 Marianne was kind enough to take Alec Ray Man Dan & Dad to the Veteran's museum

What a week we were also at the imaginarium & more ice skating but I cant find the cord I need for those pictures.  It was a fabulous week ending with ice cream at Dairy queen

Visit with Rick

 Ray man and his ever loyal Anna and patches

 Not much has changed.  He is still writing his life story.  He can not move forward til he gets it done.  Prayers that this will work would be greatly appreciated.  I wish he would try harder to see the damage he has done.  So we can begin to repair.  But alas that has not happened.  He is devoid of any emotion (including fear) as he describes what he has done.  I'm still trying to accept 8 victims were hurt.  Not to mention the theft, I thought I had been doing good but I'm finding a whole lot more was stolen then I ever imagined.

 But alas we love him, so we continue to pray and visit every 2 weeks.  I've learned it cant all be about saving Rick I have to boys dying for attention.  So they to need to be just as important.  In the words of lil Dan " why is the one who always try to get it right ignored.

My new Monte Carlo 1974

 What a sweet ride.  350 small block.

 I'll have to get use to a bench seat.

It even has a tach!!!!!

Thanks Dan & The boys!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fun in the Snow

These crazy boys are roller blading in the snow and ice.  Dan has only been off crutches for a week due to his fractured tail bone.  He was told no snow boarding, no skateboarding, so instead he went roller blading.  I think he missed the point the Dr. was trying to make.  But it was fun to see them giggling, having a great time.

Ray Man's new look ~ so stylin!  True to form no smile.  What a stinker.

My new look.
