Well, I never went away, I just haven't been posting. So, today I thought I would bring everyone up to date. Life has been going smoothly for me lately so there was no drama to post for everyone to enjoy. Work has picked up and I am happily busy and it is now my favorite time of year. Next weekend, Ceil and I are going to visit her mother in ( Read more... )

Just a little update on my well being. I haven't posted lately and maybe someone out there would like to know what's going on here. Summer came and went hot and fast. Looking forward to a nice hurricane free fall. Son moved to Arizona to live with his sister. Hope that works out. And my daughter told me the other day that she will be in the ( Read more... )

One would think that their own family would keep them informed if something bad was occurring in the family. Or am I way off base with this? I was looking at my son's girlfriend's my space page. (I am on her friends list) I noticed she changed the title to Sarah's going to Arizona. This was a shock. So I called my daughter in Arizona to see if ( Read more... )

I just have to shake my head in wonder. I am dumbfounded. Last night, the boy, tells me just before I go into the bedroom for the night that he needs gas in his windowless car to get to work in the morning. So I say, "nice of you to wait until bedtime to tell me" He says that if I give him my bank card, he will go himself. I said, "NO!" So, I ( Read more... )

Here at work things are tense. I have three projects that are due this month. One has to be completed by Monday and my contractor is still waiting on materials. On another, a final inspection was scheduled for this morning and none of the government personnel showed up for the inspection, so I had to cancel it. I have requested another ( Read more... )

This weekend was suppose to be relaxing and happy because my sister and her family was coming down from Pennsylvania for the first time in over twenty years to stay at my brother's house. We went to my brother's for a picnic Saturday afternoon. My son and his daughter came down later to see my sister. (My sister had never seen my granddaughter) ( Read more... )

I went to my high school reunion the end of June and we had the dinner on a tour boat in the rivers around the city. Here are a couple of photos that I managed to get up to the photo holding place so they can be posted. Hold on a minute while I call my wife and see how to post these things under a cut........... wish me luck.

Hello everyone in LJ land. Sorry I have not been posting or commenting. I have been "out of it" for a while. I have been reading all your posts but it seems that I have not time to comment or post. I have been very busy at work and at home. Work is hectic because some of my contractors are not performing as per their contracts and it is ( Read more... )

The boys are at it again. Number one son wants to go back to Jersey to see his girl. Her father left an ominous message on my wife's cell phone last night and she will be calling him back sometime today. He wants to go this weekend and I figure it will cost him over $400 which is more than he brings home in a week. Plus the fact that my wife ( Read more... )

I guess the boy is learning about the after effects of his drug use the hard way. His girlfriend in New Jersey apparently overdosed on heroin yesterday. Her parents found her yesterday morning unconscious in her bedroom and had her rushed to the hospital. She is okay but says she doesn't remember what happened. Her parents just spent $20,000.00 ( Read more... )
