Two Updates

I got a call from Uncle Lee Roy and Grandma's death is imminent. I will keep you posted about when we're going down.

On a lighter note. Annie got her first haircut and she looks like a pencil. She is the skinniest thing I've ever seen. She definitely has the body of a poodle. She isn't embarrassed like Penny used to be.

NEWS UPDATE

Sorry that I haven't blogged in a long time. My fans have been asking me why I don't blog anymore. It's probably that I've been working nonstop ever since we got back from Tennessee.

Grandma seems to be a little bit better. They are thinking he might be strong enough to go to the nursing home. It is definitely due to Uncle LeeRoy's good care of her. Poor guy. He hasn't had decent sleep in weeks.

Kara came over last night and is staying for a couple of days. That's so nice. I had just said to Jae I hadn't heard from her in awhile.

I've got to get to work, so I'll write later.

A New Program

I got a new program yesterday. This should be a fun thing for me. I have a job that is to transcribe some films made by Esteban. So I can put the film file into the program and control the movement of the film with a foot pedal. How cool. Now if you need to know the entire script of Pride and Prejudice, we can transcribe it while watching the movie.

Yesterday I was finally feeling well and recovered from my cold. It was so cold at the Kingdom Hall that my hair was standing up on my arms. I came home chilled to the bone and now my cold is back. I must take a blanket to the meetings.

Work has been heavy but not stessful.

This week our famiy passed a milestone with Bobby's birthday.

Sick, Sick Sick.

I woke up with a bad cold. Everybody here had the cold and I wondered why I didn't have it -- now I know. I had it.

Today I have to work, as usual, but I don't think i'm going to do much.

Ugh.

I'm Back

Ok, here I am again. I'm going to give this another try.

Joellyn, please, please help me to get that huge picture off and make something smaller.

Yesterday Annie had a little accident and got a pretty big cut in her chest. She had to go to the doggie doctor to have it glued shut. What an experience. The cut hardly bled but it was all the way through to her muscle. I was prepared for a huge bill, but it only cost $85. She's fine now.

My work has picked up so much. I could work every day if I wanted to.

The Circuit Overseer is here this week and he is so inspiring. I love his talks.

Dylan and Tyler have started school. I think Joe really picked out a good school for them.

I'll write tomorrow.

Going to Cheryl's

Here it is that days have gone by and Joellyn reminded me that I forgot to write something on the blog -- no, that's not true at all -- I forgot I had a blog.

Today Dylan Addison, Annie and I are driving to Cheryl's for a visit. Hopefully no one will throw up on the way (especially Annie). I am going to love driving there so much more because now I have the GPS. It doesn't have Cheryl's address in the map, but it gets to the gas station on 50 and I know how to get there from the gas station (except for Cheryl's house, because I forget what her mailbox looks like). Anyway, I think once I get to Cheryl's I can make it save the map for the next time.

Annie

Poor puppy had to go to the doggy doctor. She got four shots and didn't like it there very much at all. She has to go back in a month for the same thing all over again. When I try to pick her up and hold her she cries because it hurts where she got the shots. What a baby.

My Computers

Yesterday Bobby came over and fixed both of my computers -- amazing.
He put more RAM in my laptop. And I don't know what he did to the big one, but it's working.

Today is Doggy Doctor Day. Annie goes for her shots.

Have a fun day today.

Urbana Carnival

Last night we went to the Urbana Carnival to eat dinner. We ate inside and had all the usual things the firehall serves. We saw all our old friends. We all look the same, just older.

Tommy Hipkins said he has five grandchildren now. Scotty has two boys, Chris has two, a boy and a girl, and Samantha has one girl.

We saw Mike Morris and his wife (I forgot her name). She has cancer and looks like a skeleton. She was very enthusiastic and said she is starting a new treatment and is very hopeful.

Mr. Knill said he just got out of the hospital on the 3rd of July after 214 days there. He looked healthy, but he started to cry when he was talking about it.

Today is another work day.

My First Blog

This is new for me. This is my very first blog ever. Why am I doing this? I thought it was a great way to communicate with all of my kids, give you words of wisdom (I know you all will listen) and just generally waste your time and mine.

Today is a work day for me.

The Urbana Fire Department is having their carnival this week. Dad said that we are going to eat there every night. (Nothing like good firehall grease to keep you in roundness.)

I would like to go to the Korean grocery store sometime this week, preferrably towards the end since the spicy pork restaurant isn't open early in the week. Let me know if you want to go with me.

Have a fun day.
