HERE'S THE LATEST FROM SLOVAN, WEIRTON, AND HARRISBURG

Good day, friend! I know it's been a while (Feb. 16th was
the date of the last update) but here's a bit of catching up.

All are well, PTL! C.J. was in for a couple of days early
last week, spending some of his vacation here, which we
enjoyed and were thankful for. Chartel just met us for
dinner at a local eatery a couple of hours ago, and it was
good to see her and do some catching up as well.

Both are doing fine. C.J. is still searching for that right
job, hopefully using his Spanish skills and education,
and he's rethinking the possibility of getting his teaching
credentials.
Chartel is unsure of her career path, but is still taking
live and online courses to get her "somewhere"!? She
talked about summer courses, but can't decide what
she wants to do or be when she completes her studies,
if ever.
C.J. and I both got different cars recently, he a Saturn,
an '04 or '05, with low mileage, gunmetal blue/silver,
and I an '02 Hyundai. Both are nice looking, economical,
and inexpensive vehicles, but both were much-needed.
I'll be working a while longer to pay mine off, as the
budget doesn't allow for cars. We expect that we'll be
able to have it all paid for by the end of the year, then
seriously contemplate "retirement"
Cindy is keeping quite busy, what with going up to
the shop at least 3 days a week, serving on the board
at church, setting up and preparing for special church
functions, etc. And, of course, she does an excellent
job of doing the household chores, with "limited" help
from me, of course.
I'm working for the Census Bureau again, this time as
an assistant crew leader as well as helping those who
didn't return their forms from earlier. Did training
last week in addition to 20-some hours at the store,
so was plenty tired come today.
Behind on my blogs, and "feeling it", especially when
there's so much to say and write about. As soon as
the schedule lightens up, "I'll be back!".
KEEP IN TOUCH. ALWAYS GOOD TO HEAR FROM YOU.
GOD'S BEST TO YOU AND YOURS. LOVE, the Richeys.

P.S. I didn't forget - I couldn't forget. Last Sunday, the
25th of April, was the 11th anniversary of Jayne's
"homegoing" as we Christians say. Sometimes it seems
like yesterday, and sometimes it seems like a century
ago. So much has happened since then. Her legacy
continues on in her children. She's enjoying the glories
of Heaven, where we pray you and we all will be -
SOMEDAY!
