lookin for a truck

I mean it...as in I want a monster truck...or so she says.
Yep...Corinne is begging for a monster truck and Kevin wants a BMW.
He points out every one we pass, it gets kinda funny listening to them.

Volleyball is in full swing, serve, spike. Corinne starts but is
fairly timid. We keep telling her to go after them hard and fast.

Well old news is new to some of you.
Due to the city of Memphis over spending, over paying folks and
under collecting fines and other poor services Keith was laid off
as of june 30th.
We were telling people on a need to know basis b/c we were
considering many options.
Corinne and Kevin knew from the start. they have been o.k

Keith has run the range of feelings. he was home with K and C
they latter part of the summer. Mr Mom is not where he wants to be.

He contacted people in the northwest....a little drastic from my
perspective.
One of the guys in the office was nice enough
to work out having him finish the work on his desk as a contract laborer.
As this guy would be responsible for Keith's AND his own work.
He spoke with several people in Memphis that will use him as an engineer
when they need one.
He has formed his own company and now has several possible jobs...out of town.

I am working more and considering full time (32 hrs) for the insurance.
As you know brenda...private insurance is costly.

Our dining room is the office.
We are having the screen porch renovated and will use it for a bedroom.
Kevin will finally get our room!!!

With everyone at school/work,
Keith has the house all day, can run carpool and help out with driving for sports.

AND HE HAS A CELL PHONE...no texting pls!! but at least we can find him.

We have not told out of town family, yet. my dad has had knee surgery and
my mom is still dealing with her mother in a nursing home.
Keith's dad is much better after 'targeted therapy' for recurrent
non hodgkins lymphoma. his sister in Calif. is going through a divorce and
the brother in slidell is also...both kinda messy.

so life goes on....
