Well Chad is mostly moved. He was able to get a truck from Ryder with a lift in the back and that made things easier. On Saturday we moved most of the stuff from inside the duplex where he was staying. Then on Sunday he moved tools, tool boxes, etc. He has the rest of this week off to move miscellaneous items and get unpacked. After seeing how old his dryer and his oven were, I asked him if he regretted buying that old truck with the $1000 of money I gave him as sort of a house warming gift – Nope, he was happier with the old truck…. Still I plan to do this with the other kids when they buy their first house and I will buy new items instead of handing over cash. So far both Chelsea and Joe are getting good grades this school year. Chelsea is trying to get the position of treasurer for this new club that they have at school for medical technology students. She feels that she has a good shot at it. Also she is working on being part of the quiz team for school. She said that they may tape the show later in October. She thinks that she will be one of the ones selected to be on the panel. That’s the good news. The bad news is that the quiz team goes against Oakwood – who have won this several times. Joe is having fun with FFA this year. Also he is thinking of trying for band. I think that there is a girl that he likes in band and that is why he wants to join. But I would be happy with him doing that. We are prepping for our hunting trip to Kentucky. Joe wants to really rough it – making a home made tent with a tarp like they did in the old days. But I am going to be more practical, using a regular tent. If a cold front moves in, I don’t want the wind blowing in on me all night. Vanessa and the baby stopped in last weekend. Eric had a golf outing and banquet with his work in Cincinnati. So Vanessa tagged along and drove on up to our place to stay overnight. Baby was a little fussy at first from getting shots and being in a new house I think. She settled down and played and coo’ed with Chelsea. Vanessa is thinking about shifting gears and getting an assistant nursing certificate. She hasn’t decided for sure yet. She got exceeds all in most of her ratings at work, but the max pay raise was 4%. So she was disappointed with that.
