ErinRose came up today and we’re having a great Thanksgiving–too bad you’re not here to play games with us. The necklace is absolutely beautiful–I kept watching the diamonds sparkle at dinner.
Hey buddy, great blog! We all miss you at Thanksgiving. Hope o hear more on your blog about your super keen adventures. Stay safe and be well.
Love
Greg
Great Blog. I hope all works well. If you need any techno help I am only an e-mail or call away. My mobile is 614.361.6475 and you got my e-mail address if not call. Sounds like a great adventure, best of luck and may the Lord be with you. Stay safe. PS The CEO’s advise is write on and I would add the following: Do NOT eat any fruit or vegetable that is pre-cut or washed with water. Only drink from a bottle or can, NO ice. Keep your finger nails short and clean. Don’t rub your eyes or lips with your fingers, use the corner of your wrist.
Hi Paul,
I am enjoying your blog. Please give my regards to my nephew Jon McLean if you see him.
Jeff
Jeff i will pass on the regards. You may be interested to know that jon was the first non-deaf-ed trainee to receive a sign name: hand under chin (die) followed by two fists (hard). Its one of our favorites. Im not sure he even knows. Johns a real problem solver so i can see him doing good things here.
Amber your turtle blog was one of the main reasons i wanted to have my own. I hope you contine to visit. . . Ill try to keep it interesting. Greg thank you and i hope things are well it the new house. Uncle chuck im trying to take all the advice but its hard to dodge all the vegetables. Grandma i have no idea what game is in the picture but we are playing a lot of hearts and in still trying to figure out pinochle. Whew! I didnt realize i had fallen so far behind with the comments.
Hi Paul,
Got your website from my brother-in-law Jeff Briggs. You are in Kenya with my son Jon McLean. Hope you are all doing well and i know you are getting ready for the swearing in and assignments. Good Luck and stay safe.
Kim McLean
Kim: As it turns out, out of the entire training group, Jon is actually the closest to me. I haven’t seen his place yet, but I have seen the ferry that I’d need to take to visit him. On the Mombasa side it’s right next to Nakumatt, the big Target-style store here.
