Melody,
Bob and I ate supper with Mary and David Sunday evening. It wasn't planned, it just worked out. She said she had talked to you Sunday morning. I haven't called you, but I have prayed for you. I hope you continue to improve.
My kingdom for some good mexican food! We have yet to find a good mexican restaurant up here, so we've resorted to becoming one ourselves. Still working on the whole guacamole thing, however.
On second thought, maybe we can just go without it. RH
haha!
One thing I miss...
"Hello meester!!"
Hey guys...I miss ya'll. I just remembered you had a site and immediatley went to it. I'm in Texarkana working at a dance studio nights and being lazy during the day. Working w/a youth group as a volunteer at my church. Love the kids...they're really mature! Anyways, I hope ya'll are doing great.
love, Shauna
dear melody and matt,
yesterday I watched king of the hill in your honor.
love

Oh, Hi!!! I have been taping Dr. Phil and Extra since you left and was going to send it as a big surprise. Oh, well, foiled again. I don't know your e-mail address, so thought I would leave a comment. How is your leg? Obviously not completely healed. Sheri and family moved to Siloam Springs in June. I miss them. Chris had started school and already loving it. Sheri is trying to get Hunter into Head Start. He needs it. All is well with the rest of the Frank family. We still miss ya'll. Love ya, Pat
Pat,
you have no idea how at home it makes us feel to hear from you. We're glad to hear about Chris, Hunter and Sherri. I hope Hunter enjoys headstart as much as Chris is enjoying school. I enjoyed my time in that area of the state. You can email us at bendblock@yahoo.com for Matt and micklemelody@yahoo.com for Melody, of course. We don't have your email address either. We'd love to know what's going on in the church. We've heard that the words posted here often find their ways into those hallowed halls.
How does it feel now that the whole of what was the staff has fled the borders of our fair nation?
