party.

So we went to Lindsay's graduation party last night. It was a lot of fun. I didn't know quite a few people there but I knew a few too. Paul and Jane were there as was Grandma Young, Marsha (Paul's sister), and Mark (Paul's Brother). Lindsay's mom has been battling cancer (actually... the last I heard, the cancer was hollering "no mas, no mas" and begging for mercy. None will be given) and is doing very well. Honestly if I didn't know it already, I wouldn't have been able to tell as she was looking very nice.

This week were are going to call Jon and Sheila and attempt to go pick up a cat. Lindsay's parents have a few cats and Patrick and Nellie were very intrigued, so I think they might like a cat. That was another big worry as they aren't animal lovers at all.

Today we are off to church this morning and then over to eat lunch with Paul and Jane. They are cooking some fish. Yum yum!

So to recap... This is our quiet weekend at home. Last night was to Girard and back (65 miles one way). Today is to Scammon and back (60 miles one way). So that's 250 miles of travel on a "quiet weekend at home". I wish they'd hurry up and invent teleporters.

Miranda is ready for summer. Just a few more days of school left. After school, she is going to Vinita to help Mom clean out Grandma's trailer. All of her Grains of Salt papers are still in the trailer and need to be stored. Mom and Dad will be glad to spend some time with Patrick and Nellie.

Random thoughts: I'm getting tired of typing Independence, KS. That's a long name for a town. Every time I order something over the Internet, I think my fingers are going to fall off. It's a very odd name to type: Independence... Too many E's.

Luckily Kansas is the first 'K' state. They usually have the states in a drop down box and you can just press 'K' and it goes right to Kansas. So that's a time saver. Missouri was the 7th 'M' state alphabetically so you had to press 'M' 7 times. So that sorta makes up for having to type Independence.

I know what you are saying at this point... "Please refrain from random thoughts from now on". But now you know what the big worries are in my life. Keystrokes baby! The lesser the better.
