Ok I can't even believe that the month is on its way out.
Ihad the best Valentines week. I invited the boys and their girlfriends over for a fancy dinner party. I had everything so pretty. Candles everywhere, flowers, the table was gorgeous. I served and the neighbors across the street who are good friends with tthe boys also came to dinner and Molllie and I watched their little 10 month old. It was one of those evenings that you look at your kids and say wow what neat people. Even Michael the next day said mom that was 10 times better then I thought it would be. I knew you would do a nice dinner but it was all so perfect. Yeah, it is nice when things turn out special. Valentines day is a favorite of mine. Mollie hates it she says it is so stupid that everyone tries to do something on just this one day. i told her I love it because maybe some wouldnt get the note or card or take the time to do that speical thing. She said sucks for them. I love that girl.
We are trying to get things ready for Jesses wedding. I finally got the suites back from being altered. I had to call and have them let Samuels out one more inch and it still just fit perfect. I can't believe how big he is getting. He is growing so fast. Gaining weight. He grew totally out of all clothes. He is so funny. Never asks for a thing. When the dinner party was almost starting he told me he had nothing to wear. He called Michael who brought a shirt for him but no pants. I wantched him try and get into his jeans, too funny. Michael and Brandon came all starched and ties. They looked so handsome. Samuel squeezed into the jeans and wore Michael s shirt. I took him shopping on Sat. He got new jeans shirts etc. I couldn't believe that he was in a 36x34.
I had a colonoscopy on Wed. I had a nother polip. That is why you have them done. What a great way to get rid of the cancer stuff before it is a problem.


NOw FOr the earth shattering news. Yes I reconciled. I did I really did. Don was precious. I texted him and told him yes I really had done it, all by myself. i even liked it. I texted hours later and told him that I did my family account too. His response was great how does Sat sound for me to come over. Ha he thought I had made a mess and sure enough it was just right. he told me that Kari came up to him at church and said Peggy is spreading rumors that she reconciled is that the truth, she was laughing. I really am so proud of myself. I helped my friend Angela move for like 11 hours last sat and this sat I just helped unpack some and hang pictures. I really a pretty goo with a screw gun. I can hear Mike say well I would hope so.
One thing I am not doing very well is having the two kids help with things. I feel like I just don't have the energy to keep on keeping up with stuff. Too big right now. I usually feel so excited about the yard and this time I am having anxiety of all the work to do. I am trying to give it up and realize all doesn't have to be just so so.
I do ask for prayers for Samuel and scholorship for college. Ihave a hard time with the paper work and haven't done as good a job as I did with Brandon. This week is the deadline. He also the doctor thinks has a hair line fracture to his left leg. It has been bothering him for quit a while, he kept saying oh it was shin splints. Maybe so but now it is worse so he is so upset becasue Lacrosse starts for his senior year. Today he is going to have the x-ray.
I think maybe the waether is giving me a hard time because Mike is the one I would tell that the robins are out and come a=nd look at my daphadiles. He would always go so willingly, walking around the yard with me. I miss his gorgeous smile and his hug. Wow what I would give for him to hug me. Brandon was really sick this weekend and Michael worked alot. I think they are doing well in school. I say I would liek to be a mouse in there home to see how they get along but really that is just a stupid expression. I would pobably just pass out.
Friday night some girlfriends had a surprise birthday party for me. I had no idea. kari had said she would like to take me to dinner for my birthday. i thought wow we don't get to go out with each other and that will be so nice. She stopped at a friend of ours and said she had to drop off a dish for a funraiser. It was the strangest thing to have them there and for me. it was so wonderful. It was so long since myu birthday that I didn't even think of anything but dinner. Fun memories.
I still would love if you have a email to send me a shout. phope@sbcglobal.net I lost the contacts that I had. They are hidding somewhere in my computer.
Brett came and picked up my computer stuff that was left around. I had no idea all those pieces gave me such grief but I was so glad they were not in my office this morning. Make a wonderful day, hug, hug, kiss, kiss your family. Say the words that seem so hard to get out. I have times I think if I could just tell him how grateful that he did our money.
One thing I did learn, Don would say how do you get all the numbers to the check out of order. (You see I use whatever check is near and if not near I get another one. What is the big deal?) Oh I will tell you no wonder he gets frustrated when he does the books. Do you know how long it takes to figure it all out when there is no order? I do, I apologized to him.

Do you know he has been faithful to me for 20 months. If you are working with someone and helping someone don't give up on them. They will get it in time. (I hope I got it)

Hi, Peg, I'm going to send you an email so you'll have our email address, but I had to tell you I've caught up with you! I've had computer crashes, too, so we've lost a lot of communications, and I'd lost your blog. I'll have it when I get home.


We're at Doris' and Jerry's house and I found you on their computer. I love finding you and seeing your wonderful stories!

I had my routine check-ups today with the oncologist and the radiologist. The radiologist doesn't want to see me for another year and the oncologist will wait 6 months because they say I'm doing very well. Praise God! We're going home in the morning.

Doris and Jerry are great and you'd be so proud of Gregg and Brett and their families! Their wives are precious, as are their sons.


Love,

Aunt Jo
