Hey guys!!!!!! ((((((hugs))))))) I missed you guy and thought of you lots. I waved in the direction of Virginia while flying over New York!

It is nice to be home even though I don?t want to be home! I LOVE it back there! It is so incredible beautiful. All I missed was my bed, my Daddy, you guys, and my computer, otherwise I was set.

The trip was ok; I was having some hard times physical and emotional/mental. Not for my grandma as much as Betsy. She was afoul! The past few times I have been with her she is weird but I thought she was just busy or whatever, but after this trip I know that what I am seeing is the new and not improved Betsy and it sucks. I used to be able to talk about my feelings and carry on a adult conversation but not now, she treats me like I am 2 and just pain she "has to" deal with. She tries to be my mom by ordering me around; she will interrupt me and flat out ignore me. Ok, that was the depressing part and I rambled to long on that, sorry. We did have some good times too though; I will give her that (this isn?t all coming from the trip, this has been awhile)

The day we got there my mom went to take a nap but Bets and I were not sleepy so we were gonna just go drive and see if we would get lost, lol. I mentioned this to my mom in front of my aunt and she was like oh you have to go to the place. So we got directions and figured maybe we would go there. The directions said that town was on exit 9 (back east they don?t have street name exits, well, they do but on the highways/freeways the exits are #) and my Aunt?s house is off exit 14 or something so one would figure 8 would be close, right? Nope! There is 12-18 miles between EACH exit! Plus Betsy was hungry and all she would eat is McD?s, well in the little towns back there they don?t have chain food places and such so we drive around at almost every exit trying tofind one. Once we finally got to the nice little town of Stowe (without the McD?s trip it took a hour to get there) (we wanted to shop) Betsy wouldn?t stop at stores cause she would have to lift my chair in and out too much so we could only go to a store that had stores right next to it, which we found none of course. We kept driving and found a McD?s!!!! While buying her food she found this map thing of the town that shows where the stores are and the hotels (funny thing was when we took our vacation back there we stayed in this town) so we found the little strip malls and went shopping there and got some cute stuff! We did more shopping om the other days too.

My Aunt Trudy invited her to see her new house. It is AWESOME!!! Her backyard is massive and at the end of the yard is brook and she has a hammock on the trees RIGHT next to the water! It was so incredible peaceful.

My babies remembered me. John ran straight too me and attached himself to my leg for quiet some time, which of course thrilled me. I was worried they wouldn?t know who I was. It was weird/neat to hear him and Gina talk! I mean, you can have a conversation with them, well, with John since Gina is a little slower then John from all the drugs and stuff her mom drank while pregent. All Gina would say to me when she saw me (well not every time buy ya know)"You sick" *add very concerned face features "why you sick?" "You body hurt right now?" "Why" *five minutes later* "Body still hurt?" etc It was so cute!

The services went off great! Betsy?s singing was the hit of the service! Everyone was coming to her telling what a great job she did, which she did. All of the kids(my aunts and fam?s) sang my grandma?s favorite song with only one rehearsal and they sounded soo great!.

Our last night there my mom invited my Aunt Peggy (we stayed at her house) in to play some little puzzles we had brought. We did that and then stayed up talking for quite some time. Other then the first day we were there I have never really sat down and talked with her. So I was glad I had both chances to visit and get to know her, she is a neat person.

**This is almost over**

On the last day Mom wanted to spend some alone time with her dad. So the plan was Betsy?s and I would drop her off where he lives and we would go shopping and have lunch or whatever. My aunt called him and told him our plan and he was all, But I didn?t get to see Anna at all on this trip. I got to talk to Betsy and now Connie but not Anna. Could you please ask her to come visit too? Isn?t that so sweet? So we dropped mom off and then went to the mall and got some good deals on stuff and then we went and ate. I walked in to where we were eating since it is hard with the chair and once I get there I get out of the chair and into the seat. Betsy and I were laughing cause they seated us at the farthest you could sit in the place! Later I dropped my money into my ice cream.. Betsy got a kick out of that. Betsy left the ER brake on in the car as we drove on the freeway to my grandpa?s place..opps! We spent our time with him looking at really old pictures and told us stories of all the people in the pictures. It was a really nice time, other then the fact I could NOT stay awake! When we left I went to give him a hug and he would not let go! And after he did I went to get in my chair and he grabbed my hand and held it tight until the last possible second. He has never done that, I mean all we ever did was lightly hug, so that was special. It was hard for my mom to leave him in the place he is. He is only there cause he that is where my grandma needed to me. I mean, it isn?t a convalescent home. It is a retirement community. They have apartment and things but the staff will clean and cook and o laundry. Mom is annoyed cause none of the fam members back there haven?t invited him to stay with them.

Just a glimpse of my tiredness. on Thursday I went to sleep at 6pm and woke up at 10am(only cause mom woke me up.

Okk, this got long, hehe sorry. I may not be on the next few days cause I am gonna crash and I already have started =(

J-Skee I am sorry that things aren?t working out. As far as the drinking, I shall say ditto to Silver. I also liked her idea of moving home for a few days. I had thought of that also but never remembered to mention in, lol. I am very glad that C-Skee did that stuff for you! I am glad she did since I forgot to do that before I left, lol My post below was kinda confusing but what I was saying is we want, and are going to, help pay your airplane tixs. This airline we flew on was WONDERFULL! They are just starting up and are great. Tix were only 374 round trip. Silver I hope you are feeling better

I love you guys tons and so sorry this long!
