the waves and deer were better today. this is the cat scratcher thingy i bought yesterday and barney is attracted to it. she acts like there is catnip in it but i am 100 percent sure it doesnt have any. gotta get ready for kyles second dinner so i will see you soon. katie

i went to the state park for the storm bill wave pictures. and all i got were the deer and one of the cloud. i should get a tee shirt with that statement on it ha ha. i tried the deer picture into 3 grid squares on my camara which i have read it changes the whole picture and it really does. i just pointed and shot until now i will play with that and learn. i thought that grid was always annoying and ignored it. i got a magizine (photoshop) that shows different views of the same picture and i thought it got me going in playing with it. i just got sneezed on by smokey uck. i accidentally stayed for dinner at kyles. i was talking to nora in the driveway and clay and becky came up. then it started thundering. kyle set a place for me (chicken salad) garlic bread. could not eat much but if i felt better it would have been GREAT then we started looking through old pictures many laughs were had. i came across the autographs that nora had gotten from tim conway and don knotts i showed becky the don knots she said who is that? OMG i feel old now. i said he was barney she didnt know who tim conway was either. i was floored it was fun though. time to curl up and go to sleep. see you soon. who ever i can.

sorry for the repeat picture that nora had in her emails but thought maybe the macklin side did not see this picture. i love this. i MET Brennon today and since he is only one day older he doesnt look different but it was nice to be in person with him sleeping on mommy (i forgot to buy a throw away camara) boo hoo .i only stayed 1/2 hour after a long day of uncessessful dress shopping for the wedding i was tired, in pain and full from my unexpected olive garden trip with terri and her family so i am on my way to bed soon. the parents are doing very well the baby is doing very well and the pets are very good with the baby so far. so all is well in the new macklin family. what a nice place too. thanks for letting me invade your space for a half hour. i love you all. great aunt katie

CONGRATS TO MR BOE WHO HAD BRAIN SURGERY MONDAY AND CAME HOME WED. THIS HEALTH CARE SYSTEM IS SCARE. I MAY BE OUT PATIENT FOR MY SURGERY. OR JUST AN OVER NIGHT. guess it is time for explaining,i clicked on a picture with dad adam, jake, aron and clay and got this so i thought i messed up. i definatley clicked on the same picture of dad, adam ect and it came up again. computers are not easy sometimes, i have no clue why this kept coming up so i had to put the same picture of dad up. god bless all awe the good old days.

well, no pictures from the fair becuase patty has my camara cards, both of them and i had to take a throw away camara, need pictures to take though to finish it up. the state fair was very quiet, i usually get up there every year as of the last several years, no real desire to look through the cows and pigs but just to be there walking around and being with terri, her daughters have had horse compitition for years now and they stay there most of the days all day long, i couldnt stand it i average 4 hours and i am done for the year. there was NO LINES at the fair consession stands. the whole four hours i was looking at 2 to 4 people in a line. it was fun though, i knew this one lady with a horse being in a competition there and that was her first time and she won grand show. WOW that was a beautiful horse. she said it was the first time she had shown him at all anywhere.

I WILL BE PRAYING FOR MR BOE AND I PUT HIM ON THE PRAYER LIST AT CHURCH. HANG IN THERE JASON, YOUR A GREAT SON AND I AM SURE A GREAT SUPPORT THANKS TO BARB YOU CAN BE THERE AS LONG AS NEEDED . FOR OUTSIDE PEOPLE, MR BOE WILL HAVE SURGERY TO REMOVE A BRAIN TUMOR.aug 3rd HE IS IN GREAT HANDS.

BOY we have had severe storm 4 since friday. 3 today in delmar anyway. friday 1 room and three patient belongings were saturated plus the hall door waterfall like from celing around outlets only had the one storm patients stayed in room after mopping and sending clothes down to dry. today, same thing happened on dayshift, the patients were elsewhere but the rain had stopped. when i got there. 1 hour later the same time as the storm on friday, we got torrential rain lightning ect i t was REALLY BAD, i was saturated just picking up the blankets on the floor and putting new ones down INSIDE the room. the administrator came in and moved the patients for the night. 80 percent more to do then friday. then another storm came in at 8. torrential down pour yes maintance came in too. the town next to delmar (salsbury) had water up the the car doors somewhere. god bless the boe family may god give you stregnth and patience to make it through this surgery. and may the doctors have knowledge of how to get the tumor katie i put his picture on my computer screen so i will pray every time i turn on the computer.
