After this I will not mention the cruise until I get back. I am almost to the point where I am going to say Yes to my MOM. I know she wants to go pretty bad. I guess I am convinced that I want her to go.

I am so grateful today that I live in a beautiful area where even when it is hot, it is still the most beautiful place I have ever lived. I did live in San Diego area for a year but except for the beaches I really don't miss it too much.

This weekend our town really hops; over Labor Day weekend we have a celebration called Paul Bunyan Days--complete w/ FIREWORKS! We don't have fireworks on the 4th of July so this is when we have them. People come from all over to visit our area. It is very nice to have such a wonderful celebration.

So, chances are I won't be able to get on here until next Tuesday. I will miss being on here sharing all that is going on in my life. I know it isn't forever but I might have MIP withdrawals. This is the best place I know to get it all out! I have so much to say sometimes & don't feel like I can share most of the stuff except on here. Thank you for a forum where I can be ME!

So, I will quit for now knowing that you all will be here when I get back.

Love Kathleen
