Hi All<br /><br />Another Tuesday in the books.  Lynda talk to our youngest son (32 yrs old) today.  He is livng in Joplin, Mo which is about 150 miles from KC.  He has been going with the same girl for about 9 months and they are talking about getting married next year.  There is still hope for the boy.  We have had some real hard times with him so we are both excited that he has finally grown up.  Besides we both really like the girlfriend&#33;  Are going to Joplin on Saturday to check on repairs to some grave sites that were supposed to have been done and have lunch with them.  Can&#39;t leave dad too long so will go down in the morning and back home in the afternoon.<br /><br />Gas prices jumped 12 cents today to &#036;3.21.  Summer looks like it will be expensive for gasoline.<br /><br />Ed, Mary Lou, Jackie....I&#39;m getting excited you all are going on cruises real soon, Iknow you all are too&#33;<br /><br />That silly parot of mine is carry on a conversation with herself&#33;  She keeps saying &quot;wierd bird&quot;.  Wonder who taught her that? <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/blush.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blush:" border="0" alt="blush.gif" /> <br /><br />No baseball tonight so better go get something done.<br /><br />Have a good evening.
