Keeping Up!

Sunday - September 28, 2008

Just a quick note to let the family know what's going with the family in WV!

Mom had a dentist appointment last week for some work on one of her teeth. She gets to go back Tuesday for some more work! They will be numbing this one for her - ouch - she has a filling that has chipped away from the tooth!

Dink is doing better; he has been supervising Bobby working in hay! I'm sure he is gloating about the MU and WVU game. There are a couple of little boys he loves to give a hard time to - they are BIG MU fans!!!!

Rhonda has been busy canning and freezing - I know where to visit this winter!! Actually she has been sharing some of her hard work - ummm good too! On top of all the canning she still works and tries her best to take care of my brother!!! Thank you Rhonda!

Mike has been sick! Something going around - sore throat, achy body, and just plain doesn't feel good! He did say he was feeling a little better today! He missed church today and was missed! He needs to take care of himself - we don't want him end up in the hospital like Dink!

Debbie is on the not feeling well list as well! She went to a church retreat this weekend and had to sleep on a bunk. Her back is not feeling so good right now.

Todd and Meghan are busy with school and work! Todd and Cassie are also working on their wedding plans for May 16, 2009. Yes Dawn, you should be able to remember that date!

Mom and I talked with Laurie on Saturday - we interrupted her doing "homework"!!!! That's right, I said homework. She is taking some online classes. John was so proud of her first set of grades she had received. He called Mom and bragged about her getting A"s. He though it was great that she was taking classes and was doing so well! He was so proud of you Laurie!!

Laurie also told us that JD, Darcie, and the kids would be moving back form Wheeling. They were packing up this weekend! JD already has some job offers! I'm sure Laurie is pleased that they will be closer to her, and I know John is looking from above and grinning from ear to ear and prancing from foot to foot saying I'm glad you're coming home! If JD doesn't watch out, he may find lists of things to do which mysteriously appear from no where! :) (from his dad and papaw)

Bill and Toby kept things together while I was with Mom this weekend. I was with her a little longer because Mike was sick. We had a good weekend together.

Bill and I need to go get the licenses for the car tomorrow. We have been cleaning out closets and drawers of all those things we won't (can't) wear and sending them to the rummage sale where Mom goes to church. Bobby came out last week and took a truck load to the church. (Small truck!) We hope to clean out the kitchen cabinets this week of all the extra things we don't use! We would also like to take the cabinet doors off; paint them white; and put on new hardware. We think it will brighten up the kitchen - it's too dark! We also have some plans for cleaning up the ferns around the house and doing some fall yardwork! Hopefully the weather will cooperate!

David and Jeni were suppose to come into Huntington this week, but their plans had to be changed. We were looking forward to seeing them. Jeni is still sick, but the doctor says she and the baby are doing okay. We just pray that Jeni will soon feel better. We love you guys!

To all who read the blog, we hope and pray a good and safe week for all of you!

ANNNNND to all those WVU fans - wait till next year!!!!
