OK, I think I'm a little obsessive with blogging. Oh well, it will be interesting to look over old posts months down the road and see what develops, what lessons we've learned, and what memories we've made. Erica visited today, and I'm so happy for her that she sold her trailer and is planning to marry J in June. They are very happy together, and she deserves that. She bought me a sweet Bob Marley shirt. I'll be wearing it at the Public Property show for Marley's birthday this Saturday. Chloe sold a few more boxes of Girl Scout cookies before she turns in her order tomorrow. She is very brave and mature when talking to our friends. She has better communication skills than many teenagers and adults that I know. The sun was shining brighter than it has for months today. We've been doing a lot of fun indoor activities like visiting the Botanical Center and the Butterfly Garden, but it will be nice when it warms up, and we can go to the zoo and the park. John and TJ might participate in a benefit ice fishing tournament in Victor, IA this Saturday. I am watching the Grammy Awards, and WyClef Jean just gave a shout-out in Creole to all the Haitians trying to recover from the earthquake. I wander if many people in the Dominican Republic speak Creole. I may be going there this summer to take some musical instruments and art supplies to a school that my friend Robin's new husband, Alberto Rivas, opened. I pray for Sativa's skin, for the missing Iowas State college student, Jon Lacina, and his family, for our friends, Matt and Chauncy, and that we all continue to praise Him even through the storms.
