I can not tell you how excited I am to have Aaron and his friend Thom coming tomorrow night!!!! I can not wait!!!!!! I am making cookies and going to lay in a bunch of supplies—aka food!!!! Though Aaron told me today that Thom got a package from the US today with Captain Crunch and Honeycomb in it so they are excited!!! It is those little things that you don’t realize you miss until you can’t get them!
Chris is off to the Herbert region today and I think I need to get some kind of map on here so you can follow along on where he is when!!! I will work on that!!! There must be a way to do that and I am going to figure it out, by gum!!!

There–try that!!! Course it doesn’t really show the Herbert River region on it but at least you can see where we are in relationship to some of the towns I have talked about.
Tonight we have dinner out with Chris’ boss and wife and 2 other couples—I have met all but the one couple so it will be a nice evening and at our favorite Chinese restaurant to boot!!! Yum!!! I haven’t seen Lorraine for several weeks so it will be nice to see her and catch up a bit on things. I am looking forward to the night out with my hubby, too! Even if it is business that is okay!
Wanted to also pass along a neat website that Chris and I have been supporting for a year or so. It has been promoted by a lot of celebrities and it is a pretty neat place to help some folks without much means to get businesses going and it is based on the whole microfinance system. I have already had 2 loans repaid and have reinvested the money by loaning it out again to help someone else out. I think the really neat thing is that you can do just a $25 loan and it can make a difference. We have given gift certificates as gifts to each other for occasions and are giving to family and friends also. Check it out—it may be something you are interested in doing also.

Okay enough of the commercials…..just thought I would share a good thing we had found!
Well enough ramblings for one morning—-sending prayers up that my friend Ann gets to feeling better!!! I am sending virtual hugs and chicken noodle soup.
