John's graduation
I'm sorry, but with John's graduation being on a Wednesday, I am not going to be able to come out. At work, I am not going to be able to work that out, unless weather becomes a factor with rain. We have been hashing over the October graduation and the drive to South Carolina. That is a possibility. Diane, any guess on whether you think you could get up there?

June 7
I just got back from my conference. Had a real nice time. Met a lot of people. While I was gone Benjamin chipped a lower front tooth. They didn't call me because they didn't want me to worry. Fortunately, it's minor, and the dentist just needs to restore some enamel. Whew, I dread dental emergencies with the kids. That's the third one in a year!
Yes, John's date is June 7. Jeanne

Good to see you post !!
Why do you feel like you took a different route? How did you do it?
I remember the days........ except it was baseball and softball all summer long.
What fun to see the taping and stuff. So how does the new house look?
Mom and Dad are back from Wayne's. Just a quick trip up to get some furniture to bring back. Up Monday and back last night. Nothing new on the job situation yet.
I am keeping Dad on the AARP's where he is at. On their med list, some of Dad's meds are not on the formulary and it would mean cutting back on his medical coverage to save any money. I have went over everything with them, I know it is not saving them any money on his meds, but I don't feel they can afford to be without the coverage that pays 100% of his medical copayments. Of course all the people their age are discussing it among themselves and comparing. I have told them, yes some of those people may have cheaper medical insurance, but Mom and Dad pay no out of pocket expenses on medical and that is important for Dad. Some of those people are only telling half of the story. But they do understand and what we are going to do is fine with them.
Other than that things are quiet here right now. When it warms up, we will be making some trips to Hillsdale to sell off some more stuff, maybe in a couple of weeks. I would like to get some rabbits for the kids for Easter to keep at our house. That should be fun. Dad and I were checking them out when we were there the other week and making plans.
Jeanne, I need you to get back with us about John's graduation, for sure that it is on a Wednesday ????? Let me know soon.

News from sunny south Florida
I feel like I took a different route to make a message on the blog. I hope you get this. It sure was depressing reading about all the snow up there, it cooled off to about 60 here so we heated the pool last week-end and had a bon fire!!!!!!!!!! The usual gang was here. We roasted marshmellows and made s'mores.
James will have his last Basketball game this week-end. At his age the teams aren't really that good.
Meghan however has become quite the basketball player, She is on 3 teams, 2 she had to try-out for 2 of them, the school team and the town travel team. We watch BB games about 3 times a week. Meghan plays BB everyday of the week and week-end with pratices and games.
Extreme Home Makeovers did a show in West Palm Beach last week. The producer of the show broke a tooth and ended up at our office. We fixed him up and in return we went to the construction site, and met several of the hosts of the show, Paige, Michael and Daniel and got t-shirts with autographs. The show will air in 6-8 weeks. Eric took us to a closer viewing site, so we watched them film some of the show. Later Diane

We had a successful
visit to the mall. We found a lovely amethyst ring for Sarah. For years, I've been planning on getting a ring for my girls on the 16th birthday. I got the idea from Mom because I remember she got a ring from her parents too on her 16th. It's beautiful if you've ever seen it.
Tonight the older kids get home and tomorrow I go away till Wednesday. I signed up for a Pastor's wives conference at a place call Sandy Cove in Maryland on the Cheasapeake Bay. I don't feel desparate for a break but I like to get away and relax which Stan says I don't do enough.
John just found out about another option for the Marines that he's quite interested in. It is an officers track that starts while in college. Instead of two weeks every summer with his unit he would go to six weeks of officer training work. It's more pay too, which will help for college. After four years of college it's a six year commitment. He's considering making a career of it.
