Hi Everyone!

[gja1000]

Betsi! You really are the traveler!! Are you back from the beach, or are you still there?

I know you will have a great time! I'd love to go to Seattle!

[Janet]

Betsi...you know I'm living vicariously through you right now right? I would love to just get out of my county..lol. You take lots of pictures for us okay?

[paula1961]

Have a wonderful and safe trip Betsi!! I'm so glad that you are gonna be spending some time with your son and his wife. You all will have a great time!!! Can't wait to see pix!

Thanks everybody! I was just at the beach for 4 days. The seaweed came rolling in the 1st day we were there, due to the tropical storm in the Gulf, I think. It made things pretty nasty

I think Dustin wants to see with his own eyes that I am ok. Michael moving so far away has really been hard on all of us, and we just need to be together for a while.

I'll take pictures for you Janet! I never really went anywhere until Dustin moved off. I hate airports, but I don't mind flying. I much prefer having somebody to travel with, but I'll go alone if I have to, lol!

Have a wonderful flight Betsi, and enjoy your visit with Dustin!

I'm glad that Dustin and his wife ask you to come and visit. Being with family will help with having your other son moving so far away. I know that I would really have problems with it too. Jaci lives only 12 miles from us and I don't like her even being that far away. I think that it's the mother in us that wants to watch over our kids and make sure that they're ok. Like when it storms I just want all of my family HERE with me!!!!! Anyway, I hope you're having a great time!!!!

Pictures would be really nice!!! Hugs!!!

I forgot to mention that we're leaving for the weekend. We're going to Shangri-Lloyd's!!!! LOL My Mom and some of her sisters are going and some of their cousins and some of my cousins. I'm not sure how many. I'm planning on soaking up some sun and swimming my heart out!!!

We may or may not be coming home with the bird. My cousin said that her husband is having some problems with giving her away. I told her that was fine and that I understood so we'll see. I'll be disappointed but it will be alright if I don't get it.

I'm not sure how much I'll be on because I have soooo much to do to get ready!! We're not leaving until tomorrow sometime. It will be so different just having Glen and I going. I'm so used to having Jaci go with us on vacation!!

I think that I'm going to take Jazzi but leave Reuger with Dae Lynn. Karlie is so excited because watching him is going to be her responsibility and I'm going to pay her!!! Jazzi is a little harder to get along with and I worry about her getting snippy with Karlie......also Jazzi gets along with other dogs better than Reuger and there will be another dog at Lloyds.

Well....I better get off of here and get busy I have lots to do!!! Hugs....I'll see ya'll on Monday!!!!!

We got peaches at the farmers market yesterday. I made a big peach cobbler (with splenda) and today we are making homemade peach ice cream (with sugar). It's 99 degrees, don't you think that calls for homemade ice cream!

[Janet]

Yes it does! We need to get our ice cream maker out and put it to work..lol. Not much really going on here to even write about. Not sure if I mentioned it or not, but I've decided not to breed anymore. Husband wanted to know what we were going to do with the dogs.....what the heck does he think we'll do with them??? He said it's too many for pets...so I told him if he left, he wouldn't have to worry about it. So far....he's still here. CRAP!!

My job hunting has not been going well at all. The job market isn't good, but being 55 that doesn't help. Would like to have part-time to suppliment the bus driving. I need out, but can't without money...lol. Funny how that works isn't it?

Ricky graduates this month from Lincoln College of Technology. His last day is the 20th. He's still working at the auto parts store and loves his job. I told him on his days off, he needs to find something in his field of study. He wants to, but also loves where he is at. We'll see.

Still have one puppy left to sell. Have to use some of the puppy money to pay off my credit card. Put all the expenses on this litter on charge. Then need to use some for spaying two females and neutering 2 males. Hopefully I'll have some left over.

I'm sorry the job hunting is not going well, it is a tough time to be looking right now. My sister-in-law is 62 and looking for a part time job. She's been looking several months, not too hard, but looking (in Kansas City). She hasn't found anything either so she's going to help her nephew in the office at his bar/restaurant. Hopefully, it will turn into a part time job for her because the job market is just not very good right now.

Yes, he definitely needs to try to find a job that utilizes his training. I was wondering where he was working, I knew he'd found a job, but did'nt know what he was doing. It's good that he enjoys the auto parts store - that is "sorta" in his field.
