Hello everyone, I am here at work once again. It is a beautiful Thursday morning and I have just gotten the call from Laska letting me know that she is now the newest certified nurse in our long family line of nurses. I know that my Grandma Hazel Ball is sooo pleased. With my cousins and aunt also in the field who would have guessed it? Me, all that studying would wear out my brain cells. And I have so few of them to go around. I am so happy for her. Now we keep our fingers crossed that she may hear of a job prospect.. I'm confident she will find where she is intended to be.

Next week is girls camp and I am so excited! It should be fun, so if your time next week is dragging, know that it is just me holding back the hands of time trying to get so much packed into just 5 days. It will be strange tho in 2 weeks, I will be wondering what to do with my time. I guess maybe I will be outside in my garden trying to coax the tomatoes to grow and produce some lovely fruit that I will gladly devour. I will need to get the German zalt. Oh, yummmm.

Darrell is busy with Sears in Moscow and I am not sure if he is enjoying the drive back and forth. He says he loves to drive. But if you ever watch him when he is drousy and trying to drive you would jump out of the way. I'm not saying I want to move or that we are even entertaining the idea. But I know that he is living his dream and I may need to get my glasses back on and see the big picture.

Next weekend Amber and Adyson will be up in Moses Lake and we get to see them on Sunday. I can't wait to see how much she has grown and hear her laugh. Spencer will be talking to me on the phone and I hear her in the background just laughing.. What a wonderful sound. He tells me it is because she knows that I am on the phone. Maybe just wishfull thinking but I will take that.

Christopher is working hard and trying to save his money for school. I hate it when I have to inform him that he needs to pay for something like his phone or the ability to text or what ever. It really bothers him to spend money. It's not that he doesn't want to pay, it's he has a goal in mind and he wants to meet it. Exceed would be wonderful but that is in the Lord's hands.

Dee, I don't get to see him. I pray for him always and love it when he does make contact. But feel he wants his space. Like all my children I want only happiness and health for them. So, please keep him in your prayers.

Okay that is the update on everyone. Me, I am good. Busy with work and camp prep. I am feeling scary good from surgery. The weight loss is going in the right direction and I am enjoying finding all my old clothes that have hung out in totes up in the garage. It's quite fun finding little treasures. I guess that is what it may be like as I get older. Hmmm
