2nd Thursday down and 2 to GO!!!
February 28th, 2008
Wow, thanks for all the comments today…It really made our day…we like reading about your days just as much as you like the adventures we are having. I know your going to say your stuff is boring but not to us so Thanks.
Today was another beautiful day even though the staff here does not think so. We get in trouble for going outdoors everyday because they think it’s cold and we are going to get sick but we just ignore them and still go out because it was another sunny 50+ day. Devin had another good day and was walking up a storm tonight to where I told him he was killing me and of course he just laughed his head off. I sure do miss his walker and bike!!!
Well we tried to be adventurist again today and Devin, I and another mom (Julie) with her son Mark went to get a manicure today. OK, so I and Julie were getting the manicure and Devin and Mark were just tagging along. Well another shocker, only get a manicure in the US!!! If you have ever gotten a manicure from a Chinese place in the US don’t think it’s going to be the same here. Lets just say I did have nails before I went. That’s right there was no pampering and the guy took my hand and basically got a razor blade out and cut off all my nails and then gave a gesture that he was finished!!! It’s a good thing he didn’t know English!!! So, that was my manicure, cut off fingernails. No corners trimmed or hands rubbed with lotion and cuticles pushed back or even painted. Just my nails were cut as low as they could go…yes Brenda they are about as short as yours (just kidding). It’s a good thing it only cost me $2.00 US dollars and no I did not give a tip.
Hillary – Trust me I already thought about bringing home some of the Bud. Actually, for us there is a lot of inexpensive stuff. I bought 3 oranges the other day at the mart and all 3 of them cost me $0.55 (US $) and the 4 banana’s were $0.75(US $). It’s the American stuff that cost the same as the US. But, what is really funny is that the American stuff does not taste exactly like it as home. For example, the Lay’s potato chips are not as salty and do not taste as good just like the Pringle’s. They are better at home. The only thing that tasted really good was the BUD!!!!
Julie & Gary- Thanks for taking care of my other two at home. That dinner sure did sound good!!!
Tomorrow (Friday) Devin is going to get his last IV stem cell treatment. This means 3 down and 3 spinals to go!!!
Well time to go Devin his telling me he is hungry and he wants Ramon Noodles for supper:)
Have a great Thursday we’ll be thinking about you in our sleep:)
Kim & Devin

Hi Devin and Kim,
Yes…we have another gray day her in Wisconsin and are expecting more snow soon. Brrr, Devin. But….we are confident that yoiu both will bring sunshine home with you! We love hearing about all of your fun, not so fun, and interesting times in China. Please keep sharing! We know you’ve heard this a lot, probably because it is so true, but we are very proud of you both. You are an inspiration to us all! We wish we had a funny story to tell you…we will try to do a better job of finding humor in everyday things as well as Kim does. We have to say, we are irritated for you about the manicure thing. We can tell you that several times a day, your friends here in Cuba City ask, “When is Devin coming back?” We ALL miss your cheery “HI” Devin.
Take care both of you!
Melinda and Anne

Hi Kim&Devin Weather wise you’re better off over there, it’s supposed to start getting better, maybe you’ll bring the sunshine back with you. Devin take care of your mother, more now since she found out the BUD tastes good! Brenda could have given you the same manicure as she has for less money! Give us a holler when you two get back. Devin take it easy on your mom when you’re working out she’s not as young as she used to be! Take Care BUCK

Devin and Kim,
Hello, sorry I miss write a few days but I have been very busy running my tail off. Its good that you are getting out and about . It will make the time go faster. Thats what I tell myself Devin. I miss you little man. Its great to also hear that you are up and walking alot. Don’t get to fast for me because I am not a runner!! This weekend I am going to Door county to visit my brother Randy, Amy(his wife), and their three little racals. I am excited to go somewhere away from all this snow. They actually have very little snow. Mrs. Casey came in today to visit. She is looking good. The kids are all a little antsy and wigglely. In gym they are roller skating. Missy saya hello. Travis wants to know if you have seen any turkeys lately, Devin? Well I better get going. Good luck with your next treatment. Kim, We are all jealous of your manicure. Do you know where we can get one like yours?
Hugs and love,
miss you,
Pam
