Anne warned up about the prevailing smell here in Greeley but it is really quite overwhelming. Like living next to a feed lot...very manurey! It does motivate me to stay inside.

Well, Anne's team did very well yesterday and won both matches. That makes them first place in their pool. They will play the second place team of the other pool this morning. If they win that game they will play at 7:30 tonight in the championship game. If they lose, they play in a game at 5 pm tonight for third place. We're really rooting for them to win but the team this morning will be much more challenging. UVSC has the second best record in the tournament. In spite of a sore back, Anne is doing a great job. Everytime she comes out of the game they have an icepack ready for her back. She has still had some great kills.

Dad is still fighting off his cold and we are discussing at length various challenges of bringing Gramma up. We're committed now! We have had mixed responses from her friends...they really wanted to keep her in her home but it is becoming very obvious that she cannot safely do so. I don't envy the rest of the family who has to clean out the old house.

Marnie, I am so glad that you were able to sell the kitten so quickly. Not being a pet person myself...I greatly sympathize. I know you'd be more of a pet person were you to have more time to spend with it but I think the experience taught you a lot about yourself.

Loved the pictures from Korea. We had so much fun with the girls. It touched my heart that Ellyn clung to me when we were making the transition. I just love all three of them so much!

Love you all,

Mom
