HAPPY BIRTHDAY MINDY!!!!!!

Hey Gal, I'm sorry this is a day late but HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! Love ya, Jody

Mom

I had to take my Mom to the ER last night around 12:30. She has carpal tunnel in her left wrist and it flaired up so badly that she couldn't stand it. The ER doc gave her a strong pain med and a shot of steroids, and I took her home with me. She said that 'strong' pain shot wore off in no time and she didn't sleep much. She is hurting bad again today and is attempting a nap. I'll take her home in a while.
She can't get into her doctor til Aug. 12th, so she might be miserable for a bit. Just wanted to keep ya'll posted. I'll let you know how she's doing.

Happy Birthday, Jennifer

Jennifer,
I hope your day is a good one. Hugs to the men in your life.
Love,
Candy

This is Keri reporting from JoAnn's computer again.

Hi this is Keri on my Mom's computer. She just lost her dog, Angel today when a neighbor hit her with the car. Mom's ok, just a bit sad. Angel was a royal pain but Mom enjoyed her. We just got back from 'taking care' of her, and I think Mom's worn out.
Sorry this isn't pleasant, but it's something I wanted ya'll to know, since alot of you have met Angel.
One thing is certain, Angel died happy. Mom rescued her. She was left for dead and almost starved out in the country and Mom took her in, fattened her up and showed her love. She was a tad too feisty for me, but she was a cute little thing and kept Mom company. She will be missed.
RIP Miss Angel...
Keri

So, what's going on?

No one has been 'blogging' much lately...so I'm going to start again by filling you all in on my family's goings on....(try not to fall asleep)

I'm not working at the bank anymore.When Eden had her wreck, they were extremely rude and hateful to me, making a bad time worse than it was and should have been. That weekend, Floyd had to leave for who knew how long to work in North Dakota and I wasn't 'well'. He told me that my happiness was worth more to him that the little amount of money I made and so I quit. Honestly, I've never been happier.
Floyd has been home for a week, and has to leave out again Monday morning to go back to North Dakota. He may be there another two weeks, but who knows?
Eden is settling into life at DeVry. She has a bus pass, some good friends and is still looking for a job. (Anyone know anyone in Irving who'd hire her? LOL)
Nick (not Nicky, NICK) is doing well. He will being his freshman year of high school this year. He was going to be a Graham Steer, but has since changed his mind and is now more interested in theater. I love it. He does impressions and is very funny. I think that he'll be super at it.
Madison starts jr. high this year. She is nervous about it, but I'm sure she'll do great. At the moment, she wants to be a songwriter.
Buzz, (the rat terrier), our youngest is well. He was terribly upset when his Daddy was gone for two weeks, but after their reunion, he seems like his old self. It won't last since his Daddy is leaving again Monday.
I'm still running my websites and having fun with them. I've rediscovered cooking is a passion. I'm having tons of fun making huge meals for my family. They are loving it too.
Hope you are all well.
Keri

THE SUZY!!!!!!!

Did all of you guys get the word that Suzy has been "retired" and will not have a computer till they get one at home? Suzy found out about it yesterday morning and just had time to get the word out before they shut her computer down. She is very, very happy about all this - she was going to leave in January if not laid off before so she was thrilled to be laid off and get severance pay for 6 months. GOOD FOR HER!!!!! She told me this morning that in all the years she had worked there, there has been 33 layoffs. Goodness!! She is relieved and glad she doesn't have to worry about it any more. They came to Graham Saturday morning, bringing Eden with them. Wasn't that sweet!!! Eden had wanted to be here for her Daddy's birthday. We thank them for letting her come with them. God bless family!!!!! Let's all hope Suzy gets her computer soon - she'll go crazy not being in touch!!!!!! Love to you all, Jody
