The colours of fall are upon us here and the mutated pigeons are white over there. Alicia your ear rings look absolutley breath-taking. where did you get them? Oh and also was Ross alittle jealous while taking the picture of David's and you? Looks like your time is splended just splended. Hope everyone stays in good health. Ross and Alicia, It looks like you are having a wonderful time over there. Did the both of you enjoy Italy? While in Florence did you take some time to gaze upon the Gates of Paradise or wander through the Galleria dell'Accademia? It looks like Greece was very enjoyable as well. Alicia - I really enjoyed the "Gingerbread Woman" photo! Were those lovely earrings made by Ross? Ross - Have you been getting some sun or is the wine getting to you in some of these photos? Have you both been making some new jewelry on this trip? You are both in our thoughts and we can't wait to have you over for a visit! We're anxious to hear more about your trip and to spend some time with the both of you. We've got our new pup Wyatt for the both of you to meet as well. Cleo sends a high five. Stay well, Kelly. |

| 15th October 2007 Ross's Mom | greece sounds great - From: Sorry for the lack of blogs lately... You two certainly sound like you are having fun. Heading to greece for a little sun and relaxation is what you need on a holiday. Glad you got the see the David. Cities are not really your thing Ross so enjoy them for a little then head for the hills. We're fine. Craig just had his AIC done and it has dropped dramatically, so he is on the right track again. We had a visit to the emerg. for an IV for really low sugars that would not come up but now he seems to be where he should be. Some fine tuning will help but he has worked hard. Ist hockey game was a tie. Ado's first rugby game was a loss. Motor home is now parked at cabin. So we are making slow progress and changes too. take care, enjoy the sights and new people you meet. Miss you. Lots of love MOM> |
