Wow...we're really getting close to 500 posts! Who would have thought our silly little blog would have lasted this long? :)

So, still no internet? I'm really getting anxious to see more pictures of your little Hazelnut! :)

I guess I should update you on what's been happening here. My vacation starts next week. Well, Saturday at 5 to be technical about it. I can't wait! Nothing really planned, just some much needed time away from work. It's driving me bonkers and I'll have to save it for a phone call because I can't subject your eyes to that much reading!

Doug got some not so good news. He got a letter that basically said, if sales didn't improve his job would be at risk. It's a permanent layoff. Well, you know my husband won't take that laying down, so he's already gotten about 10 applications out and has an interview on Thursday. So we're both really feeling much better.

So, I really say "so" too much!

Did you know that it is only about $200 to travel (round trip) from me to you on Amtrak? It's still a chunk of change, but much better than the $600 it costs to fly. Unfortunately, with Doug's job situation a visit doesn't seem very likely. Although, wouldn't it be fun, when Hazel gets a little older, for the 3 of us to meet up in Chicago for a weekend? Or we could include the husbands too! We should look into that one of these days. Maybe next Spring or something.

Anyhow, I hope you get some internet access soon! Or call me. Talk to you soon!
