Christmas has come and gone in the blink of an eye, and the snow that also came has gone, too. It is bright and sunny outside today, and Laptop (Trent's beautiful longhaired cat) is roaming the back yard, pretending he is a wild feline with prey to catch! The squirrel that runs up and down in the leafless trees is keeping one eye on the ground today, just in case Laptop gets extra brave...but he probably doesn't have to worry. So far, it's all been pretending!
Well, today I'm posting about Andrea because I miss her, and maybe she needs to hear it! Andrea went to California last fall to attend Vanguard University. I am so proud of her! But...
Monday-night gettogethers at your house aren't as much fun without you, Andrea! And guess what! There's a new Super Wal-Mart opening this week up on Grant and 99th! We would surely have to go check it out if you were here. I miss you saying, "Aunt Jeanette, I have to ask you something," and then we'd go in your room and close the door for one of our girl-talk chats. We miss you saying, "Do you want to play Skip-Bo?" So now we are saying it instead, and your mom, Trent, and I are playing games together often. It would be so fun for you to help me cook Sunday dinner again or make apple crumble for dessert. Coral would be in I'm-as-stiff-as-I-can-get-with- excitement heaven if you were here today to sing along with her CDs. You are so special, girlfriend, and don't you forget it!

Hi Aunt Jeanette!
Your note and "tribute" to me was so thoughtful and precious! I love it. It was so good to talk with you on the phone today! :) Anyway, thanks for thinking of me. I miss you guys too! And no one out here will play Skip-Bo with me not matter how long and hard I beg them to. :( That is okay though, it just makes me appreciate you guys more. Tell Trant that I say hi! Talk to you later! Love ya, Andrea
Oh, Thank you!
Your blog has just burst into life!
We ALL are happy to hear it!
It makes it feel as if you are just around the corner and that is such a welcome feeling!
Mom's coming over to do laundry today (and I'm sure to pressure Kinza into sharing all she knows about conjugating "Avoir" and "Etre"). I shall pull the box of kleenex into front stage centre by the computer screen and invite her for a read!
