Hardest thing I have had to do...

There is nothing better than family and when things get tough, family pulls together. I have seen that first hand after my Father-in-Law Rod got sick last week. Mike & the kids drove to Wisconsin to be with him and came back on Monday morning. Yesterday we received word that Rod has cancer. I am not looking forward to us telling the kids tonight, and how much we will tell them. Thank you to Stephanie, (my media contact @ the American Cancer Society) for her help in that area. Rod is a fighter and we hope to have him around for a long time.

I was worried about Mike but so far he is taking the news moment by moment.

Will get back into writing...

So I have been horrible on writing. Hope to get in a better routine. I have also been a bit slack on working out...but that will change!! Things will get busy at work with Jason no longer employeed with the company I will be taking over the news through noon each day. It will keep me very structured, which isn't all bad, and I do thrive on all the fun of doing both farm and news!

Going to Washington DC


There is a great program called "The Honor Flight". This program takes WWII Vets to Washington DC to see the WWII Monument. The gentleman at the left is my Grandpa Morrison. I remember so many stories he would tell about being away from home and how he had met so many people. The one thing I remember the most is he once told me the world was a wide open space and I had to look at every person I met or place I traveled as a new adventure. In part because you never know when a new door in your life will open. I am excited to get the chance to take that adventure on the 21st of May when I travel to Washington DC with a group of WWII Vets from Nebraska. This picture of my Grandpa will be going with me. He was a wonderful man who in all my memories I don't remember him complaining! Our youngest son Paul was named after him. So many things Paul does reminds me of my Grandpa and our little Paul is always running into stuff hitting his head etc. This I am told Grandpa Morrison was always doing! I do remember a lot of bandages on his hands and forhead growing up!
I miss him and so wish I would have wrote down those stories he told me growing up. I can't wait to be on a plane with the WWII Vets and introduce them to my Granpa Paul!

How time can fly by

OKAY KATHY>>>> This last few weeks have been NUTS. I am lucky to get my station website updated:P I guess busy is always good.

So my boys, my sweet, never do anything wrong boys! Who would think a 2 and 8 year old would find SO many excuses to NOT go to bed. I think I got my exercise just going up and down the stairs! They are both excited that there are parties this weekend. First Saturday morning we will celebrate Paul's bday with Mikes family. (his bday isn't till the 12th) and he is so excited that he gets to have cake and icecream for breakfast. Okay not really, I will make him eat cereal. But Mike has to work at 10a-midnight so we will do the party early. Then Sunday its Bryan's 1st Communion. My house is almost ready. Just that last minute pickup stuff.

I am getting a new digital camera (thanks Harlan) so I will be able to post pictures. I bought his old one and Kathy says its and awesome camera as she has one like it. Well back to updating my work website and cutting up some audio for news...

Later Gator....
