No Rain!!! A beautiful sunny day. Did my "usual" Labor Day tradition....cleaned and spent it with Jerry Lewis. Have watched the MDA telethon as long as I can remember. Googled Jerry... according to most sources, he was born Joseph Levitch on March 16th 1926. I must say, at his age...he's inspiring. I still get choked up at the end of the show, when he sings "You'll Never Walk Alone." No surprise...I get choked up at supermarket openings when they play the national anthem! (It's so embarrassing.)

Happy Labor Day...
Love, Sue

Church this morning. Watched the babes at 9...then services at 11. Pastor Roy's message was wonderful. His visual aides...clay pots. None of them were perfect...yet, all had the potential to be filled.

Spent time this afternoon and evening with girlfriends Cathy and Leslie. Leslie is suffering from macular degeneration.

Tonight we went to see the movie Hairspray. In the same vein as Grease...It is just a romp...
. Just a ton of fun...Loved the story... the music...and the dancing. It makes you want to get up and dance.

Talked with A&B&D. Sis and Aaron were coming back from the Notre Dame game. Aaron is still set to ship out on the 6th. Sis said it was good for them to get away. It gave them a break in the midst of all the focus and prep for Thursday. Bruce was coming back from a day of boating. He said it was just a perfect day in Columbus today. Danamarie, Brian and Buckeye were coming back from a weekend of visiting friends in Cinci and a day on the lake with Brian's parents.

Happy Labor Day!
Love, Sue

You can't imagine the amount of rain we've had. The little lagoon is soooooooo full. Wally must be loving this.

So, it was a good day to read. Finished Coach Dungy's book. It's definitely one that I will go over and over.

Time to snooze. Am up early...watching the little babes at the 9 o'clock service.

Sleep well...

Talked with Playhouse Square today. We've got Babe tickets! I am so excited... We are in row D & E in the Mezzanine. I am sorry that we couldn't get on the floor. The only ones left down there were scattered about here and there. We have 8 in each row, one in front of the other. They are sending them to me down here.

Shirley, and a few others have mentioned that it would be fun to do dinner before the show. Will work on that...I'll keep you posted as we go along.

It was a rainy day on HHI. Mitzi and Opal went to the beauty parlor. Opal must have gotten a snoot full of water during her bath. When I picked up the girls, she rattled like someone in failure. Took her across the hall to their vet. She assessed her and found that her lungs were clear, but she had a bunch of water in her upper airway. She is still hacking and snorting! She's now on an antibiotic and an ace inhibitor. Poor little Ops...she as sweet as can be. I won't be going back to that groomer!

Am watching Larry King. Can it really be 10 years since Diana's death. She once said, "Two things stand like stone. Kindness in anothers trouble, and courage in your own."

Take care...Good Night.
Love, Sue

Just got in from a M&O walk. Wanted you to know...they are doing great! They have scouted out the area and have their little routine down pat. Opal at 14y/o has a spring in her step and trots along like she hasn't in a long time. And of course, Mitzi runs the show! Their little bed is right by two large patio doors that are windows... Just outside the door...what else...a sign that says..."Beware Of Dogs!"

In the evening, they love "couch time", which consists of them sleeping on the other end of the couch while I watch Larry and Anderson. We all should be able to sleep like those two! Just thought you'd like to know.

It was a good day at TFM. I was busy! busy...busy!!! Love that! And had a surprise... took a call...it was Pastor Roy! ordering 44 roses for his 44th anniversary. He picked them up and was pleasantly surprised. That was fun.

Am off tomorrow...a good day to get things caught up at 401...then to the beach with my new book. No plans for the weekend...and actually, that sounds good since I'll be driving to Langley next week.

No new news about Aaron's upcoming departure to the Middle East. Will let you know as soon as I hear anything.

It's a quiet evening with a light sprinkle outside. A little rain would be good. Hopefully, it's stopped raining in Ohio...CNN covered what you got.

It won't be long and I'll be packing my bags to come to Ohio. Til then...take care,
Much love, S.
