Disneyland, Dodger game and Strep throat ???

Sorry it has been so long since I last wrote but I was just having so much fun, visiting, playing with my boys and seeing the sights. We have had a day at Disneyland, quite crowded for a weekday in April and the Dodger game with Chris and Jeanette was great, especially since they won. I love those Dodger dogs but the price of food, they now offer seats and all you can eat for one price, but they were all sold out. On May 4th we moved up to Lancaster to stay with our friends. They have been soo... good to us. Thanks Julie for all your great meals. On Mother's day we drove to Palm Desert for a visit with Mark's parents, in a 1986 Red Corvette, loaned to us by our friends. It is very low to the ground and you feel like those big trucks could just run right over you, but you sure get lots of looks. I had not been feeling well, sore throat, temp and vomiting for a couple of days, while visiting I decided to visit urgent care and found out I had strep throat. Once I got the antibiotic I started feeling better but now I have this really ugly rash all over. I am not contagious but I sure look like I should be quarantined. The week after Mother's day, Jennifer, Jeanette (Chris's girlfriend), and I went to a women's retreat at Jen's church and had a great time. The next week Jen and Sam went to Yosemite for four days and Mark and I got to watch the boys. We took them to the park and the zoo and had a blast. On Tuesday night, I had to head to the store for some goodies, in the red corvette and wouldn't you know it, the thing refused to start. We had to have it towed back to Lancaster, 120 miles, fortunately our friend had one free 200 mile tow with the Auto Club. Then on Thursday Mark had to have a squamous cell cancerous spot removed from his head, so now I have this ugly rash and he has a big hole in his head, Oh did I mention that his computer crashed and he lost everything, we have a back up back in Vietnam, but that does not help us now. We are still waiting for HP to return it, fortunately it is still under warranty. Well so far the good times are still outweighing the bad. We are resting this Memorial Day weekend and then on Monday we go to Anaheim for our yearly church convention. We look forward to visiting with many of our friends on the mission field. I will close for now and try to add pictures at some point. Hope you all are well and blessed.
