It's going to be most interesting for us , to learn about your new placement next week and I'm wondering why they chose to give you those names,and do they have any significant meanings? The nursing home next door to the hospital sounds interesting too, with it's chickens and cows!

Hey Catherine!

I told Abby your new name and her response was " why does she want to change her name???"
She gets on the bus tomorrow for her first day of FULL DAY school! Yeah, grade 1 for the pocketbook!
We saw a black bear just down the road from here today, the girls got a kick out of that, so close to home.
Have a good move tomorrow, talk to you later,

Jade's Dad here. Just to let you know that you are one special person. I do not think that even in my wild youth I could do what you are doing now.

My hat is off to you. Love to read your exploits.

Love
"Dad" Tom
