Memorial Day
I've been quite honored this week!  I have been asked to be the speaker at the Memorial Day service at the Monument on Monday.  The subject is the honor of serving in the armed forces.  I will focus on the work being done by Alan and Chris in Iraq. Wish me luck.

Washington DC
Just got home from a trip to visit Tom, Laura and Quinn.  We had a great time!  I got to spend a day of personal time with Quinn, see a Washington Nationals game, shop a farmers market, and visit Mr. Lincoln at his memorial. The new house is very nice with a great yard for Quinn to explore. Everyone is doing well.

"The Actor's Nightmare"

One of my driving passions is community theatre. Note the cast on my leg.  I broke it the night of dress rehearsal, but still made every performance with a little help from my friends.

What's New?  Alan is now stationed at Fort Leavenworth Kansas and is the assistant to General Caldwell.  Last week he was the personal escort for Colin Powell during his tour of the fort..   Candy is working for the Marion court system and spending time at home with her husband and baby girl. Tom is on the road with the Washington Nationals. He and wife Laura have a daughter and are expecting another child in October.  I am sewing matching outfits for the two girls and trying to get a quilt finished for Quinn now that she is in a big girl bed.

BRUTUS AND ME
DSCN0686.JPG

This photo was taken at a program given by LEIC-BSC for a boyscout troop in Shelby, Ohio.  Brutus is one of the teaching snakes kept by Kristin Stanford of Dirty Jobs fame.  Brutus lost his tail in a chainsaw accident many years ago and cannot be released back into the wild.  He has gone to countless shows and been held by all age groups because of his gentle nature.

Check out the photo album. I just added pictures 7-03-07
