Laddie and Mary Alice

Nashville

Hi to all, just wanted to give an update for Nashville.

Generally we are all doing good, Maxine wants you all to know that she is the healthiest one here. Actually she is doing really good, she is getting along well, and is eating pretty good too.
She is getting her sun on the back deck, even when it was so hot she would go out and sit for about 45 minutes to and hour. She would like to hear for everyone, please send cards or give her a call she loves cards and or notes, she will show them to us several times before she puts them away. She would like news about all of the family and what they are doing.

Sheila is doing okay, she still has her pains and headaches, I guess that will be with her always. But she has a pretty good attitude with all that she deals with. She is still working and commuting about 45 minutes one way, the drive gets her down but she has been with that company for so long, it would be almost impossible for her to change jobs and get the same pay.

I'm still selling for US Foodservice, I guess I will retire from there, it would be hard to find a new job at this stage in life. Health wise, I think I am doing pretty good. The cancer is still in remission, but I still have to take test (blood test) and annually I take a CT Scan, so far I'm clear, next blood test is in September.

Josh and Leanne are just a few months from adding to their family, I think their counter has them down to about 100 days to go. (but who's counting) we are all excited for them and when little Palmer gets here they will have to watch her, Sheila is ready to hold her forever.

Serah and family are doing good, Steve is working and going to school, he is putting in a lot of hours with both, but it will pay off in the end.
Eli is now an official 3rd grader, they started about 2 weeks ago, he seems to like it again this year, which is good.

Hope everyone else is doing good, we would like to hear how Dora is doing. Paul we need an update on the Tour of Missouri, or the Tour De Corn, as well as family.

Max, I heard you can write your name in the snow, does it snow in Bakersfield or will you have to go to the mountains to write your name, just wondering?

Please let us know how Gary is doing, sorry we missed Greg and family when they came through Nashville recently.

Larry did you ever retire?

Laddie, give us an update on the new job, how do you like it etc.

Later
Roy

I have a new blog

My best friend from high school (Gary) & I have started a new blog as he is a very good writer and we like to discuss thought provoking things. Sometimes out posts may be dumb and goofy and other times they will be very serious and sometimes over my own head. One of the posts is already a challenge to even read, because of Gary's vocabulary. I encourage any and all of you to check out the blog, bookmark it & please comment on the posts, good or bad. We are very seriously thinking of turning what comes out of this blog into a book in the future. We already have 20+ posts Gary has written. Now, I'll be joining him & he will continue to write. Any thoughts will help us. Thanks guys!
