First - Last Wednesday the 22nd, my Grandfather (actually, great-uncle) passed away. While I was home I took him to and from multiple doctor's appointments, we moved him into a nursing home, and we watched as dementia began to over-take his mind. He was 89 years old, and an Army veteran who served in WWII. He was buried yesterday. This is a picture of him from early 2002, shortly after he and his wife moved from New York down to Georgia to live with our family. I think that was the last time he saw snow in Georgia. His sister was my Mom's mother, and she was the one who had the red hair that I inherited.
Next - Tuesday evening, David and I went with a large group of Students from GTL, to play laser tag! It was a lot of fun. We broke up into teams of 10-11 people and then each team had the opportunity to play every other team. My team was team "E". We did really well, after the first game (it was just our warm up game). I went from a negative score of -450 and a rank of 21/23 to a positive score of 1600 (still not that high) and a rank of 10/23...and I was on a team of all guys...so that's pretty good, right?
There was only one problem...the vest we had to wear that had the sensors on it was a little big on me and I ended up getting bruises on my arms. They are actually really uncomfortable.
We also had our carte de sejour renewal meeting today (the reason we had to be back here in France by this week). Everything went smoothly and quickly believe it or not. The thing we find particularly interesting is that everytime we have to submit paperwork for something we had to include a copy of our marriage certificate. ...even for a renewal. Oh well, Josyane has about 50 copies so at least we won't run out!Lastly - Today, official plans have been made to send Duncan. David and I will be going Germany to spend the weekend with Cori in hopes that on Monday the weather in Georgia will remain cool enough for Duncan to get on a plane. It can't be warmer than 85 degrees or Delta won't allow him to fly. The uncertainty makes me nervous, so I bet you can guess what I'll be praying about the entire weekend. :o)
That's all for today. I'll leave you with a picture of Duncan, from yesterday, pre-yawn...isn't he cute?

You, my friend, have a very exciting life and I have to admit that I am often very jealous of you!!! Enjoy your life in France--again! and good luck getting Duncan there.
Love to you and David!
