Yes, chérie, it has been busyness... Nothing terribly unusual going on, but a full to-do list. Since there hasn't been anything really in terms of activities or news, I didn't have anything to contribute. And when I feel like blogging, I do it on mine, and you already read that, so I figure you're in the know. Sooo, you sound like me--I'm always very interested in hearing from you guys because you all do lots of activities and have new news! I'm going to Clinks today with Betsy & Kymm for Betsy's birthday. Subbed yesterday and been grading senior papers the last two weeks. Planted tomatoes & a few flowers. None of that is really very interesting...
Glenice, you must surely have a plateful with new "family" to care for in addition to your already full days. We do thank you sooo much for taking the time to blog. We consider it truly a lovely gift. And Rosie, you might not know how to decide what to write about, but that's okay. We hope you'll write when you do...
Praying for Tina & Chelsea, hoping all's well halfway around the world.
Cheryl, thank you for your own update, and for wanting us, for asking for us. I feel really loved knowing you have eyes on us. I know this is a small offering, but I hope it's a step up from nothing at all. I love you guys. XO
Ya-Ya Connection
To the One Who made friendship,
who launched this ship of friends,
may we bless You...

YaYa's! Where Are You??
No posts! No comments for over a week! Hurrifically busy? Bummer.
I am fortunate enough to be having car trouble with 2 of our 3 cars, so that leaves me mostly grounded. Which works since I am trying to get all the pots planted cuz I bought bunches from the girls basketball team and they are getting leggy. I even took the hedge trimmer to the flats a week ago in an effort to mass trim them! Kinda look chewed up now, but very much alive.
For Mother's Day, from the kids I got $ to use to hire someone to do my spring cleaning. (I am such a bad housewife - I detest cleaning.) Now that I have the cash in my hot little hands, I am thinking up other uses for it. Molly & Annie also volunteered to help me do the pots, so we are going to try to knock that out this Sunday. On Monday I fly to Portland and then drive to the ocean for 3 days with Pam, so must get the tunias in the dirt!
Rick also bought me a gold bracelet. Since he started this jewelry thing I am really into bling.
I visited Mae last week and really whined & cried at her about my neck. Of course, she bathed me in the Word and prayer and I left feeling oh, so much better. We must try a field trip there. It's hard to share each other when we get so little YaYa time, but it is very much worth it, even if we don't sense the full value at the time. Do you realize how much she prays for you? All the more after we have visited.
How does your Wednesday, May 28th look? It was a date Tina suggested before leaving for Russia. It would be a time at her house doing last minute wedding stuff and would be a blessing to her, I'm sure.
Hope to be seeing you on the blog soon. I check every day & go away sad.

Checking Out
My dear sweet sister yayas
I'm leaving on a jet plane
And I do plan on being back again.
We leave Spokane at 8
Then at the Denver airport we wait.
That night around 6 we go
Traveling in the dark always seems slow.
Maybe I'll be able to sleep
Unless of course there is someone to meet.
I'll miss you but I know I'm loved
Prayed for to our Father above.
I carry you in my heart
Cause' we've been yayas from the start.
Love, Tina

Checkin' in
I sure do love this blog. If I don't see you or talk to you, I'm still not out of touch. Thanks Glenice and Cyndi! And of course I see Tina almost daily, so if Glenice keeps bits in about Rosie, my circle rotates.
Very bad neck injection experience. Won't be going back. Only option left is acupuncture and have mixed reports about that. We shall see.
Made a trip to Wenatchee for baseball and got to see my brother for ten minutes. He looks great. Boys played two games and won them both, coming from behind. Kyle hit a home run!! Only his second ever (in a game). That broke it open and we scored 9 runs in one inning. Very much fun.
My yard is shaping up. Goodness, I love doing that.
I have us on the calendar for Tuesday the 20th but I am running away from home with Pam, so can we reschedule?
Tina's here. Gotta walk. Later.

what up...
Glenice! SO great to know what you’re up to and how you’re doing. Hearing about the team dinner, the Studabakers, Jacob—wonderful! I didn’t know she had only one tooth in front... must be weird to bite. I’ll be looking forward to seeing if you have a different opinion of her while Jim’s gone! Funny you!
The password on your gmail account is probably the same one for your Juno account? I looked away when you entered it when I set up the account, so I don’t know what it is. Have you tried that one? If you don’t remember your password, you can click on the blue link below the signin box that says “I cannot access my account.” It’ll take you to the password recovery page where you can click on links that’ll send your password in an email to your Juno account, where you can retrieve it there. If it’s all too complicated, let me know, and we’ll figure out another way. There’s always a way!
No, Brett doesn’t get to come home for Ryan’s graduation. He’s leaving for China on the 21st for six weeks and will be home July 5 for four weeks—WOOT! Anything y’all want in China…?
I love soccer game days--you blog! I really love that. Thank you so much for that.
The kids & I got back at 5 a.m. yesterday from the “Acquire the Fire” weekend in Tacoma with the youth group. We gave reports en masse of our weekend to the church, and then we came home and packed up all the stuff this 10 yr old boy had at our house for the little-over-a-week that he was with us. He’s on to a home that will keep him permanently now, which is a beautiful answer to prayer.
Went to visit Jamara last weekend, and that was a hoot. As beautiful & forthcoming as ever. She continues to have a positive, optimistic, upward facing attitude, even inside the pain, discomfort, and unpredictability of this condition. She amazes me, to the glory of God. †
Off to do laundry, one of my favorite jobs. Love you guys! Soli Deo Gloria!

is it really spring?
Well here I am again waiting for the soccer game to start. So I'll catch ya up on the scoop. We had the team dinner last night and we had about 20 people: players and parents (Rosie and Jamara too (happy face). I had a great time and I know James did too because he pulled me aside twice and gave me a hug and said thank you! Sometimes we can't please our kids so when we do it goes all the way to the bone. The happy bone. No the coach did not show up. Not even a call. But we did end up inviting the varsity too because this weekend is so busy with the prom and livestock show that the available numbers were limited. Great bunch of kids!
The studabakers are doing well. The have adjusted amazingly well. I think Jim is happy to be free from all of the burden. I'll take her shopping with me. Or anything I do which does not require much of her. Monday we'll get her hair permed. Then she will look pretty. If only we can get her to go to the dentist so she can have more than one tooth in the front. She is doing well also. Jim took her to town for awhile and when they went to their home she wanted to know whom the house belonged to. WOW. I was shocked because she lived there since 1946. She likes to pick flowers and play with stuffed animals. Cute. Next week Jim will be leaving for California for 10 -14 days. By then I should have another opinion of her.
James has moved up to the Varsity for the playoffs. Don't really know if they'll play him but at least they will let him bench sit. He is ready of soccer to be over. I am not. I wished I could coach. But I do believe my plate is full right now.
Cyndi: I can't remember my pass word to the account you set up for me on gmail. I guess if ya don't use it ya lose it. It's gone.
So Tina are you ready for Russia? Is Russia ready for you?
Cheryl: Have you found out any thing from the tests?
Rosie: Thanks for coming over for the party and bringing Jamara. Some day I will bring Dot over and we'll do some yard work. She loves picking up pine needles and cones.
The other day Jacob's car died. He is now in the store for a car. Does anyone know of a car for sale? My grandma sold her car one month too early. This is a learning experience for him. Right now he is borrowing our van. He needs to find a car by the end of May.
Cyndi: Does Brett get to come home for Ryan's graduation? I hope so.
This computer said I better sign off. Love you. Till the next soccer game. TTFN
