Hooray for Mark!!!

Mark was offered a teaching job at Dandridge Middle School. He starts tomorrow. Yesterday we celebrated with dinner at Texas Road House. The food was tasty, and we all had a good time.

Happy New Year 2012!

Laddie and I wish you a happy new year. We hope 2012 will be a great year filled with many good things. There are so many happenings from last year that didn't get posted. Melba fell and fractured her back. She spent almost 3 weeks in the hospital and a rehab facility. She's home now, but must have someone with her 24 hours a day. That means I'm at her house for the night shift (4:30 pm to 8:00 am) and the weekends. We are trying to find additional help, but it's been difficult. I go back to work on Wednesday so dad will have to do the 5:30am-to 8:00am shift. Wish us luck.
