I'm Baaaaack!

[Guest guest]

I'm glad you had a great time, Jo. I know exactly what you mean about the

flowers that grow wild here but require a ton of nurture back in the States.

And, I laughed right out loud about your ice comment-I know exactly what you

mean. Here in the UK the idea of an iced drink means TWO ice cubes in a

glass. At TESCO and several other supermarkets, the ice cube section was

always empty.

Welcome home, my friend.

I missed you!

P.S Planning a trip to Dallas in the next 6 months. Maybe stopping in BF

for some security patrolling? Tell Joe to warm up that jet-ski!

Tell Joe to warm up that jet-ski!

==============================

Uh--oh...Joe sold the Jet skies. But we can come up with some other

trouble to get into. Excited at the possibility to see ya soon.

Try not to worry about the genetic testing results...the odds are way,

way in your favor. Heck, I'm already thinking of possible 'K' names

for your baby. That way you, and baby can all share the same

monogrammed towels...lol

names in the near future!!!!!!

I am crushed by the sale of the jet-ski's. What will I use his friendship

for now? Watching that huge...erm...tv?

P.S and I love that blanket you have us for the wedding. It is our

favourite. We sleep with it on top of our blankets every night!

I guess I'm just going to have to wait to suggest Kilroy for a boy and

Kiwi for a girls name.
