BRRRRRRRRRRRRR! I don't like cold weather, now
that I'm not into the winter sports activities anymore,
that is unless they're indoors.
Hope you're having a relaxing and enjoyable holiday.
Talked with C.J. last evening, things are going well
with him. His job is fine, he's playing soccer once or
twice a week, his back is not bothering him (P.T.L.!),
and HE'S GETTING READY TO CELEBRATE HIS
23RD BIRTHDAY NEXT SUNDAY, THE 13TH!!
Remember little C.J. riding his bike around the
parking lot, throwing frisbee with Dad, learning to
play tennis, making the high school soccer team
as a 7th grader? How the years fly by, hey? Now
he's grown, smart, independent, and on his own.
I almost wish we could go back and redo those
growing up years, except for some of the trials
and pains, know what I mean?
Ate dinner with Chartel not too long ago, and she
had a glitch in her school funding that she was
working on. Hopefully she got things fixed, as I
haven't talked with her for a couple of weeks.
Had to leave a message yesterday. She's "all
grown up", too, now, turning 20 next month!!
Remember "little Lelly" coloring, writing poems,
playing and "contesting" with her big brother,
"decorating" her room with markers, etc., and
becoming a "big girl" long before she was a
"big girl"?
Talked with Bill & Colleen's Nolan for a while
yesterday - he doesn't like 1st grade-says it's
"boring", though he has a "great teacher"! Huh?
Bill's still "helichoppering" patients to Chicago-
Milwaukee area hospitals, etc., with a 7-day on,
7-day off schedule. Different, but they seem to
be getting adjusted to it. Otherwise, Bryce is now
a teenager, and Garrett is Garrett - growing and
enjoying life as young boys do.
Cindy and I are fine. She goes up to "the shop"
2 or 3 times a week, though it's been more lately
with the seasonal changeover and the sprucing up
of the rooms in the store. She's busily into the
church, what with collecting prayer request slips
Sunday mornings, helping to serve Communion,
giving missions talks to the Sunday School, and
sitting in on the Wednesday Ladies' Bible Study.
I'll be team teaching with the Pastor's wife in the
high school class beginning next Sunday, which
will mean getting up an hour earlier than usual!
Been working too much, needing to help fill in
the schedule for vacations and the transfer of
our assistant manager. Have 5 days and 30-plus
hours this week, but should be able to start
cutting back after that.
Only one more column to print after this week's
"Suggestions For More Summer, Winter, and
Redneck Olympic Games"! Covering the local
high school football games, then resigning from
sports which means that I have to give up my
column writing, too, I've been told. Oh well,
I'll just have to find another avenue for my
"journalistic talents"! Ha-Ha. That is, if there
is anyone that is game enough to take me on!!
I've got an appointment with a throat specialist
on the 21st, then will schedule surgery for my
"lump" shortly after that. Have more labwork
scheduled for next month, so we'll just keep
battling with these "old age" issues. Ha-Ha.
Thanks for reading. Thanks for caring. Always
glad to hear from you. Blessings from Cindy & I.
