there are times in your life when -
for one reason or another-
you are forced to take a strong look at the things that are
REAL and Important.
This week we have all experienced that with the
passing of our friend Nick Byers.
As much as his death saddens all of us it also should give
cause to each and every one of us to stop and reflect about
our daily lives and experiences.
What are we really upset about ?
Why do we bicker/argue & fight ?
Why all the stress and the worry ?
What is the big deal ?
Appreciate one another- appreciate our time together-
ENJOY LIFE-
it is so often
too short.

Sympathy
Sending deepest sympathies to the Byer's family
as they mourn the sudden loss of son Nick.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to you
and to the kids at Liberty Union as they

Rest in Peace Nick.

Looking forward to some sunshine
So glad to see the signs of spring...
the grass is green-
the tree's are in bud-
the birds are singing-
and ofcourse all of the idiots are out driving 35mph in a 55mph zone
in the middle of the afternoon when THEY don't have a thing to do but
drive around and enjoy the sunshine.
WELL---
some of us do have JOBS.
We have to go to work.
We have places to be...and it is difficult to get there when you're
going 35mph....
Enjoy the sunshine.
Tomorrow it looks like rain.

LOTS OF NEWS!!!!!
so much is going on.....
tonite is the big opening night performance of Liberty Union High Schools
Seussical the Musical
lots of schools put on this type of performance each year--but for us -this is quite the event- I think the last time there was a musical/play/drama performed at the high school--it was atleast three- maybe 4 years ago.
so for these kids- a great opportunity. they have worked very hard and are extremely excited.
personally, I can hardly wait to shove my BIG hind-end into one of those very small, old wooden theatre seats that we have in our very out-dated auditorium.
oh yea.
and....
Robby is well- lovin' the surf and sun of Hawaii. although wished his work-time was more "military"--less "boring"-- not alot to do as a new marine until his unit returns from Afghanistan in april--then he will return with them(to AFGH) in november. but until then-- "HURRY UP AND WAIT"--welcome to the military,rob.
Ian is good. a man of few words. not much to say. healthy. happy. good.
Shelly...Shelly...Shelly...we sure do love Shelly.
Chelsey -- now 20-- made the decision to move in with her boyfriend-- and his parents.He is currently unemployed. nuff said.
Corinne just received word that she has rec'd enough scholarship/grant money to pay for her first year at Miami Univ. with $ to carryover to her 2nd-- with more interviews yet to go ! good job Cori ! now she doesn't have to stand on the sidewalk and wave at the "real" students inside the classrooms--she can be one too.
and on we go--
hope you are having a good week.

Today
Today was a great day for family.
My oldest daughter Chelsey came home today and
Matt, Corinne, Ian, Shelly, Chelsey and I went to see
Grandma at the nursing home for lunch.
It was a really nice visit.
We laughed.
Mostly because Grandma was always talking about
something other than what the rest of us were talking about and
it made for really funny conversation-
but it was also nice to be
together even if it was for a short time.
So tomorrow is another day-
back to work and school.
Everyone is so busy.
But hopefully they will all remember
today.
