Good news / Bad news ...

I owe Anne some pictures so I made this collage of 2008 family pictures.

Tueday evening, Lila, Mark and I had dinner at Jim and Linda Hill's house. Their son Adam has just graduated with a masters in history and may start a PhD and Indiana U. Adam and his wife have a brand new baby. Her daughter Meghan is teaching high school drop-outs in Texas and her husband is a teacher. The younger son, Nathan, is in college.

When I got home from work on Tuesday the neighbor lady called me over to her porch and told me that her (80+ year-old) husband, Chet, had died in his bed very early Wednesday morning. Her family was at the house.

Last night the president said that the gov't has to spend $700B to buy up failed mortgage businesses to stave off another Great Depression. SO much for the rugged-capitalist Republican party. Socialism marches on.

It's September ...

Good morning to all. I haven't logged an entry for over a month. Well, now summer is over. MCW is evidently coping in school while LCW works at Doctor's office and I work at Honeywell. I called AMR two weeks ago and I promised to send her family pictures (but haven't done it yet). Kit-Cat in the basement, has been using the dirt under the house for kitty litter and now I need to stop this and clean it up. The racoon family in the attic appears to be gone but I still need to patch two holes in the roof. The reminents of Hurricane Ike came through about ten days ago.

LCW plans to go to California in October with Doctor for a conference. LCW is also extremely pleased with MCW's recent Senior photo portraits.
