Great day yesterday!

It was wonderful meeting Anthony

and using my fledgling skills to

communicate with him.  He seemed

excited that I was learning.  Not once

did he appear confused by what

I was saying, or look to Cody for

an explanation.  Cody doesn't know

as much sign as me, but they have

developed a way of communicating.

I had to look at Cody a few times, though, 

when they started talking computers!

They both like to build them and 

Anthony showed me one that he

built.  It was very cool, the

case was clear so you could

see the inside.   He brought his

little 3 year old boy, Noah.  He was

such a good little boy, but at the

end got a little restless, naturally.

I signed bored to him (he is

learning a little bit) which is the

finger on the side of the nose.  He

didn't quite see what we were doing and

put his finger IN his nose.  Of course,

that made us all laugh, so he just kept

doing that even though his dad even

placed his finger in the right place.

Such a cutie!

Unfortunately, I have occasion to make

yet another sympathy card.  LuAnn, after

losing husband, Dennis, only 5 months 

ago, lost her oldest friend to a massive

heart attack yesterday.  She was only

48.  No warning or anything.  No heart

problems that anyone knew of.  Pam 

was best friends with this lady's daughter,

so naturally, she was like a second

mother to Pam.  It's been difficult for them.

 It's rainy and dreary out today.  I love

days like that, but would like

thunderstorms better!  But what

it signals to me is that Spring is here!

I've seen it snow in April, though,

so I'm not holding my breath just

yet, but one can hope, right?!
