Hey Mo!!

You havn't called in 2 1/2 days!!!! Why???

I tried to call twice to Hotel Cenacolo Francescano. I really hate those people
there now! The first time I asked if they could tell me which room you were in
(around 6:30 am) and all I could get out of the guy (in english at least) was
"Telephone, Breakfast, 8" so I said ok, thanks and hung up. 7 min. till 8 I
called back and got some woman who answered with what sounded like the name of
the hotel, so I asked if she could tell me what room you were in and sha said
"Sorry?" so I repeated myself (slower this time) and then I heard a little
background noise and "click". SHE HUNG UP ON ME!!! How Rude! I really don't like
those people!

Well, mabey the people in Rome will be nicer.

Havn't I told you that orange and red don't mix, and they are definatly not your
colors? How dare you go shopping with out me.... Katies dress was kewl, did she
get that there?

Ferra misses you, she really didn't want to do anything today but lay around.
She didn't even ask to come out and play. Honey still wants you to think hes mad
(don't tell him I'm telling you this), but he still crys at night. Today he
asked me when you would be home. Elvis and Austin are great, they don't seem to
care much, I'm sure they do but what do you expect from dogs. JJ is worried that
you havn't called. He's still laying on the counter and pissing off mommy.
Austin got to come in and play with elvis during the dust storm today. He was
really good, Elvis on the other hand has been knocking over the trash at least
twice a day.

You need to get in some more close up shots. Grab some unsuspecting Italian and
jump in front of the camera with a cheesy smile pointing at him/her. That would
be a good one.

Miss you lots!

K, I love ya, buh bye!

*Smile, your pets love you!*

Hey! :)
The gang at work sends you wishes of happiness and a note that you are in their
prayers.

I'm still having withdrawl symptoms my house is very quiet. Ivana is spending
the weekend with Kristen at God's horse ranch. Dad is working OT and I'm
shopping for Air Conditioning.

I have been looking through the Web pages. Haven't found any photo's of your
group yet. I think maybe they're in an attachment that we can't open. (Is it
possible to talk with the webmaster - about maybe a photo of your group in the
St Theresa Section? :))

The photo's of the country side are awesome. I know the spiritual presence of
all that you (The group) are experiencing is something you'll all remember as
too precious to forget.

Send us a post card of you next tour experience. LOVE YOU.
Sending you blessing thoughts and prayers through his love. MOM
