Dad and his 2008 Harley

Well, he is trading it in on a 2009 Kaw.... I know he loves Kaw's and really misses the one he used to have. The Harley just isn't real comfortable.

The meetings went well this morning. Just so much new to digest along with new reg. changes. I really wish someone in the congress would ask for teacher input....!

I am "decluttering" the attic. I have a little of every one's things up there, plus dad's and mine. I have a few antiques if any of you want them. (My family only.) There are two sets of dishes, one was my grandmother's and one was my mom's. I think Mom's we will use at Thanksgiving, since she just had her 90th party it would be great to use them again. We are so blessed to have a solid foundation for a family to build on. Of course the docs are telling us that she will probably live to be at least 120. I guess that is what honest, hard working, loving families have to look forward to.

I am very proud of all four of our children. You all understand hard work and dedication. Your financial sense makes you good strong people. I love the fact you are all good with money and managing credit. It shows in what you can purchase when you want it. I am proud of the fact that you are all going to college to become teachers and physical therapist. It is tough though on getting together since it seems between your work schedules and school we can't get together much. (Austin can't wait for the next vacation!)

Casi we are all proud of the fact you decided to go through with the brain surgery. You are showing us how strong you are. Dad and I have both discussed how much happier you seem and how you are more like the little girl with the ocean blue eyes and the big wide grin we knew.

It seems odd not having a million things to do. I have finally caught up with the work I needed to get done to feel prepared for school. I am now a week ahead of schedule and I can now get a few weeks ahead I hope.

Next Saturday I will probably be doing Sat. school as Brenda asked me to do it. I always let the "young ones" have an opportunity to do it for the extra pay, however she doesn't want that next week because of how many and who the students are. The good thing about it is the pay on payday.

The desk I designed for Nichole is working great. She really loves it. Now she can be in her wheelchair and do homework with enough area to work and within her field of vision.

I do have a gripe with someone, but I won't put it on here in case they decide to read it. He just.... Oh well some folks just don't understand what family is and how you should own up to your responsibilities... Co-operation is important to keep children okay. I don't like the childish game playing. Besides he didn't do much supporting when married so why when your not. Get the hint! Besides this is my site and I have a right to my opinion and the knowledge that leads to this opinion.

Off that blink, blink, blink subject.

Bella we would love for you to stay awhile longer. It is so great adding you to our family. Mom loves you and so do the rest of us. Lara and Chris are really great "parents." Goes back to the fact they have two great sets of parents and families that understand that families can extend beyond just the house you live in and/or country.

Dad Orville is still not well. He is deteriorating so quickly. Mom makes sure she goes out to feed him at least once a day. He won't eat for anyone else for some reason. We are not sure why. I guess mom's face is kind of familiar or maybe she reminds him of his mother. I think she will have a hard time loosing a second husband, however he is not much more than a vegetable now and it is heart breaking. The people at church always ask about him.

Speaking of church, Chris I will let you know the exact date of the next noodle dinner. It is suppose to be sometime this month.

How is the house sell going? I sure hope it gets closed-on soon. Lara then you can just go to school and not have to worry about the house in Kokomo.

Well I will leave for now. I will try and post my pictures off my camera this weekend. Time is a limited resource. I try to use mine wisely. Sitting here writing...well forgive me but I just need some aaaaaaaaahhhh time.

Dad is in bed, as he is back on his shift. He was to go to the dentist yesterday for a teeth cleaning... no power at the dentist office. Soooooooo. Long drive for nothing.

Da Bo
