It's me again, Margaret
Mood:  chatty
Sorry I haven't posted anything in the last two weeks. I've become highly addicted to Neopets, and am spending far too much time doing that than anything else. But, at least I'm staying out of trouble, right? Let's see, what's happened since the second...
On August 7th, Jim and I attended the Vaughn Family Reunion at TahaZouka Park in Norfolk. It was good to see some of the more distant relatives, and some I hadn't met yet. The food was good, but we didn't win any of the door prizes. Oh well. Some excitement when it came to picture taking time, as Jerry's girlfriend tried to decide whether she was welcome in the picture. Maybe she's starting to get the hint that the rest of us don't like her very much.
August 8th, Jim has moved to third shift with me, saving us at least $150 in gas each month because we only have to drive one vehicle. Yay! The prodigal employee Mandy has returned and taken over Jim's former shift.
August 9-14, work, eat, sleep, repeat.
August 15th, Jim's 11yr old son Robert comes to visit for a couple of days. Jess gets burned out of the mommy scene after 4 hours. (Thank God I'm not pregnant. That on top of preteen trauma would probably drive me over the deep end.)
August 16th, bad news from the East Coast. Jim's adoptive father Steve Roy has colon cancer, and it's spreading to his liver. Keep him in your prayers.
August 17th, Jim takes Robert to his first day of 6th grade in Wayne. Jess and Jim meet back at home and collapse into a 5 hour long power nap. We did a couple loads of laundry, had supper, then took a drive out to Grove Lake. Saw an elderly gent there who was on the tail end of a 5 day camping trip. He'd caught 30 decent sized crappie yesterday. He said that should be enough fish to last him and his wife through the winter. I like fish now and then, but not THAT much... :)
Well, that's about all the news that is news up here in Lake Wanahakalugi. See ya next time.
