Almost Summer...

It's almost 6:00 AM this Tuesday morning. Looks like the weather is going to be warm and sunny today. Will be working outside in the dirt! lol

Tim was called back to work last week. Thank the Lord for his job! The strike with American Axle is pretty much over, but still going over their contract details. Tim has had to adjust again to the daily routine of getting up at 4:00 AM and driving in Grand Rapids with all the road construction. What fun we have! And...with the price of gas these days, have to redo the budget again! Tim is looking into car pooling with someone in order for us to save some money with the increasing gas prices.

Jennie and John are busy with their "tribe". Getting ready for Emily's graduation and open house on June 14th. Will be helping Jen with preparing the food and all.

Joshua is in Nashville, TN going to school and working. Hear from almost every day. He's doing well and making new friends and learning about life on his own.

Angela and Mark are busy as well with Autumn graduating this month. Angela is a stay at home mom with Emma is school, Maggie at home (4yrs), and Nora at 1 yr this past March. Angela has started her "nesting" since the baby "boy" is due in June. She believes "he" will arrive the first part of June instead of around the 20th, her due date. She's doing well...tired and busy, but that's to be expected.

Dad and Helen downed by Sunday evening for a bit. They've been working outside getting the yard and flowerbeds cleaned up from the winter.

And me...well...still looking for a job. Try to keep myself busy around the house with some spring cleaning (really do not like cleaning, but has to be done), and working outside cleaning up the leaves and such from all the trees we have since we live on the edge of a wooded area. Love being outside when weather is good.

Oh yes!!!! We no longer have "Ben". He slipped his collar and ran off and we haven't seen him since. That was 2 weeks ago. Posted pictures and flyers in neighborhood business' of him. We believe someone saw him and took him. He loved to ride in the pickup and was a very friendly dog. So...now we only have Duke, Bubba, and Milo. Our Kids!!!

Picture is of "Bubba" enjoying his busy life style!
