| 12th November 2008 Jen | - From: Reflections from the road Hey Mary! I haven't been on your blog for a few days...it's great to see what you have! What a wonderful experience! So many people will never be able to do what you are doing, (especially at such an age), so don't worry about independence...I am sure you will appreciate being with your parents this time around. And there is PLENTY of time for you to go out on your own if you so choose. I am so happy you have this time to make memories with your parents...and can't wait to hear more tales from the trip. Miss ya bunches! |

I'm so glad you could share this experience with your parents, although I would have given anything to take this adventure with you. Love you tons! PS Rob is moving to the 6th floor and was asking about you. Quite the relationship you two have developed. He's a keeper, at least, my sister thinks so!! |
| 8th November 2008 KHO | - From: Viva Las Vegas Mary and Inspiration Point...that is worth developing and framing, just as a reminder. |
| 7th November 2008 Jen | - From: I ain't saying she's a golddigger... What fun you must be having! Big anniversary wishes sent to the blushing bride and handsome groom! What a way to celebrate so many years together. Have fun at the zoo, I remember it fondly and still need to develop those pics! Miss ya! |
| 7th November 2008 Mary03 | re Cynthia - From: I ain't saying she's a golddigger... So far so good. We had to change our plan a little bit because of weather. Your compass came in handy...will explain later! Miss you. How's the babe? |

| 6th November 2008 Mary03 | re Debsy marks - From: Viva Las Vegas Hi Deb. Glad your liking my blogs. Its certainly been an interesting trip so far. Wish all of you guys could be here having some wine and watching the sunset with me but alas someone has to take care of the babies! See you soon! |
| 6th November 2008 Mary03 | re Foxy - From: Viva Las Vegas Hi Erin! I miss you as well. I wish I was able to hang in Salem with you also but alas I am here on the West coast and not complaining! I think the weather is better here! Take lots of pictures and I want to hear how you liked it when I get back! See you soon! |
| 6th November 2008 Mary03 | Re DPP - From: Viva Las Vegas Hi Dpp! I did not win big in Vegas...in fact...gasp...I didn't even spend a penny on the penny slots! My mother, however, took home a hefty sum! She has all the luck. At least someone won! There were a bunch of conferences in Vegas and hardly any rooms on the strip so we had to settle for the Tropicana. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone but it was a roof. We were supposed to stay at the Venetian but our plan fell through. Better luck next time. I went to Mandalay Bay though for you! It smells like suntan lotion all through that place! Miss ya! |
| 6th November 2008 Mary03 | re Shauna - From: Canyons Canyons everywhere Let me tell you I was not happy! I kept trying to make it close...not that it did any good! Oh well...mom told me that you had said its cheaper to buy then to fix so I just went ahead and bought a new one. Its only a camera I guess but an unwanted expense. Having fun here. Wish all of you were here with us though! |
| 6th November 2008 deb | - From: Viva Las Vegas Hey Mary Very entertaining. I feel like I'm right there with you. Great pictures too. We miss you can't wait to hear the stories when you get back. |
| 6th November 2008 Erin Fuchs | - From: Viva Las Vegas I'll miss you in Salem this weekend but will be using a few of your recommendations! I love your blog and check it daily. Hurry back! |
| 6th November 2008 DP | buttercup - From: Viva Las Vegas Hey Mary! Did you win big in Vegas? Where are you staying? I can't wait to hear your stories when you get home! |
| 6th November 2008 Shauna | - From: Canyons Canyons everywhere Hi Mar-the same thing happened to my camera but it had been accidentally dropped...that must have been so frustrating that it had to happen at that point. Sounds like you are having a great time...enjoy! :) I wish I was in Vegas right now!!! |
| 6th November 2008 KHO | - From: Canyons Canyons everywhere Beautiful pictures!!! Keep up the good work. One week down, two to go. |
| 6th November 2008 karen Hofferty | City of Sin - From: Viva Las Vegas Have you found mom yet?? did she win big?? Beautiful pictures!! Hope your feeling better and that you all dont get tatoos!! Ya never know!! luv K |
| 5th November 2008 KHO | - From: "If you don't like the weather in Colorado...wait 5 minutes!" Great pictures so far, even the ones from your phone. I hope you are enjoying the silence. Don't be afraid of silence... it helps us hear our own voice, really listen to it. Too many people DON'T know that. I love, love, love that you are doing this. I'm really proud of you Mary. |
| 5th November 2008 KHO | - From: What goes up must come down So far so good! Thank goodness you voted. I am watching results now. Question 1 did NOT pass, lucky for ALL of us. Obama is ahead thus far, again, thank goodness. Thank you for your updates. I can't believe how far you have traveled in such little time. Do you feel rushed? Like you're missing lots of things? Wish you had more time? Try any new foods? Do people rip you apart for your "accent"? Mwah. Miss you |

| 2nd November 2008 Mary03 | re Alyssa - From: What goes up must come down Yup...Rollie has never been to Colorado so he is super excited.
