I received an email from my mom the other day about my Uncle Roger and my heart sank further! Not good news - I'm sorry Leslie and Melanie, my thoughts are with all of you right now. That had me thinking though that I remember a picture I took of my Uncle Roger several years ago at a family reunion at Melanie's house. If I recall, I think he had just purchased his Harley Davidson motorcycle and he was a "proud papa"!
Enough said, I love you all and please keep me posted!

Busy Time of Year!
Well, I have been pretty much off-line for close to three weeks as I have been working so much on the computer at work that when I get home, I do not wish to look at another computer screen! It is that time of year again, right after spring break, where my life basically eats, sleeps and breaths Oak Hall School! My job deals mainly with the seniors and getting them out the door to colleges, but in the mean time, I am preparing for award ceremonies, gradutaion, end of the year exams, report cards, etc.! Not only with getting detail work done at my day job, Caroline and Matt have their end of the year projects due!
Jim was attending a conference in Orlando from this past Sunday until today and Caroline's big social studies project on Florida is due Friday. One of the items she had to complete was taking a shoebox and making it a float. On the top there had to be three 3-D items that represented Florida. Caroline and I talked about three items and came up with the Everglades and gators (of course), the beach, and the Sunshine State Skyway Bridge. Okay, if you have ever seen this bridge you would know it is beautiful and large. Trying to minimize it for a shoebox seemed to be a challenge. We did it though! The hard part was explaining to Caroline that a glue gun does get hot and the glue does burn you! I can't tell you how many times I would suggest a way to guide her and nothing would work as she would not listen to me! Go figure, a few "ouches" and "hot, hot,hot" before she decided to let me take over the glue gun.
Anyway, I hope everyone is well! I wish my sweet niece, Jentri Leigh, a happy 15th birthday from May 2nd; Dayton a happy 13th birthday from May 1st, and my dad a happy birthday for May 19th!
Wow, before we know summer will be here! CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
