Streeeech

Well here we are the 27th, and the loads have beeen real slow. so About 1:15 I got a call from the bosses daughter who runs a limo service. It seams that the weather caused the air traffic to be stacked up and the planes that were doo in on the day after christmas were all delayed till the next day. Well she had schedualed limo service for the two days. Instead all of the corporate Jets came in yesterdqay. She didn't have enought drivers and was calling all of the truck drivers from Brach to help. I ended up driving a strech town car to aspen with a couple and their two children. They came in in the largest cessna citation Jet that cessna makes. It can carry 18 people and they came in on it with just the four of them. Can you believe that it probably cost them 20,000 to fly from LA to Grand Junction. Then it cost them another 600.00 for the limo to Aspen. While we were driving up to aspen he was on his satilite phone almost the whole way. That is a lifestyle I just don't understand. When e got to aspen he told me the directions to thier "Little Vacation home" When we got their it was all lite up. I mean every lite in the place was on and all the rooms had a 50" plasma TV in them and turned on. The place was about 5 or 6,000 sq. feet. "Just aa little place." I just can't phathom that kind of money. Oh well. I should have gotten a picture of me and the streeeeeeeach. It was long.

Well Merry Christmas each and every one of you. We have had a very busy year and it doesn't seem possible that it Christmas all ready.
Jerilyn is enjoying retirement an is staying very busy with the grand children and with the work she is doing at church.
I am still running way too many miles and with the uncertainity at the office it can be a little disconcerting. I am hoping that within the next couple of weeks thing will sort out.
We spent thanksgiving in Ouray in a condo we rented and it had hot tubs and we really had a good time.
Brian and Bekah have been taking music lessons they just had their recital, and both have done really well.

Well it has been a long time since we posted. We have been very busy. We went to Tenn with the whole family in march, then we went to a family reunion for Jerilyn's uncle in June. In between I have been working hard to pay for the next trip. We have also been digging and putting in a sprinkler system in the front of Staci's house. Inbetween we have been busy a chu8rch. Our Pastor moved in april, and so that put extra worrk on the rest of the leadership i n the church. We just this last weekend interviewed a prospective pastor and it looks like he will be coming, but not until Sept. or Oct. He is a young man and he is full of enthusiam. Yesterday we worked out at the school getting it ready for the upcoming school year. I spent a good portion of the day pulling weeds, Yuck, But it needed doing. Jerilyn spent the day washing walls and talking with Lamornia. Her husband said he was working next door and didn't hear a second of silence from the next room. I can believe that. We have put about 7000 miles on our 5th wheel this year so far and will probably use it a few more times this year. We are sure glad we got it. Jerilyn's washer was about to die so Sat. evening we went to Home Depot and purchased a new washer and dryer wich Jerilyn is looking forward too. The old ones were about 20 yrs old and had about used up all of their useful life. We got Maytag front loaders. They were rated #2 in consumers report, We really wanted the LG units but they were about a 1000 more and we didn't feel we could justify that expense. The kids and grandkids are doing well and we sure enjoy them. We wish we could see the Tenn contingent more often but I guess we are paying the price for moving west. Oh well. So long for now LP

Welllllllllllllllll folks take a deep breath and sit down. We are really blogging and still alive and kicking. We started this page for the purpose of letting everyone know where we were and what we were seeing when we went on our color tour of the east coast. As most of you know this did not happen since Larry ended up in the hospital in ICU for several days then on floor care for several days then on out patient iv's for several weeks. But all is well now. He is back at work and I am working prn and looking after grandchildren whenever I can. Larrys foot will probably never be the same again and I will be better as soon as the hospital bill is completely paid.
We will be taking some trips this spring which I am really looking forward to. We will keep you posted when we go and what we do. We will try to keep everyone more up to date from here on out.
Is everyone still ok? I know this is quite a shock to everyones system. Hang in there everything will be all right. I promise.
