News From Gunnison

Hay everyone, it just occured to me thaat we all need to supply eating gear-plates, cups, utensils. for the meal we prepare for the reunion. Isn't that right?
(or each family can make sure they have enough for their family for each meal that week - added by Sally)
We had a neat experience yesterday. The 145th Batallion from our area got home Thursday night. Yesterday they had a parade through Gunnison with the soldiers on the fire engins. Later that evening our neighbor envited us for a bbq honoring three of them, plus one of the boys brother who got home from his mission the same day. They showed slides of their stay in Iraq. They were guaarding the detainees in Buka where Dan is working in the hospital. In fact Neal said Dan will see lots of interesting situaations where the detainees beat up on each other and end up in the hospital.
I'm coming right along with my knee. I feel that I'll be ready for the reunion. I am so glad I did it when I did. Thanks kids for all you do for us. Please pray for Robin to be aable to build up her massage therapy business. I am so happy for her. She is really working hard to get it going.
How can we get new blog info at the top of our mail in bold print so we know that there is new info to read? I have to go looking for mine to see what's new. Same for Sally's family blog.
Love you all. MOM
