**ASHLEY NEWS**

I awoke this morning with an email on my phone from ASHLEY!!!! She said they had swim call on her boat yesterday! Her friend on her boat took a pic of her and Ash and emailed it to her family and Ash, who forwarded it to me...here is part of that email...

ME and Ashley........

They call this "Still Beach"...after all of this a day of swimming, they fished then the Chiefs cooked us dinner then they had a display of desserts!

AWWW....don't they look just beautiful!!!

AND....I have MORE great news! She is going to school in Virginia starting Aug. 23rd for two weeks! Some kind of communications school. MY BABY IS COMING HOME!

This is just the best news I've heard in a long time and I plan on enjoying whatever time I get to spend with her with a huge smile on my face and my nose in her hair (it smells like her!! ha)!!

That's it for the moment.

OH...for Darrell in California, Harold is doing pretty good. Caren has been keeping us all up to date on Facebook, which I know you have too. We're just all anxiously awaiting news on how the cat scan went last week. I guess they're all going to church today, so I'll get more info this afternoon.

Have a great day!!
