Greetings From Tennessee

Greetings from Tennessee, for all of those who don't know Tim and I had a baby see her picture she looks a lot like tim don't you think? lol Seriously though things are great in Tennessee, we still love it here and enjoy the time off we have to go to Shows, see local talent, Dollywood or just hiking in the Great Smoky Mountains. We have been working very hard on finisihing projects we started on our home built a shed, a deck and now are building a sidewalk to shed and a dog kennel so we can have another baby little Bear needs a sibling, so Tim and I are trying our best to give her that. Boy am I tired, but life is great in Tennessee we hope ya'll come on down and visit. We are anxiously awaiting Debs visit and plan to take her Zip lining if shes up to it, can't wait to see her. Tim and I are planning a 2 week vacation to Alaska we leave on July 3rd should be an awesome time, we bought a new camera and if we learn how to use it we will post some pictures. In january we are going to Hawaii for a week or so to visit my youngest daughter Abigail who is moving there for a year in May right after graduation. In February we are taking a cruise with my oldest daughter and her husband to the Caribbean. We have a full year planned.

Nathan is graduating from college in May and is looking for a job, he is going to be a police officer, Travis is having surgery on his knee over Easter he hurt it playing basketball he still has another year before graduating as a teacher, and Beth has been evacuated from North Dakota for the time being due to the floods she is currently working as a Social Worker for refugee children.

My youngest son Bart has left to hike the Appalachian Trail all 2185 miles of it he left March 11 and should be gone about 7 months. We are now grandparents to three Rachel had a baby girl in January. We will be heading to Minnesota in May to see them all and go to the graduations of Nate and Abigail. Hope to see some of you Yankees at that time. Well enough from Tennesse we love you all. Tim and Patty the Tennessee Hillbillies!!!

Hello Everyone,
It's been aVery long time since I've posted, so here goes. I'm sure everyone knows I closed the Bakery. Tough economic times. I guess my timing was all wrong. It's been a rough 6 months, but we are getting thru it all. I took the first job that was offered to me, which I absolutly hate, but it's a job, and these days a person can't be too picky about work. Still looking for someting better tho. Oh, I work in a Deli. Robert is doing great after his stroke. He keeps his blood pressure cholesterol and diabetes in tact with diet. He walks 2 miles 3-4 times a week. He want's to retire in June but financially it's just not possible. Corey is doing well, like always! No steady girl friend.
Him and Zach moved a mobile home onto our property. It's well out of the way so we can't even see it from our house. Caleb is doing great. He DOES have a steady girlfriend of 2 years. No plans on marriage tho. Zach is also doing well. He wants in the worst way to by a home, but with the economy and the construction business being so slow it's hard to do that right now. He also has a girlfriend. Nothing serious tho. We really don't have any exciting plans in the future summer months ahead. These days can't really afford to do anything exciting. Well that's about it for my boring life. If anything exciting happens I will make sure I write again, but don't hold your breath!!! HAHA. Hope to here from everyone soon
Love Jody

Hi Everyone. I think it's time we get this blog going again. Let us know what you have been up to and what your plan's are for the summer. It is a nice way to keep in touch with everyone without writing to each person. Some of us are very interested in each and everyone of you, so please drop a few lines, we miss you. I will start.
As most of you know I am still working at Children's Hospital and Medical Center as an Anesthesia Tech. It's an easy job and at the same time very hard emotionally.
Made two trips to FL. and met my beautiful new grandson, Alexander.
Won my lawsuit from my ex- supervisor, thanks to the help from my friend, the attorney I clean house for. OK, not much for the winter. But the fun begin's now. I will be making a trip to North Platte for my Grand daughter's, Trezna, first dance recital. I will be going to Tennessee to see Tim and Patty in August. Can't wait for that trip. I am planning a birthday party for my grand daughter Alexa Cerrio Gonzala. It is her first birthday and they have no family in the states. Raquel and Alex like the party's I throw, so I said I would do it.
The rest of the summer will be cook out's and get together's at my place and lot's of yard work.
Alex said he would replace my driveway and I have a guy going to cut down one of my tree's in the front yard. That shoud be interesting. He will have to close off the street and have people in the apartments across the street move their car's.
Now that I have bored all of you to tears, I hope you all will try to bore me too.
Take Care and hope to hear from everyone.
Deb
