Holiday Update

Hi everyone -- Sorry to keep you waiting, I've been on my trip back to Kansas City and Des Moines to see family over the 4th of July. I don't have my camera cable so you'll all just have to be patient. Friday and Saturday I was in KC for my brother's BBQ contest. And when I say it was hot, that really doesn't do it justice. It was in the nineties, but the humidity was so high, your skin didn't stick to itself, it slid against itself because it was WET. I spent most of my time trying to make sure Logan stayed as comfortable as possible, mostly stripped to the shorts, playing in a tub of water! Congrats to my brother, who wasn't too excited with his score but nevertheless showed the rest of us what it takes to cook like a pro.

I've been in Des Moines since Sunday, and have seen Grandma, Grandpa and Wade. Dave and Ada are in town too. Today Dave and I had a mini-date, we went to see Public Enemies and it was terrific. How can you miss with Michael Mann, Johnny Depp and Christian Bale? I have to tell you, I'm not always a big Johnny Depp fan but this man makes a beautiful gangster.

Finally, one of the vacation tidbits I've been enjoying most of all is a new computer game addiction. A friend actually introduced me to the game on her iTouch, and I found it on Facebook too. It's a word game called Scramble, you have got to try this sucker, it's addictive.
