4am came very early this morning, but even at that, the family was up and getting about very quickly. We left in the van at about 5:30 I think and it was about a 3 hour trip to the Step Mothers house of Jimmy. We visited there for about 1/2 hour then proceeded to a very old and run down cemetery and to the above ground tomb of Nora's late husband, Jimmy. We spent about an hour there and then dropped off the Stepmother and a boy then proceeded to get on the SCTEX hiway, it was built during the hey days of Clark AFB and Subic Bay. Made good time till we stopped to eat at Chow King. From that point on it was only about 1/2 hour to make it back home.
We spent 1,000 on fuel 330 on tolls, about 700 for lunch and I will give Alex 1,500 so the total was arouind 3,300p for the whole trip. It was good as Nora got closure as well as did Joyce and Kenneth... hard to tell about Joyce Anne as she is so quiet and reserved.
Nora's nephew has a birthday so we will be leaving again for Kalookin this afternoon about 3pm. We will probably be there thru dinner and then come back home here to Marilao.
The day has been good, we are somewhat bushed as the sleep was very short and there was no time to really nap today. I should imagine that we will retire early this evening in hopes of getting a good nights sleep.
Not much else to say so hope you have a great Sunday when it comes to your part of the globe... Mine has been... good.

Glad to hear that you had a good trip to pay respects to "Jimmy" and that Nora and the children finally got some closure. I know that he is smiling and appreciating your visit.
Birthday parties are always fun with some good eats, so all of you should be happy after that. Yes, a good nights sleep will be beneficial for all of you after a busy day !
We went to church this morning and then out to a wonderful brunch at Sienna. Upon finishing that, Gareth and I stopped at a pet store to get a little Giraffe to hold ones puppie droppings in when he arrives. They did not have the one we wanted yet, so we will return another day. Almost bought our crate today, but will put that off for just a little while longer.
Gareth is watching the 49ners verses the Oakland Raiders and the score right now is 6/0 Oakland. It is really our first rainny day and we are enjoying it. I have a few things to take care of inside in preparing for my surgery tomorrow morning. That will be one down and one to go. Our day is very good also.
Much love,
Batten down the hatches Dennis. It looks like you are in for one heck of a storm. God bless and keep all of you safely in his arms.
Lollie, yes it was a good party as I mention in todays posting... anxious about your puppy? I am sure that he or she will add some interesting moments... take care
Leann, Yes, the Typhoon Megi/Juan is having quite a blow, Nora told me that the news this morning said that it is going to miss us, I hope that is true, a year ago the Typhoon Odnoy wreaked massive destruction and many lives were lost... fortunately we will miss this one.
Have you decided on days or Nights??? that seems to be the question you face many times each year...
God bless you also... take care
