Muny with Alison and Cal. That was fun, I think Alison and I enjoyed the play more. The kids enjoyed their fans that shot water at them. I don't think the people around us enjoyed the fans as much! We have gotten to see Grandma DeDe a few times. She is teaching a class full of first graders. God Bless Her! She is keeping busy, very busy. We didn't get to go see her at Farmington on the 4th due to the fact that I wasn't feeling well. The kids went to see the fireworks with Jason here in Sikeston. Sarah did not care for the sounds, they reminded her of the trees falling during the ice storm. She thought they were falling again. It's funny what kids remember. Interesting, how that popped up. She hasn't even mentioned the ice storm until the fireworks. Jason is job hunting. No more King of the Hill. He is out everyday filling out apps or collecting them. Well, I will let you all go. I promise to post sooner next time! Until then, God Bless.
