Gosh it's good and bad to see all the familiar names still here.  I haven't
been checking any of the messages for almost a year now...or maybe even
more.  I only have 20000 messages to go through.  I did catch a glimpse of
Amy being preggers?????  Tell me it's true!  And Firechief still sending out
his jokes and news clips.  Thanks Joe.  Read a few and giggled.

Well, a little about my doings.  Been working as a bartender for the last
year.  I love it.  4 nights a week almost kill me though but it's still
manageable.  I've joined a singles group and have been walking on Monday
nights, breakfast Sunday mornings and earlier this month we spent a couple
of days at Wallowa Lake Oregon.  Rented a cabin and did some hiking, hot
tubbing and just general fun.  There were 13 of us.  I pulled my son out of
school in April and am home schooling.  Still cleaning one or two houses
every other week and have one bookkeeping job still going.  For the most
part, my health has been really good the last year.  I have my days when I
get overloaded and have to spend way too many hours in bed cause I can't
move. But all in all, I can't complain too much.  With winter coming
on....maybe I'll be able to spend more time on the puter.

My son and I have been doing a lot of "running" around.  We've been to
Newport Oregon, Seattle a couple of times, and just take off and go for the
day.  It's kind of nice that he is not in school right now.  My days off are
Monday and Tuesday and we can just do the Mom and son thing.  lol  He hates
it at times cause I get him in the car and make him talk to me.  He is
almost 15.  Can't believe he is that old already.

I'm off to dinner with friends.  Have a Happy Halloween!
