My First Cold in 10 yrs : (

HI y'all! I'm sorry I haven't posted an entry in a few days. I've recieved a few Emails wondering if I'm Okay. . T he plane ride from Tampa to Atlanta was a bit turbulant. And the same just before we landed in Chicago. I had worn jeans and a long sleeved shirt and was dreadfully hot. Nicci met me at

the baggage carousel, just as a piece of lugage passed in front of a girl whose b/f wrote big letters on his luggage..."Will you Marry Me?". Nicci had been waching he girl for quite a while and the girls mother, who was video taping the whole thing, behind Nicci, told her what was going to happen. By the time I got to the carosel, the big event was just happening and Nicci was all teared up. Me, too. I felt like we should clap or something, but everybody stood silently.

Well ... I've had a few problems. On the way to Colorado I started getting a bit hoarse. No big deal. Except my son-in-laws family is rather boisterous. I don't have a loud voice to begin with. So I had to whisper during the week we were there. No one coild hear me unless I whispered in their ear. I felt a bit "mousy" or like a "fly on the wall". We all went the Chrismas Candle Light service and although I know all the songs from my choir days, all I could do is mouth the words : (

When we got to Holyoke, Colorado I found that my Sprint Air Card and Cell phone did not pick up a signal! No only that, but I've been invited up to Montana in March for the house warming of my daughers In-Laws new log cabin. Yahooo!! More traveling...I love it. But, I want to take my laptop. the cabin is huge and about 1 mile out of Yellowstone! The whole family loves to fly fish and what better place could there be? Nicci's FIL and I were sitting a the table after brakfast, playing on our lapops. Some one called me, I grabbed my tea and sloshed it onto my keyboard! For days I couldn't type and my puter occasionally goes beserk : ( Righ now I can ype bu he "t" and the number "five" does work. do you realize how many times we use "t" in a sentence? I'm felling prey smug righ now...I write "t" on an empy Email , copy and paste & Voila! I've got a 'T'. More news, he hoarsenes has developed ino a full blown head and chest cold. It may even be aninner ear infecion, I am sooo very dizzy. Funny thing is I can ride in the car with no problem. Get back to the aparment and I have to lay my head down I am so darn dizzy. Sunday, the 23rd, we set out for Colorado. The wind was gusing up o 60 mph and I am glad Eric was driving. Beween Davenport, Iowa & DesMoines I counted 164 cars and big rig trucks off the highway. Some flipped over, others in ditches. That in itself was disurbing. Maybe tomorrow my 't' and will work and I'll be back in business. OH, just to let you know I have had to turn off almost all Entry Alerts ... I'll be back as soon as I can, I promise!
