Off to explore....

And go crazier than I already am!!!!!

Camp is tomorrow!!!!! And I'm there for 10 WHOLE days!!!!!!! No cell phones, no internet - it's gonna be great!!!!!!!

So I will be out of touch for those 10 days, no blogging and no cell phone reception. If you really need to get a hold of me, call my house.

I really should blog something about Daddy . . . but I just feel peaceful about it and am so glad that he's not in pain and uncomfortable anymore. Maybe when I get back I'll be able to really blog something about it. I'll try, I can guarantee that I will write about it at camp, so maybe I'll blog that when I get back.

Love to all:

Daddy

In Loving Memory of Garry F. Rothchild

Born: September 19, 1939 Mankato, Kansas

Entered to rest: June 10, 2006 Biggs, California

He is survived by his wife and his five daughters and numerous friends as well as 6 siblings and countless nieces and nephews.


"It well may be, that we will never meet again, in this lifetime
So let me say before we part
So much of me, is made of what I learned from you,
You’ll be with me, like a handprint on my heart
And now whatever way our stories end
I know you have re-written mine, by being my friend…
Who can say if I’ve been changed for the better?
But because I knew you, I have been changed for good."

Updates of a general nature...

Hello folks!!! I have good news!!!!! I finished the back room!!!!!!! That's right!!! Last week we (Rebecca and I) got it all cleaned out and cleaned up, then over the weekend Jocelyn and I redecorated it. And now, it's perfect!!!! Well, not perfect, But I'm not asking for perfect, I just wanted a room!!!! And I got it!!!!!

Dad seems to be doing okay, no significant change, but there is definite deterioration. My eldest sister is coming this weekend to be with him and then the middle sister and her husband and child are coming on Monday to stay for a while. We're also expecting an adopted sister of Dad's to come for part of the week.

Camp is in 18 days!!!!!! How exciting is that?!?!?!?! VERY!!!!!!! I'm SOOO looking forward to two weeks with some of my favorite people; I think this year more than ever before.

The second line to the VBS theme song is boring, it's "or take a little hike." All in all though, the songs are pretty good this year.

The trivia thing isn't working out so well at the moment, my guess is because it's summer. So we'll stop it for a couple of months and then when it's school time again (at least for me and all you other people still in the educational system) we'll start it up again. Ok? Ok.

The other thing that I've been working on is compiling all my stuff. Most of you know how much stuff I have, and most of it has been in the storage pod for months now. But this week I was able to pull most of it out and work it around and cut down on a lot of it. So now it's all stacked neatly in tubs which are stacked neatly in the corner of my room in two piles: school, and home. Most of you don't care, but the fact that my stuff has been spread out for so long has been bugging me for MONTHS, so this is quite a relief for me.

Other than that, not much is going on. My 11 year old niece got second degree (I think) sun burns this week, so she's home from school today. My 14 year old niece is on her 8th grade trip at the moment, they are probably just pulling into Six Flags Marine World. The little one, she's 7, is working on this musical program called "The Planets" which she sings bits and pieces of all the time, and that's all fine and dandy, but it's the same program I did in elementary school. What does that tell you??

Okay, signing off now. Love to all, Skippy
