Hi there! Been having a crazy week! The Police officers' funeral really took a lot out of Garry and me too. Garry stood outside the church for 2 and 1/2 hours before the casket even got to the church. Let me tell you, with Garry's bad back, that tells you how much the brothers and sisters in blue mean to each other. He was downtown from 9:30am in formation until after 1pm. He got back to the station at 2pm. There were over 3000 officers there that morning. Today in the newspaper, there was a letter addressed to his 10mo. old son. I cried when I read it. The only thing that gets me a little miffed, is when the news people don't give the fallen officer the respect of calling him an "Officer" and call him the slang "cop". At least they could show the respect for the day. Oh well.....
Barb, it was nice chatting with you the other night. I will have to get back on IM again, but I've been trying to go to bed early the last few nights.
Well, this week, Makenzie has joined soccer! We have had two practices this week and her first game is on Sat. Her friends were on this team and they needed another player to have the right amount. Well, after asking us several times and Makenzie saying she REALLY wanted to try it, she joined up.She really likes it so far. The team just started only a week before, so she isn't far behind.
Yesterday another officer was shot. This sheriff's officer was shot in the neck, BUT he will survive his injury. Thank goodness!
Denine, I want to dress up for pirate night, but not sure in what. I have been thinking about getting costumes, but nothing set in stone. Let me guess, the costume for Kaleigh was the one with the pink stripe one, right? If we dress up, that is one night I don't have to worry about what to wear! Then I will know exactly what I'm wearing for each night for dinner. We will probably dress up (hopefully I can get Garry to dress up, and not in Pittsburgh Pirate stuff, LOL) It could be fun! We shall see!!!!
Well, gotta go! I'll be back! Hopefully we can hear from those cruisers!!
