It is late at night now. My daughter just came over to visit our new family
members when they awake. So far, better than expected. When the kid's
discovered the computer and internet, they were glued to the screen. Now I
need nannny filters.

The vetting process was tough. There was a 2 and a 1/2 year hole in my
military sevice because it was "classified". I guess I still am. I had to
go to confession and tell the priest what I was doing then. After over an
hour in the confessional booth, I was rewarded with a congratulations and
no penance.

What a wierd experience for a Catholic. Only the 2 of us in the the church,
we shook hands before we went into confession and I didn't say "Bless me
father, for I have sinned". We just talked.

I had to write because I am so happy my daughter came to meet our new
friends in the morning. BTW, not to brag, but on a scale of 1 to 10, she is
a 20. Must have been a good looking mailman

Take a little advantage of the situation, also. Get the mom to teach you (or
SWMBO) some Louisiana cooking. If I had a family with me, or get one, the first
thing the mom will be required to do is teach me how to cook red beans and rice,
the LA way.

The vetting process, or lack thereof, is why I won't sign up on one of the
internet sites I mentioned yesterday. We are getting closer to finding a source,
and I may just call the local Catholic Church.

Crap. In all this I forgot that we've got two couples from the Netherlands
coming in two weeks, and they'll be here for two weeks. Better wait.

How old are the kids with your guests?
