WOW! It's going to be in the 70's today! Hopefully, we have a better growing season this year. Tim has already started on our vegetable garden spot...he's been rotatilling a spot about 90X45 ft in size. Man! We should have quite the crop in the fall! Enough to share with family and friends, too! We've started clearing an area of our property so I can start a new flower bed. Very excited about it!
Work has been going very well. Finally, used to the hours. I work from 3pm to midnight Sunday through Wednesday, and Friday. Have Thursdays and Saturdays off. This weekend I will have Sunday off as well. Taking a float day for Easter Sunday.
Jen and her family are coming over for dinner. No fuss dinner...just ham a dinner. I will be making a cheesecake though. And...if time permits, a treat for the grandkids.
Dad is doing pretty good. He's been battling with a cold, virus for the past few weeks, but is on his way to being healthy again.
Not much else going on. Just the day to day stuff.
Everyone have a Happy Easter!

Man! It's been sooo long still I've written on my Blog! Guess I should since my uncle reminded me!
We have been very blessed this past year with me acquiring a very good job at Charter Communications (cable company) in Grand Rapids at one of their many call centers. I work as a retention specialist, taking phone calls from all over the US from Charter customers. I went through 8 weeks of intense training and now on the floor taking live calls. Didn't know if I would be good at this type of work, but found out that I really like what I'm doing. And... the money isn't too bad either.
Tim is still laid off and looking for work or may be going back to college. He hasn't made up his mind yet what to do because of the stagnate economy that our state and nation are in right now. Really hard for us and many others. Especially since we're pushing closer to the 60 mark.
Our winter has been pretty mild this year, compared to last year. We've only had a couple of snow storms in early December. Already dreaming and thinking about spring and planting the gardens. Can hardly wait to get my hands in the dirt again!
Dad is doing okay for now. He was in the hospital a few weeks ago for a couple of days. His hemoglobin was really low and had to have 2 pints of blood. He also went through a couple of tests. The doctors determined that his stomach was very inflamed and put him on anti acid medications. Between Julie, Tim, and myself we have been busy with Dad regarding his health issues, but we are all doing okay with it.
