Oh my goodness, I've been away from computers for a long time! I've been at my mama's house while Billy rips all the moldy drywall out of the basement. I'm allergic to the stuff so I had to leave during the proceedings and it took a week and a half and a heroic effort on Billy's part. And he did it! Yeah Billy! It's been a real test for me to not be able to help with a project at all except by leaving. But Phase 1 is done with the ripping out and now I can be at home to help figure out Phase 2-or 'What to do with the basement now'. It's the longest I've ever been away from Georgia. She had to stay since she's in school. We both survived and there was no permanent damage. In fact, Georgia seems emotionally stronger and more independant. Maybe I should go away more often. It was quite a disruption to all of our lives though and we all got sick. Maybe we would have gotten these colds and flus anyways, but maybe not.
We did lots of fun stuff on our trip and I got to spend lots of good time with my sister and neice and mom. Thanks ladies for making us so welcome and playing with us! And we had a wildly successful visit with the Evanston crew. They were all a sight for sore eyes. I miss you guys!

„hat a struggle you guys have had with your house. I hope you can get it liveable. ?illy is a great worker and he never gives up. Good for him..
Ĺ note to Layli: What a great letter to Khalil. He has great potential as we all who are children of God do. He really needed to hear what you had to say. I always think of the first time I saw him. I was so choked up by the look of goodness that he had even as a small baby.
„hat a great family we have.
Love, Grandma Patty
