Just Getting Adquainted!

Well...I go from elation to frustration, but I think I'm making progress. This is the first typing of any amount that I have done on the laptop, so forgive any typos.

I'm figuring it out with a little help here and there. I still have a couple of glitches in Outlook express. I wanted to have it on this machine too. I hate web mail. I will need some help to import my contact list I guess. I sure hate to think of typing them all in again!

Kevin spent several days with us, and we really enjoyed our time together. His plan was to go back to work at the port today, so we hope that happened.

Sunday I was elected to serve another three year term on the session at church. I am enjoying this particular job, and it doesn't usually take too much time. By the time I'm done this time around I will be ready to retire, I'm sure.

Kudos to Dave for helping Dad trim the maple trees yesterday. We spent this morning cutting up and packing up the branches. We also removed four old roses from the garden and I got most of it weeded and cleaned. We're trying to make sure it doesn't get too far out in front of us while we're on the cruise. We also got the other patch by the patio cleaned up and ready for a little garden when we return.

I'll be with Kenzie Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, so come by and say hello.

Posting Pics



I think you know this, but you can publish your pictures within your text posts and leave the margin for those more permanent types of pics... Certainly your call, but thought I'd mention it.

Kenzie's Report Card...even better than the first trimester!


Kenzie continues to excel at school. Her latest report card is even better than the one she brought home the first trimester. WAY TO GO GIRL!

Her strong subjects are social studies, math, and science.

Kenzie is enrolled at Aylen Jr. High School next fall in the Honors Math and Honors English and Social Studies program. It will be a challenging year and daddy wishes her the best!

Where OH Where Has That Little Gal Gone?


This is a picture of our lovely granddaughter who can't be found these days because she's so busy. We need a Soccer Schedule so we can go find her!

College Girl


Here's hats off to Ashley for her A- on a history paper! I hope you enjoyed it, Ashley! It's important to know where we've been, so we can discover who we are and where we're going. Learning can be such fun. I hope you take time to enjoy it.

A lot of things in my past are forgotten memories, but that year in college has remained vivid and precious. The only thing I would trade it for is a BA degree!

Houston.....we have hardwood!


My hardwood floor was refinished this week. I also had a new floor installed in the office. I am really starting to make some progress on this old house. Windows, a fireplace and mantel and a little trim and the front rooms will be done!
