Basic News!!

We bought two coffee tables!! Yahoo! We found a coffee table, but luckily decided to measure before purchasing. The table is big, but so is our family room. However, with the layout of the furniture, the table would not fit.

We also had my piano moved to our house Saturday. It also got it's first tuning in over 30 years!

It looks like the people in charge of the Chinese adoptions have stepped up! This month rumors show a possible referral time of 2 weeks. That would be awesome. If this turned into a trend, it would be even better.

Gas prices are down to about $2.49 a gallon.

BP installed some type of cap over the past few days. The "cap" does not have a "lid" right now. Soon, possibly starting today, they will attempt to close off the leak. They need to make sure when the lid is installed, it can hold the pressure. BP is estimating they have spent over a billion dollars on this disaster. Many business owners on the Gulf Coast are becoming very upset due to loss of income and the delays in filing complaints with BP. They can't pay basic bills. Utilities are being cut off. Fishermen need to sell their boats to pay bills. A vicious cycle. Once the boat is sold, they won't be able to continue with their trade after the clean up.

Spain won the World Cup on soccer on Sunday. While watching the game in a large viewing area in Africa, some bombs went off killing a few people and harming many others. Ridiculous. Islamic radicals are claiming responsibility for the killings.

In big national news, the President's approval rating is dropping.

We leave for New York City in a few days. We are going to see Jersey Boys! I wanted to go to the crown of the Statue of Liberty, but we didn't order tickets in time.

Have a good day!
