We are off to Colorado for the weekend, Ed has a talking engagement with a church there. I am happily along for the ride. I am excited about coming back through Chicago and catching a photograpy seminar! I need to catch up on more new digital news!

On a health note----- Anyone out there get headaches with extreme temperature, weather changes? I was looking up magnesium because I've heard it helps for this situation. It seems halibut (3 oz.) is the highest food source, then almonds (1 oz), spinach, grains, beans etc. Does anyone have any other insight here?
A talk with Andria this morning about a parenting magazine article went something like this- Grandparents aren't the elbow macaroni, pipe cleaner crafty, undivided attention all day long stereotype they used to be......Grandparents used to complain..... if they hadn't had a visit with thier grandkids. Now we have a huge agenda, we are healthier, more engaged in every little or big community, job, church or advanced education. Hmmmm I don't think it's all good or all bad. What we took away as a conclusion was. Grandparents still need to invest the "who" they are in the lives a precious new generation and the belief that they aren't a babysitter but a role model with unconditional love and support for the grandkids. Ann, did I pick up on that right?
just thinking, Ed's now rushing around with that last minute energy. Bye......

You got it! =o) Must have been a pretty good conversation if we both understood our main points. =o) That Parents magazine...solving all the worlds problems. =o) I'm so excited for the times that you can "invest" in our little ones...when we just need a break I'll call a sitter...or Ash, or Kait...hey is Kurt busy? =o)

Love you,
