These were really good.  We had enough for two days.

I had to say goodbye to some one that I have know for years!!

I just could not put up with all the lies and manipulation.  It is rather sad.  You think that you know some one for so long and it turns out that you don’t know them at all.  I wished her well and I pray that good will help me to move on and possibly make a new friend down the road.

Been playing scrabble with a women that live in Mississippi.

We have had some interesting conversations.  I thank God for new friends and opportunity’s.

Not working until Saturday.

Saw Julie last during Easter.  She was here in town for a wedding.  Hopefully it all went down well. 

Saw a wonderful concert with Rush.  For three guys they sure have sound and can play.  Thinking about getting the DVD.  Jonathan wants to know what type of music I listen to this would be something for him to see.  They sure can play!!!!
