Okay, Dave, I just did a detailed investigation of both my options. U-pack quoted me at $5003.00. U-haul, including my gasoline calculations put me at $2,591. I'm going to have Mike look at everything I looked at and check my math (not my strong point) but I'm afraid that U-haul is much cheaper. I could justify it if I had kids that were rotten travellers but I don't. They are angels. Now I don't know about Bailey. Maybe she'll get to ride with Mike! We've always travelled seperately in the past because of the dual car deal and it hasn't been bad. We use walkie talkies and actually now we have our cell phones. If you have any further thoughts on the subject I would love to hear them.

Besides that, it was good to hear your plans as far as travel and house buying. Are you staying with Kenn and Barb until you buy your own or will you rent in Washougal?

Jane wants a pioneer birthday. So...this is what I thought of. I thought we could do a big party with both families either at the Stinchfields' if you've recovered or at my mom and dad's on the 13th, 14th, or 15th. We could do kick the can ice cream and relay races (three legged, tug o' war, and wheelbarrow etc...) and a pie eating contest and do a combined Isaac and Jane party (I thought Isaac would be a fan of all the games). We could cook out as well. Does that sound fun to anyone else? Let me know.

Okay, Mike's home for lunch so I'm off. Anne and Peter, only 2 more days!
