Okay, Sue Me...

I haven't blogged lately. I know, I know, that I should do it more, but things have been a little hectic around here.

Let's start with the boys, as usual... Jason has started his second semester teaching, going well still. Shelley has found a job! She will be a doctor of psychology in Ponoka, at the Centennial Centre for Mental Health and Brain Injury. She was excited about it. She started Jan. 11. Furthermore, they bought a house in Wetaskiwin, AB! It's 2100 sq. ft; ample space to have family over and an unfinished basement to renovate. They both have to commute, but they each will have only about 20 minutes to drive! Their moving date is at the end of January.

Scott, at last email was on the island of Santorini (one of the islands of Greece). He has had some neat adventures so far and has included some of them in his emails. Too many to start talking about them here. They (he and a friend) have plans on staying in Greece for about 2 weeks then back to Rome to travel to Vienna, Austria and beyond. They are hoping to be in Sweden sometime in April or May. Home will be in June (or when the money runs out) for Jason and Shelley's wedding.

My mom is doing very well. She has settled nicely into her Benson Manor senior centre and she's enjoying the people and the activities very much. She's got a few more friends there that help keep her busy.

Deb is still working. She's helping her dad get out of his house and into a senior's centre, hopefully in the near future. She's keeping busy.

Me. Still working. Still trying to get some photography gigs; I've got one in May with another hopeful in late July. My interpreter's job is temporary until June with great hopes that it will turn permanent for me for the next 3 to 5 years. THEN I hope to completely retire (maybe...)

Please, all of you, take care. Try to send us an email and tell us how you're doing. (include pictures if you want!)

Lovingly,

Rene
