NEWS FROM SLOVAN, WEIRTON, & HARRISBURG

I REALLY DON'T KNOW IF THERE IS ANY REAL
"NEWS" TO REPORT, BUT HERE'S THE LATEST
FROM OUR PART OF THE COUNTRY:
CHARTEL TOOK US TO LUNCH A SHORT WHILE
AGO, THEN GAVE US A MINI-TOUR OF HER
HOME. THAT NEXT SUNDAY WE WERE BLESSED
TO HAVE HER AT THE HOUSE FOR EASTER DINNER!
SHE'S DOING WELL, FOLLOWING THE PENGUINS'
PURSUIT OF THE STANLEY CUP (RYAN PLAYS
HOCKEY), AND IT APPEARS TO BE THEIR SPORT
TO WATCH.
SHE SEEMS TO BE IN GOOD HEALTH, ALTHOUGH
A CYST INSIDE OF HER IS BEING MONITORED
TWICE A YEAR JUST TO BE SAFE. OTHERWISE,
SHE WORKS REGULARLY, AND TALKED OF
TAKING SUMMER COLLEGE CLASSES SOON.
AS FOR HER "FAVORITE BROTHER", HE'S DOING
WELL, ALSO. HE'S HAD TO GIVE UP PLAYING
SOCCER FOR NOW, AS HIS BACK IS GIVING HIM
SOME PROBLEMS, BUT HE'S DOCTORING, HAD
AN MRI, AND WILL PROBABLY START THERAPY
SOON. LEEANNE GRADUATES FROM MESSIAH
ON MAY 16TH, AND WE'RE STILL WAITING TO
HEAR WHAT HER (AND HIS) PLANS ARE. C.J.
HAS SOME VACATION TIME TO USE UP SOON,
SO WE'RE HOPING HE GETS HOME FOR A DAY
OR TWO.
CINDY AND I ARE FINE. SHE IS BECOMING MORE
ACTIVE IN THE CHURCH HERE, AND I HELP SOME
WHEN TIME PERMITS. SHE DOES HER TWO DAYS
AT THE SHOP, AND I DO MY TWO OR THREE AT
RITE AID STILL, NOT READY TO HANG IT UP YET.
HER GRANDDAUGHTER, CASSIE GRADUATES HIGH
SCHOOL SOON, AND WILL BE ATTENDING OLD
DOMINION UNIVERSITY, HAVING ALREADY BEEN
ACCEPTED IN THE BAND PROGRAM.
I'VE BEEN SHOOTING BASETBALL FOR A HALF
HOUR ON WEEKDAYS WITH OUR POSTMASTER,
A WAY TO GET A BIT OF EXERCISE BESIDES
EXERCISING MY MIND, IMAGINATION, AND
FINGERS AT THIS KEYBOARD. OTHERWISE,
I'M TRYING TO MAKE SOME SMALL IMPROVE-
MENTS AROUND THE HOUSE AND KEEP THE
YARDWORK UP.
MY NEW BLOGPAGE IS AFFILIATED WITH

OUT YET, PLEASE DO. YOU CAN CONNECT TO
IT BY CLICKING ON IT ON THIS SITE'S PROFILE
LINE, OR JUST GO TO "www.speakingforamericans.
blogspot.com". BE CAREFUL - IT'S POLITICAL!!
WE HAVEN'T MADE ANY PLANS FOR THIS SUMMER
YET, BUT HOPEFULLY WILL DO SOME KIND OF
TRAVELLING, EVEN IF IT'S CLOSE TO HOME.
WANT TO CLEAN, PAINT, AND CONTINUE TO DO
THE HOME IMPROVEMENTS NEEDED, SO THAT
WILL KEEP US VERY BUSY FOR A WHILE.
THANKS FOR CHECKING US OUT. HOPE TO TALK
WITH YOU SOON. OUR EMAIL IS STILL
heyrichey@yahoo.com, IF THAT WORKS FOR YOU.

HAVE A GREAT MONTH! GOD LOVES YOU,
AND SO DO WE! THE RICHEYS.

P.S. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT WAS 10 YEARS AGO ON
APRIL 25TH THAT JAYNE "GRADUATED TO
GLORY"!? SHE'S IN A BETTER PLACE, WHAT
WITH WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE WORLD NOW!
