Family Update

Nothing major has really happened for awhile now, but I thought perhaps a little family update might be helpful for some. I know it's not Christmas :-). So either consider this very early or considerably tardy :-D.



Grandpa: Retired from Wal-Mart in spring of 2008. He enjoys not having to keep track of time :-) and is often heard to say that those in retirement don't need a watch or calendar :-) - though he still wears a watch, perhaps from old habit. He finds great enjoyment in tending the vegetable garden.



Grandma: Earlier this year she was down to 72 pounds and is now gratefully up to 80! She was blessed by several cards & drawings for her birthday back in February. She enjoys watching game shows. However if you should ever come by for a visit, she would love to talk to you. You might have to hear the same story 4 or 5 times in the same setting, but that's all right she will appreciate the attention. If you ask her, she might even bring out her harmonica!



Mom: Is unfortunately losing her vision. She is in the process of cross training her service dog, Shelley, for vision assistance. She enjoys listening to audio books and radio dramas. She is also ever learning new things on her Mac at the weekly classes she takes.



Jeremiah: Is currently looking for a job. His car, unfortunately is on it's last legs. He enjoys playing computer games, reading, and target practice.



Crystal: Is forever trying to find time to accomplish everything at once - house chores, assisting Grandpa with the garden, taking Mom to the places she needs to go, cooking, decluttering, sewing, hobbies, etc..... She enjoys many hobbies and is ever trying to figure out how to squeeze everything she wants to do into one day :-) If only there were more hours in a day...... :-D



Shelley: Mom's service dog who just turned 4 at the beginning of April. She enjoys laying on the deck swing, playing with her toys, but best of all being petted & cuddled!
