We just returned from St. Louis, Nick, Allison, Nayeli and Karyna are all well. A little boy is due near the end of April, they won't tell us his name-I don't think it will be Halsey. They are hoping Nayeli gets picked for a highly rated school, otherwise they will have to move because the city schools are not very good. It was great seeing thm all, the girls are growing so fast. I had a good time with Nick, besides having someone to match wits with, we had time for some stronger dialogue and I love asking Nick questions and getting his view point.Even though we don't always agree, I always respect him. He respects me too even though he would never admit it! It came to me on the way home that Iam the most intelligent, interesting, witty, verbally, strong,conciencious good looking and modest person I know. I had a rough weekend due to a bad Friday the 13th that I won't go into. Did I ever mention my grandkids? They are all so unique, gorgeous, independent, yet all mine! An atheius(?) would even call them a blessing. I got Barb flowers and made her a special bread for Valentines Day and she got me a new CD player? Do you know which grandkid I like best? All of them!! Bye for now--Bud and Max

Not much

Went to another of my social events-another doctors appt. After an hour, this doc. referred me to another doc. I need lab work too, but I'll get that tomorrow, can't have too much excitement in one day.. In the morning Jack and I are going to Fowlerville Farms for breakfast with Ron's brother and Jack's other brother ( unfortunately mine too). They have great honey-butter to put on anything, or just lick the knife! Kalli-Beth wasn't quite herself for her birthday, but is getting back to her sweet adorable self and getting into everything. Austy-McGosty misses his friend Charley, but he is great at making friends. He's growing up way too fast! I hope he always keeps his cowlick in front. Barb and I are heading for a short 4 day trip to St. Louis to see Nick, Ally, Nayeli, and Karyna. They grow so much when we see them ouly every 2-4 months. It still hasn't totally sunk in yet that a litle boy is coming soon! Austy will finally have a boy cousin on ouir side. We went down to Katie and Ricks, so Rick could do church stuff and Katie could show some girls how to play hoops. I so miss the days when my girls were awesome playing the point. Reagan and I had a blast, I can't believe she knows all her states, where they are and can read their capitals on the map. Kennedy is one smiley little girl and loves to try and get Reagans toys, when she has them. Does anybody else love their grandkids like we do and think they are the most precious blessings God has given us?
When we get back I have a few tests, then a bunch of doctor's appt's on the horizen. It seems like I'm back to, before I get out of bed each morning I do a quick body check to see what new isn't working! I'm not real impressed with Obama, his idea of change is filling all his cabinet with " Professional Polititions", except for the ones who " accidently" forgot to pay their taxes. Former governor of Illinois was heading to Washington because he heard there were some Cabinet openings. If we the people don't take our country back and go back to the song "We're proud to be Americans" and start solving our problems foremost, we are headed for a long, tough time. All we need is the smarts and guts to use the equipment we have to shut down our borders, get rid of Al-queida and the Taliban with little loss of life. Oh well.
Ireally wasn't much interested in the Superbowl,but Marley and me was pretty good, except that Jennifer Aniston can't act. The real sad part so reminded me of Gus and Hobbes. I hope it's warm in St. Louis. TTFN
