Hello

Where has the time gone? I know I have been away again, but it has been a very very busy couple of weeks, that I don't even know where to begin. My daughter got a job!!!! She started yesterday. My son may have a job by the end of the week. Life is good - they were driving us crazy. You know they say you can always go home but man they don't tell you that if they do come home they will drive you crazy!! Having them there has been nice and bad all at the same time. Because they weren't doing anything (learning to be bums) - they would sleep all day, get up around 2 and then by the time we got home, they were ready to talk and party when all we wanted to was wind down and go to bed. Have to laugh at my daughter - came home yesterday and I started talking her ear off - she tells me - Mom can you give me a few to settle in after working all day? I just laughed and said you sure can but remember about a week ago when I came home and asked you the same thing, you got mad - so shoe is on the other foot now.

We took a week off last week and went to see my Mom and Grandma - both are doing well - I worry about my Grandma - she is getting a little frail - but still just as feisty as ever. It was so nice to go up and see them and get away from the big city. On heart day (Valentine's) we took my in-laws to Galveston for a nice day - it was beautiful. We had a lovely time. We also took a little trip into Lake Charles for some gambling - didn't do good but didn't do bad. On the way there my husband showed me some of the devastation from Hurricane Rita in Beaumont where he worked for several months. It is still a mess there. Houses with tarps on roofs because there is such a shortage of workers. Places back in business and right next store places that will never recover. The trees all bending one way from the wind. It was something to see.

Even though I have not been here in a while - I have been keeping up with everyone and reading y'alls blogs. I am really going to try and blog at least once, if not twice a week. Okay, I have got to get back to the daily grind my friends - blog with you soon - take care and Peace!!!

I'm with you on the kids at home. My girls are 20 and 23, local college and full time job respectively. It can be wonderful and crazy - all at once. Empty nest looks appealing from this view.
