Mom visits Elyse in Anchorage




Last month I applied for a traveling scholarship to attend a Child and Adults Basic Food Program for Head Start and was awarded it! It paid for food, hotel and my flight. I was also able to visit Elyse & Terence and their new addition Swiper! Yes, he is a ferret. They bought him when he was a tiny baby. I was afraid of it at first but before I left, I wanted one of my own. Swiper fits him perfectly, he sneaks into the toy box and picks out a toy and high tails it under the couch. Elyse thought she had lost her cell phone and she found it under the couch. She is always reminding him, Swiper no swiping! Elyse and I had a great time, I got to watch her play inter mural basketball, we got to go to an indoor football game Alaska Wild vs. Fairbanks Grizzlies. Alaska Wild kicked some butt- 58 to 9. We played Wii until the wee hours of the morning almost daily. I love that system. Trace asked me to bring him back a Wii, but my pocketbook wouldn't let me, but know I know why he wants one so much. I am going to save some cash, that is a must have! I also had been working on a portrait of Elyse and this is the finished project. I found a beautiful frame while in Anchorage that compliments it beautifully. I spent most of my time having Terence run me and Elyse around town trying to fill all the orders for people back in KC. Thanks so much Eddie, Linda and Terence for letting me stay at your house to visit with my baby girl! Ree

For Weezy:
Weezy I love the ferret's name! That's awesome. Oh and we need to catch up and reflect on old times. We need to start doing a sister week and all get together. My mom does it with her sisters every year. Let's plan it! It would be so much fun! I think about you everyday! Love you and miss you!
