hello roberto and GJ! 

  all is well here, although there is some pretty bad damage in texas, which is south of kansas. a tree fell on the burned house across the street and messed up the power, there were brown outs for 2 days, but it's fine now. 

  liam got to go home today, yay! elliot should be able to go home by saturday too. we have more storms coming, but this is a good thing, we need the rain. i think i mentioned the huge wildfires we had in western kansas? there are some really wonderful people in this world, people are bringing hay to feed the livestock from all over the country, and helping people rebuild their homes, it's a wonderful thing! 

  how's the weather over there, roberto? hoping you are well! by the way, i thought of you with a smile the other day. my small friend trenton wants to learn how to cook italian food like i do! he's 10, my friend deni's grandson, i love that boy to bits!
