MAIL MIX-UP

It was really strange. I had two letters sent to me by the same mail order catalog. Both letters stated that the order I placed was not available. Problem you ask? I never ordered anything from this particular company. Both checks were sent back to me. One check was for grandma who has the same name as I do but the address is totally different. The other check was to another woman who lives way down in Arkansas. The company itself is located in Pennsylvania. A call was put into Grandma and the other woman. Go figure!

FUNFILLED SUNDAY

Today started off with going to the Seattle Culture Center for our monthly World Peace Prayer meeting. While there Mimi got the chance to play with all of her friends Sara, Ling Ling, Alex, Tasha and Naira. They always have way to much fun all the time. She had so much fun that she did not want to come home but we had plans to meet with Rhonda and the girls in the afternoon.
However I received a phone call from Rhonda and found out that she and the girls were at the McDonald's by the gym. She was having lunch with a couple of other lady friends from her church and since we were on our way home and we have to pass by that very McDonald's, we stopped there instead. Mimi was ecstatic. This is the McDonald's that has been closed for several months for renovation meanning they put in a brand spanking new playset and she has been dying to try it out. We all had a very good time together catching up on all of the latest gossip while the kids played on the playset in the next room. Finally it was time to head for home however Thelma and Louise always have way to much fun together. So much so that Elsie did not want to go home. So instead she came home with us for several more hours. I took this picture so that you could see how much Mimi has grown since we moved up here. When we first moved in, you could not see her head over the banister and now look how much the girl has grown. Plus they are standing flat on the ground, no tippy toeing. Of course when I brought Elsie home, Mimi tagged along and both girls cooked up a plan to play together even longer. They figured that if they got out of the car real fast, they could race upstairs to Elsie's room without me knowing it. Mimi asked on the way "Mom, you're going to stay and talk with Rhonda for a while aren't cha?" Hint, hint. We did stay for about 30 minutes or so. By 7:30 p.m. it really was time to go. By 9, the girl was passed out cold.

HOME MEET

Wasn't quite sure if Mimi would be ready in time to particpate in the gymnastic meet but apparently I guess she is. The girl didn't do to bad for someone who was out of the picture for a couple of months and only been back in the gym for 2 weeks (total of 4 practice days). What was even more surprising was the fact that she won the raffle basket that she wanted. Tonight she will go next door to Micah's 5th birthday party. All in all the girl had a super fantastic day.

NEW LEO

Mimi is sporting the new leo all of the team members get this year. It comes with the hair doo dad and biker shorts. You can't tell from this picture that the leo, shorts and hair doo dad is SUPER shiny. Tomorrow is her first competition of the season. Since her heel is still a smidgen sensitive, Mimi will only compete in the double mini and trampoline and not any of the floor exercises. We wish her all the best.

THE SWINGING ARM

This is a new place that recently opened with new owners. We stopped
by to try it out. The food was pretty good but I believe they are
pricey for a burger, pizza and one soda. I think it will be a while if
we go back again. For $30.00, we get better food at Red Robin IMHO.

PASS-A-PORT

That's how the girl pronounces it. Here we stand at the Black Diamond
City Hall. How many times I pass by it and never noticed it was here
before. Right across Mama Paserrelli's on our way to Nathan's house.

My wife talked to Norman today. He expects Group 123 to receive their referrals in late February, early March. He said our group (Group 124) will probably receive our referrals in late June or early July. He also said there were still eight families in Group 124. I just wish I knew who they were. I haven't seen anyone on here from Group 124 in over two years.
