Susan just got a job (seasonal) with the City of Novi (where Linda works) reading water meters for the summer! Hopefully that will look good on her resume for when she is trying to find a full time job!!!

SPRING THOUGHTS


It has been too long since I've posted anything on here, so thought I would get in and see what pops up in my head!!! First thing is that Lisa has moved out of Michigan (again) and is living in Colorado. She moved the day before Easter and got in to Estes Park on Easter night. She starting working in the Rocky Mt. National park on her 25th birthday (April 18th). She had a good first week. I am hoping that a permanent position comes her way before October because she does not want to come back to Michigan, I should rephrase and say she is not coming back to Michigan, and I'd love for her to find something permanent with BENEFITS!!!! We plan to take a vacation out to see her this summer. Last time I went I wasn't feeling well and could have had a better time if I was doing better (it was the week before I got my gall bladder out!!).
So, what else is new??? Hmmm - Linda is still working for the City of Novi. She has her own apartment (I think that was in a previous blog!). Susan is STILL with the Humane Society for now. Matt is double rostered in hockey for the spring. He is playing for his High School Junior Varsity Team (he is currently in 8th grade). He also plays for the travel team he has been with the last 2 years. We are enjoying it even though it takes up a lot of time......it's still lots of fun!
Susan and I went to Mt. Pleasant (2 hours away) to the Soaring Eagle Resort and Casino on Thursday and Friday last week. I was up $150 at one time, but figured it wasn't enough that I could retire on, so I went ahead and kept gambling - - I lost the $150 and then some! Susan broke just over even - - - she made about $5 on the trip!
Other than that, Matt will be making his Confirmation on May 9th - he turns 14 years old on May 6th!
My new job is doing OK. I actually got a little promotion effective May 1st. I don't even know what my new title is, if there is one :) I was called an "Engineering Information Coordinator", so they may just keep that title. I basically ship things to Japan and track things coming in to Ford from Japan (Yamaha) and when we send them. I also track warranty information from Mazda.....and I do some administrative things like sending out meeting notices, agenda's and minutes and also coordinate overtime, foreign and domestic travel.....and miscellaneous stuff that comes up. It keeps me busy :)
Well, it's time for bed - - - 10:25 PM and I get up at 4:20am, so better get going!
Until next time . . . . . . . . . .
