hi everyone don't know if anyone bothers to reas my sight but thought i would say hi to all.Said to say that their is not much happening here in Yakima other then beiing cold and sick of winter.We are all doing fine here Don still isn't smoking so i think we can say that he is done with that  i  am so thrilled for his health and of course the money we are saving.Like i said life is pretty boring here so tata

Things are pretty slow now that christmas is over,still have the tree up and decoration's out probably start taking stiff down next week.Also wanted to let everyone know that Don still is not smoking he hasn't had one since dec.13.He is very determind to quit.and doing a great job of it.

Hi everyone,as you know from Joyce that Don is trying to quit smoking he is doing so good i told him i was proud of him, he says he is pretty proud of himself to.He got some pills from the Doctor for 3 days you take 1, then the next 3days you take 2, then on the 7th day you don't smoke.During that 6 days he had maybe a pack altogether.He isn't to snarly i sure you all know what a big step this is for him.We came through the wind pretty good here never lost power had some high winds and gust and just blew things around here.Weather was weird yesterday here anyway it snow about 1 1/2 inches then it was pretty nice after two then about 10 is when we got our wind.

Hi would like to thank everyone who sent me a Happy Birthday message,Had anice one Don took me out to lunch went and had teryaki it was great they always give you enough for two so you can have some later.Finally got my tree up and al my Christmas stuff out i must say it looks pretty good.Got most of my shopping done have a few more things to get what i need to do is wrap what i got so it won't take me for ever.It is finally warming up to melt the snow that we got after Thanksgiving i am done with winter and it offically not here until the 21st,but then in the summer i was complaining cause it was to hot oh well.Take care love to all

 

Hi today is my 37th wedding ann. imagine that lot of people didn't think we could do it even us .Don got me a real nice pots and pan set from costco expensive set but i wanted one after his mom got one nice and heavy set he also got me the Hallmark Christmas SNowman and penquins you might have seen it advertised it is so cute.  Had a real nice Thanksgiving went to Don's mothers his brother Kevin came in from La that was nice he was able to come and go with getting stuck between snows.Right now we have about 4 inches been snowing all morning looks so prettywell i think i will put out some more xmas stuff

hi thought i would change the background this is the only way i want snow.Not much happening told joyce i wouldtry to do better.Yeaterday i went with Don's mom to Bimart to get a battery for her watch while she was doing that i was looking at DVD's got Legaly Blonde for $5 and the Last Castle for 7.88 that is a surprising good movie Robert Redford is in it ,plays a highly decorated Soldier was sent to this military prison and relized that there is alot of unexplained deaths under this warden there. it's hard to explain it's one of those movies that you wind up watching and actualy enjoyed it.Don went to see his career counsler that is one big joke but oh well you have to comply.I can't believe it is middle of November were did the summer go, now got to think about Christmas be putting up the tree soon.It is very strange at not having my mother -in-law next door we have new neighbors a woman with a 10 year old daughter so far seems fairly quite.Mom was probably louder she was forever slamming the cupboards or the backdoor guess it dosen't bother you if it is some one you know gotta go

Hi well i started my day off early for some strange reason i thought today was the 30th and if i would have bothered to look at the calendar i would have seen that my doctors appointment was not tell monday felt kind of dumb. Ask Karla how many people do that come in on the wrong day or time.Went to Richland and seen my neice Saleena and her kids she is doing great ,hadn't seen them for awhile not since they moved from yakima.trying to look around for a twin bed for Haylee she has out grown her toddler bed time to give it over to her brother Ryelee.

Hi well i am back home now, had a nice two weeks with mom sure is nice to see her back to her old self.It sure is nice to be home i enjoy my self when i am in Kingston and i miss everyone when i'm not there.I miss the blue skies over here which it is mostly Heather knows what i mean it never stays cloudy for long.Now that i am home got alot of catching up to do went to the store yesterday oh well love to all

Hi it was so nice to see everyone at mom's Birthday Joyce & Lanny have the perfect place it did not seem like their was around fifty  people.I also want to thank Tara,Karlaand Amanda for the work that they did also the flowers were beautiful.What can i say about Candice her and Ron did a great job mom just loved it.WE had a great time wrecked Don all that standing but said it was worth it.thanks again to all those that were there

Hi all been busy the last few weeks we have been helping Don's mom with her trailer Don, mom, have been helpingg getting the carpet out so she can get the new stuff in.She is  counting the day's so she can move in.Don went to see his vocational counselor they are planning to send him back to school for some training first he will be taking math classes,then teach him to read blue prints now we wait for L&I to approve it other then that we wait

Hi everyone i guess it has been awhile i shall try to do better since i do enjoy reading everyone else's but you know how it is.We got a nice surprise yesterday Don's sister Sandi and her husband Steve who live in Texas they were on their way to Everett Steve is going to be at Boeing's for the next 6 month they brought there trailer up for him to live in while he is here Sandi has to go back in a couple of day's.My mother in law bought her self a trailer in a 55 and older park so she won't be living next door i will miss her.Things are settling Down with L&I for awhile any way thatit for today tata

Hi thought i would do an update and let everyone what's been going on.L&I finally did something Don has been reinstated and all back pay with interest.Not that we will get it all but thankfuly we had a good Lawyer people praying for us and of course God's help also without  Don,s mom we would as the saying goes up a creek,but now we can pay her back the money she loaned us.Right now we are not sure exactly what L&I has in mind but they got a vocational counsler again to see about more training or what .have wait for them as usual
