I received a surprising email from my mother recently where she sent me the "2008 edition of Getting to Know Your Friends". She filled it all out and I have to send it back.

Just FYI, I always read your blog, I've subscribed to it, so never fear, you'll always have me as a steady audience.
I'm excited to hear you're coming back to Utah this summer for a little bit--yeah! I'm currently stressed, unappreciated, overlooked, and failing at most everything. Don't feel bad, it's just the truth. My life is headed nowhere quickly and I've got nothing to show for it. Yikes.
On to happier subjects, I was sad to read about your lack of singing, but I've noticed the same thing for me to. Even when I'm in the car alone, I don't sing anymore. Maybe I've become too self-conscious, or I don't want to wake other people while I'm in the shower, or because my mind is always busy doing other things. It's sad when we grow up and realize growing up is not as fun as we thought it would be as kids.
You're precious. I love you and miss you.
Thanks so much Jackie. Thanks for reading my blog and for saying nice things. You're my favorite. We should talk sometime (you know the old-fashioned way, on the phone). I'm so sorry to hear you're having a hard time. If anybody can overcome it, you can. You've always amazed me that way.
Hey, your place of retirement sounds exactly like our place of retirement! Maybe we can work something out! Also, I loved your fear - chickens - hahahaha! Love you and keep the good blogs comin'!
