A LITTLE VALIUM WITH YOUR COFFEE?

Hello everyone on this bright, clear, sunny day!

Well, it is somewhere!

In Regina, it’s cloudy and –23 C (normal enough for those who aren’t normal enough)!

This is not going to be a long, drawn out post, rather just the final deep breath before the ‘rush to the finish’!

First, just a quick note about Creatch. Poor guy was so upset about what happened, when he ‘got rid of the fur-ball’, that he’s gone back to his closet and retired from the bloging scene! However, he does send you his best wishes and will keep up on the news by reading about it on his PC!

OK, we’re into the final week, so let’s get caught up:

  • teams are doing great;
  • Project Gambia is doing great;
  • there will be someone in next week to look at the mold.
There, we’re caught up on the everyday stuff! Now for the news! Alycia and Danny are doing just fine (as far as one can be, considering)! Danny’s mother, Ruth, will be leaving Regina on Saturday and arriving in London (and then to Wednesbury) on Monday! Not bad timing, what! Grandpa-to-be, Dave, will be following about a week or so after that. So, they are going to be having a wonderful time and that’s for sure!

For the rest of us, who won’t be there to watch (mixed reactions on that), I guess we (or at least me) will have to come down a notch and watch the NASA mission, STS123 (the shuttle Endeavour ), launch from Cape Canaveral carrying Japanese and Canadian components to the International Space Station! Rather a ho-hum second choice, don’t you think!

Alright, alright, I know – the pressure is driving me "Miss Daisy" as well, so in order to relieve the stress, let’s have a contest! I’ll call it:



IT’S A BABY ….. ?

And you enter you choice! This can be done by simply (honest, it is easy) leaving a comment! I know it’s not hard because of the ‘3’ comments on the last post, I left two (Alycia left to other)! I know there were a couple of other attempts, but don’t worry (be happy!) and try again!

So, after I leave the first comment (writer’s prerogative), it’s back to sitting on the edge of the chair and biting my finger nails until Tuesday!

But before I go, here's that picture of Aycia's brother, Tim, and nephew, Seth.





Until then, Blessings upon you and yours and remember: GOD loves you!


p.s.: It seems I got something wrong and forgot to mention something - wonder how that happened? Grandpa-to-be Dave will be going to England around March 27th. He says that will give Gramma Ruth more time with the kids and more time away from him (honest, he said that)!

You have all heard, by now, about the magnitude 5.2 Earthquake that rolled through the UK last week - from the NE in York, down through the West Midlands, and into Wales! Well. our intrepid trio SLEEP THROUGH IT! They did wake up when the alarm clock fell off the shelf onto their bed, but they went back to sleep within 10 seconds (you know your tired when ...)!

Now, I've just received an e-mail from Alycia (which is the main reason for this p.s.:) and TODAY IS DANNY'S 29TH BIRTHDAY! WAHOO! CELEBRATE! CELEBRATE! LET'S HAVE A PARTY! - after all Danny has to work, but we can still give a CHEER for him! Way to Go Danny Boy! May you have many, many, many more! Be careful, take it easy, be safe - But Have Fun!

Also, the 'fixit guys' are coming today to repair/fix/redue the baby's bedroom (or at least start)! Sure do hope they "MAKE IT RIGHT!"

OH yeah, Alycia's C-section has been rescheduled for Wednesday, March 12th! She says she's FRUSTRATED but not worried (after all, that's what we're for right! - my words)! Besides, it will give Ruth an extra day to settle in and get use to the warm, balmy English weather!

Well, I think that's it for now, again! So, take another, last, deep breath and we'll talk again soon enough! Until then, remember: GLY!

I "just know" it's going to be a BOY! How do I "just know", you ask? Well, OK, you did ask! Let's check the evidence: even though she's not saying, my source has told me the baby is really travelling; my source says she has really grown in size; and the final, scientifc, proof is that the home-pregnacy-test result was coloured BLUE! I also have a mental picture about Alycia out shopping! With the hugh tummy leading the way, she looks just like someone out walking a pet cat (on a lease) - you follow the cat! Alycia just follows the tummy - which usually heads for the potato chips, soft drinks, and sporting goods sections in the store! Love to all!

The mold fix-it guys were a complete waste of time! No surprize there. We've hired professionals to take care of it. I mean professional fix it guys, not professional hitmen - all though I hear they could "take care of it" as well. Anyway, the real guys are coming tomorrow and take it from there. Here's the best part - we're not paying for it. We're taking it off our rent and sending the receipts to the Landlord.

As for the boy/ girl competition - I hope lots of people vote here! There's only a few days before we find out!

I think that it's puppies. A few of each.

First off......HAPPY BIRTHDAY DANNY. from Susan and Gerry.

Well, the 50/50 baby pool. Let's "C". My vote is for a girl. She will come out running I think, just to keep up with her parents. Someone t balance both sides, cuddles, ahhhhhhhhhh moments, daddy's little precess and mommy'w tomboy all rolled up into one. Ringlets and sparkly eyes wondering what can I do next. Most importantly someone who will know how much God loves her and will be blessing her and her family all the days of her life starting with 1 Corinthians 15:51 (which is stenciled on the wall of our church nursury - Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed-
love to all Susan and Gerry.

Sorry, my spelling mistake on comment from Susan and Gerry - gotta learn to proofread!

Should be " ... daddy's little princess and mommy's tomboy ... "

Hope it makes sense now!
