I missed you and I'm glad you are back. If there is anything we can do to help you with 'all this mess', I hope you will let us know. Judy

Hey Jeff -- I have a baby Little Prince banana with your name on it. :-) The ones I dug up last fall froze, but I saved you one when we divided some at UT a few weeks ago. I dunno if I'll make it to the mid-TN swap, but I'll get it to you eventually! I was actually in Nashville yesterday -- don't be mad! My grandfather died a few weeks ago, and we are starting to empty their (grampa's/gramma's) house. I'll probably be back in town in another week or two to do more packing. I'll try to let you know!

I've read all of the comments here and I finally had a chance to watch the segment on I Am Home. This is what I saw and heard regarding Will.I.Am. He appeared to be shy, humble and passionate about his quest and his goals. I also watched the second tape where he gave his grandmother a house and went back to visit his old home. This is a man that grew up poor and as an adult has decided to give back. Frankly, after watching the segment, how anyone could question his motives is beyond me. Here is a successful young man who is NOT in the news daily being talked about doing drugs, drinking, beating anyone or doing anything negative and instead of his venture being received positively, there was immediate negative energy. I just don't understand that. You know folk often criticize the news, media and TV for often portraying negative information about celebrities and here we have something positive and still there are complaints. I think it is fantastic what he is doing and I intend to contribute to his fund. Lurkkish thank you for bringing this to our attention because frankly, I've heard more lately about negative things regarding celebrities going on and had not heard a word about this. Really, I mean how sad is the fact that such a wonderful cause is going on, yet hardly any press has put been put out there about it. Also, here is another tidbit that many may not know about, often young musical celebrities like Will.I.Am have charities and give back but this fact is not often reported, rather the focus is on the bad boys and girls of the music world and all the crazy shenagins that they do.

What an ordeal for you all! I'm sure you were more than happy to get that behind you and get home! With all the decluttering threads I've been reading lately, I hope everyone (myself included) will read and heed. We're not filled to the gills, but we do need to sort out and get rid of an over-abundance of things so we don't put our kids through this one day. Books we won't ever read again, sentimental things our kids don't want and we don't need, etc. I'm retiring soon and the attack will begin.
