Jasmine's Graduation from Warren County Career Center

Here's the graduate standing in line before the ceremony. Attendees were Ron, Kim, Noah, Haley, Katie, "Mimi", Uncle Ray & Aunt Lola. It was a short and sweet ceremony (thankfully) for all concerned and especially Jasmine who was glad it was over and ready to go home. Her ceremony for Lebanon High School is Saturday, May 30th, at a church near Cincinnati--where she'll get her actual diploma. She got her "Passport" from the Warren County Career Center that she can use for job interviews and the like as she goes out into the world. Congratulations again Jasmine!

Address

Hey Chance!
What is your address? I sent you a card, but it was returned and said "no such number"....maybe I wrote the address wrong????

Just got back from vacation. Had already typed a paragraph but when I went to post some pics it all erased. CRAP. Went to mississippi and spent a couple days with Sams airforce buddy Don. Swam in his pool and went on a tour of this old plantation house. went to Pensacola. They just opened the road connecting Navarre Beach and Pensacola beach so we took a little road trip on the way back I wanted to stop and look for shells but we found more than that. On our way back to the car a body washed up on shore in front of us. It was a 17 year old that had disappered sat afternoon while he was out surfing with his grandfather. Needless to say that pretty much ruined my vacation.I'll try to post those pics now.HAPPY MOTHERS DAY TO ALL THE MOMMIES!!!!

Where is everybody. anyway thought i would share a couple of pics these are of the start of the remodel of our kitchen. bigger job than we both thought it would be, and a pic of the girls Halle and Lizzie

Hello everyone. Sorry I havent been on in awhile but been busy. Its crazy you get a few stents (5) and those damn doctors want to see you all the time and then they sign you up for cardiac rehab. I just finished with the rehab and I start working out next week. I want to be in shape by summer, I'm down to 20% body fat. I feel better than I have in years. I went to Gaand spent easter with Mom and Dad. I got to see John and Hannah, I still havent seen the elusive Brandy and Rob. I hope everyone is doing ok. Michelle when you go on vacation you could stop in and see your brother. I am hoping to come to Ohio soon (it has to be warm first). well time to go.

PESKY......

michael and wesley getting their own place

Hello everybody. Hope that everyone had a good easter. Michael and wesley will be getting their own apt and they are in need of furniture. The only thing that they are going to have is a microwave and dishes and other kitchen stuff. So if anybody has or knows where we can get beds, couch, futons, table and chairs. TV, anything please let me know. my cell # is 513-476-7039 ( I think, Hold on I'll go check)Yep that's it. Or you can call Michaels cell which is 937-312-7631.

Stuff

Ray and I aren't doing much yet--we are still adjusting to not having Amelia @ home--oh, wait--she hasn't REALLY been at home but intermittently for about 2 years. However, we have much more freedom to come and go as we like. She is living near the corner of Wilmington and Patterson (for right now). She has all but stopped going to school. We would like to see her graduate but she is under the spell of a less than ambitious slacker with whom she has been associated over the past 2 years as well. We just say she is in "gypsy mode"--going from here to there, leaving her stuff and getting kicked out of wherever they are when the people living wherever get tired of them sponging . She has had a couple of opportunities to get into some programs to help her get a job, place to live and make some positive changes but can't seem to get away from "Mr. Wonderful" long enough to get anything started. We hate seeing her living like she is but it's her choices that have led her down this path so we're letting her get the results of her choices without benefit of financial assistance from us. We feed her occasionally just to let you know that we're not completely heartless but we're not allowing her to come back home, nor per her, does she want to--so it's working out all around for the time being anyway.
We are going to be working on the house over the next few weeks to convert her room into an office and redo the dining room which had suffered the wrath of the winter with some leaks that have ruined the walls and ceiling.
So that's what's going on here.

Life (and Death) in the Fast Lane
