Re: Making a molehill...

Fran: Oh, I wish I had called, too! Next time we come that way, I'll
make sure to let you know ahead of time as I would love to meet up with
you. I am looking forward to our next visit to the Memorial...my husband
wants very much to visit there during the anniversary as he has a
personal investment in that day's events that changed his own life...

Ohhhhh I wish you had called!! As a survivor, my name is engraved on
the<br>piece of granite from the building. The video footage of being
carried<br>out is on the videos inside in addition to a picture of the
moment. Then<br>the coffee mug that was on my desk is on display: just a
chip taken out<br>of it! My office looked like the exhibit of the
building and I still<br>can't figure out how I ever crawled out of
there?<br><br> <br>I am deeply involved in many of the activities there.
Just this last<br>anniversary, I participated in calling out the names
of those killed.<br>The least I could do is pronounce their names
correctly. My husband now<br>works there doing public relations and has
just finished 2 more books<br>about it: the fence and one on the history
of how the Memorial was<br>built.<br><br> <br>But most of all the place
is special to me because we were married under<br>the Survivor Tree last
December. My office window overlooked the tree:<br>it is one of the
large

arched windows in the Journal Record Building. So<br>I'm really pleased
with the place - especially since it considers the<br>impact on so many
people, not just those killed. Later, Fran<br><br><br>Melody

But, we are getting ready to take<br>our long awaited<br>trip to
Oklahoma to visit family and also to meet Pam<br>and Jesse!! So,<br>lots
of work to get the house completely clean (I<br>***hate***
coming<br>home from vacation to a messy house with laundry left<br>to
do!!!) and<br>also to make room for our neice who is staying the
summer<br>with us.<br>The house is now clean from top to bottom and the
laundry is<br>all<br>done! Even the dogs got baths. I guess we did mow
the lawn and<br>weed<br>wack this weekend, pulled a f

ew<br><br>weeds but didn't get much other<br>gardening done...still have
about a<br>dozen new plants I need to get into<br>the ground this week,
and<br>hopefully the weather will cooperate. All the<br>suitcases are
packed so<br>that should give me some time to get the yard in<br>good
shape to stand<br>up to us being gone for a week!<br><br><br><br>Melody,
