Wednesday October 7th & Thursday October 8th, 2009

It is really Thursday as it is 12:10 our time and 1:10 SC time, boy have we had a discussion! Stacy got home at 6 and we had Stacy burritos. It starts out with a large tortilla on your plate, you smear refried beans in the middle then add hamburger with taco sauce then add salsa and cheese. Fold over and add more salsa and cheese and microwave for about 30 seconds or so, take out of microwave add lettuce tomatoes and sour cream and eat! It was very good. Stacy has a really bad cold and we all were supposed to go to a bible study but with Stacy feeling so bad Jessie went with the kids and we stayed at home and started having a very long discussion on religion! That is what made us so late to go to bed, Jessie fell asleep on Stacy on the couch and by the time we decided to head upstairs Melanie started fussing cause it was her supper time. So Stacy and Jessie are downstairs with Melanie and I am typing this and will then go to sleep. My throat is very sore too, it has been for a few days now, but it seems to be getting worse. Oh well, a good sleep can fix anything…………….can’t it?

Good morning, what a wonderful sleep! I just feel so bad about Ross not feeling well and not sleeping. Boy oh boy when I get back home I’ll have to fix him right up. I had homemade banana bread for breakfast with 2 cups of coffee. We watched tv for a while then went up to have a shower. We called Delta airlines because my itinery is all screwed up, it has me leaving here at 9:10 am Saturday and getting into PV at 11 something, I have an almost 5 hr layover in Mexico City then I leave Atlanta at 4 something and get into PV at 6 something! I leave here at 9:10 have an almost 5 hour layover in Mexico City and get into PV at about 5:50.

We were sitting in the living room and at about 1 or so Stacy walks in, he got all his work done that needed to get done so he took the rest of the day off and tomorrow too. We have to leave for Atlanta tomorrow as I am spending the night there so no one has to get up at 4 and drive there (It’s 2 hours away). After Melanie had lunch we took off to downtown Greenville, it is a very quaint downtown. Some Collage kids decided to do an assignment for school to make downtown more fun so with everyone’s ok they have created a mouse hunt. You can print off the paper with the clues on it from the internet and you follow the clues to find the mice. The mice are made of brass and they are cemented to the sidewalk or attached to an awning above a shop. Cami had a great time. We walked around a bit there is a river that runs through the city and they have cleaned it all up and have created a huge public space with benches, flowers, shrubs and walkways. It was kinda weird we were sitting down on a wall in the centre of a very nice area and there was a police officer standing not very far away from us and there was a bad guy sitting on the wall with handcuffs on. We hit 2 candy stores but I can’t find the candies that I can only find in Banff called sprogs.

We stopped to pick up the flyers that Stacy and Jessie deliver every Thursday then we came home to some very good veggy soup with warmed up bread and corn bread. I love corn bread! Stacy and Jessie are out doing the papers and Cami is helping me babysit Melanie. We had a great time playing, it is so good to be with children again, but I know it will also be nice to hear quiet too! We are all pretty tired tonight it’s 11:30 here and Jessie is asleep on the couch, Stacy is sitting on the other end of the couch with Melanie and I can’t keep my eyes open much longer.
