Hi y’all. Just want to thank you for your sweet words and kind comments and all those prayers you have lifted on Sean’s behalf this past month. You might expect your mom or your grannny to pray for you, but people you’ve never seen before? Amazing. And it fills my heart up to the very brim.
My blog is still not completely on the rails. Comments are not coming through to my email right now, so the only way I know if you’ve left a comment is if I check in on my blog and then as many of you know, I like to respond to what you’ve said and chat you up and bug you and that’s harder to do as it stands. Just wanted you to know that. I will resume bugging y’all when the email is fixed.
I currently have five large bottles of ketchup in my pantry and I’ll tell you why on Monday. Oh I know. The suspense is probably killing you, but try to carry on.

Cannot wait to hear the ketchup story. My pantry is always a crazy place. I’m losing things these days as opposed to finding additions. I recently lost an entire box of Cheerios! I know. Sigh. Angela

Maybe you’re like me and you’re tired of opening the refridgerator only to discover that you are out of Ketchup (again!)??

Don’t even tell me this is some kind of new-age diet… or a home-made horror flick in the makes! Those are the only funny ones I can think of right now, and I’ll be in suspense all weekend til I hear from you what it’s for!
How could little Sean NOT steal our hearts! He is such a cutie, and you have the cutest little stories and pictures of him. Even though I’ve never even met him or you, I love ‘knowing’ ya’ll. We’ll all continue to say little prayers for Sean & you. Much love and God Bless!

I realized the other day that you had not mentioned how Sean was doing in a while. We were “at the Farm”, as the boys like to say, so I asked Ruthie about it. The timing is amazing to me. I came home and read your posts – and there it was. The update.

My three younger brothers and I used to cover our faces in ketchup and lie very still at the bottom of the drive for passing traffic to see…
Mmmm…can’t imagine you’d be doing that. I’ll have to call back

Hi AM,
Just wanted to pass along something that has been happening to me. Do you have Road Runner internet service? That’s what I use and never had a problem with receiving my email until I downloaded/installed their free anti-virus software; I believe it’s called Security Suite. Shortly after I started using it, my emails kept coming repeatedly, but would never complete. As a result, I kept receiving the same emails over and over, but they would never “finish”. I found that by changing the settings on the anti-virus to “snooze” for a few minutes enables me to receive all of my emails. I really should contact Road Runner to see if there is a fix for this bug, as the program overall works well and it’s free. Hope this helps. Lisa in Florida

Lots of tomato sauce huh? Mine is packets of coffee – and I don’t drink the stuff!

Ketchup, hmmm. Are you going to clean your pots or shine up allot of pennies? Or maybe Sean is like my brother at that age – putting ketchup on everything. It got so bad that my mother had to hide it just to control him. He would put it on cereal, bread, pizza, vegtables and anything else that didn’t move. He would even just eat it right out of the bottle. Yuck.
