Back from Mexico

Hi! we had a wonderful trip.. as always.. We took 4 wheelers into the mountains, ate pie in a village you can only get to by boat "Yelapa." The pie is world famous and I now know why. We swam every day in the ocean and also the pools at he hotel, shopped in the outdoor markets and the "girls" spent a day at the spa. What can I say other than I wish you were all there to enjoy it with us. Kate..beautiful job on your house! You and Ford can now come home at night and enjoy cooking with lots of room to move around. It will also add a lot of value to your home and that is always a good thing!! I know that it has also helped you pass the time while our guy is away. I know how hard it is on you and wish I lived closer so I could be there for you on days you need company or help with a project or just someone to share a meal. You are doing extremely well, but I know that some of your days are really tough.. I will blog after Tom's surgery on Tuesday to let you know how he is doing. Mom L

Done.

Special thanks to:
Corliss - who enticed
Zoe - who enabled
Mom - who encouraged
& of course, Ford - who entrusted

Greetings from Wonderful Wyo!

Hi Ford,

I've been meaning to write a note to you for a while. Well here I am. Everything is Wyo. is good. Gail and I send love. I think about you often and you are in my daily prayers. Great news about the gov. Palin, I think she's great. I hope and pray that she is our next VP. If the other fella wins, you guys will have to replace all the transmissions in tanks with one speed forward and five reverse.

I heard a story yesterday that goes: The election in November ends in a vertial tie, both McCain and the other guy got the exact same number of votes. To break the tie, they decided to have a fishing contest and to have the contest in Alaska. Since it was November and the lakes were frozen, they had to have an ice fishing contest. Five day contest most fish caught wins. Day one McCain catches 5, Obama 0. Day two McCain 10, Obama 0. Day three McCain 7, Obama 0. Obama decides that if he is going to win he needs some help. So he call Harry Reid, senate majority leader for advice. Harry told Obama to follow McCain on day four and see what he is doing to catch all the fish. Obama follows the advice and that evening Harry asks, "did you find out what he's doing?" Obama says, "that SOS is cutting holes in the ice."

Ford, I love you dearly. Stay safe. God's speed.

Uncle John

Thank you

Never Forget!

Thank you to your team and you Ford. Love you mucho!

mass exodus to Seattle

I'm all for Kates idea.

Thanks Kate for hanging out with Beau-Beau and his buddy "Q"...AKA Quentin, one of Beau's buddies.

Thanks brother for your continues selflessness. To that end, I will be happy when you are out.

I'm going to send you a care package in the next week or two.

I'm going to go to Barnes and Noble and get you a book too. It will be a surprize

Maybe a few more of those power bars from Wagners Bakery

Anyway

Love from Olympia

Going on Vacation

Hey Ford:

We are getting ready to leave for Mexico Friday. While doing some packing today you came into my thoughts and I so wish you and Miss Katie were packing to go with us.

Hope you have received the parcel we sent. Couldn't think of a hugh amount of things but bought what I thought you couldn't get there. Will send another when we return from vacation.

April and Kurt are going to come for a few days. I'm really looking forward to seeing them. Hope you and Kate will beable to meet them someday. You already know April but it has been many years since you saw her. She's an awesome young woman. Kurt is pretty awesome too.

McGee was really sick last week. His vet said his lipase level was high so he had a little bout of pancreatitis. Had to put him on a very low fat diet. He seems to like the food but it's hard finding treats that don't have a lot of fat. Anyway, he's much better now so that's a positive. He's kind of like my child so when he gets sick it really stresses me out.

Really looking forward to seeing your folks. I wish we lived closer. As Blayne said, family is all you really have in this world so you need to hold them close. I'm definitely going to make an effort to see all of you more often than I have in the past. There aren't that many of us (Olsen's) so it shouldn't be that hard.

Hope all is well with you and that you are staying reasonably safe. I love you Ford.
