Over 600...that's how many times I've wrote to you. Over 600 letters to Heaven. I don't if that makes me 'crazy' or I'm just someone who misses you like CRAZY! Hey hey...guess what!?!?!? The Cubbies just landed JOE MADDON!! Ha, you probably have NO idea who Joe Maddon is, so I'll just say Joe Maddon is to the Cubs who Sparky Anderson was to the Tigers =) Get it, Mmmm-hmmm... I can't wait for the season to start back up again, sooo excited!! How I WISH you were here to watch it with me. I know you weren't a "Cub" fan, but you loved baseball almost as much as I do. We sure would have a blast together going back and fourth! Your Tigers didn't do so hot this year, but they were still fun to watch. Been struggling STILL with these darn PVC's. They come in phases and it's been rough the last few weeks. If I can figure a way to unload some stress...I'm sure the PVC's would unload themselves as well, UGH! Hey, I made some of your bean and ham soup, along with some cornbread. Told Bry it was 'hillbilly' food, haha! I tell ya, it never tasted so good. I ate a HUGE bowl and felt REALLY good afterwards. BIG time energy pick me up =) May fix me another bowl before bed. Mmmmm!!! I love you Mom, sooo happy to have a place like this where I can come and 'chat'. (((((((HUGS))))))) ******KISSES******
