Janet again!
 

Bet you think I'm pesky, don't you Janet! :D

I remember that Ricky is going to Lincoln??? I've been meaning to ask how things are going with the commute, school, etc. And I realize that I don't know what he is studying??? I've just been wondering about your boy and how he is doing!

You are so sweet Gayle. Rick is doing fine so far....I'm the nut case...LOL. Rick is studying diesel mechanics. Not our first choice for him, but that's what he's interested in so hopefully he'll do good.

It is a 40 minute commute for him. He doesn't really mind the drive too bad....just getting up at 5:30 AM. Rick would rather sleep till noon...LOL. Rick has always been a hands on type of student so this is good for him. They rec'd their new tools the other day and he was soooo excited. Also rec'd quite a few more books and workbooks....that wasn't has exciting....lolol.

He is still working at Goodwill, has been for two years now and still enjoys it .....most of the time.

I'm not really thrilled for him to be driving in the winter, but it is a fairly safe road and once he gets out of our county...the roads are much better. Our county road and highway department isn't worth a darn.

Thank you so much for asking about my son.

I'm glad to hear that things are going well for Ricky. I'm sure that he was excited about the tools. I wonder why he wasn't excited about the books?...Hmmmm......Ricky will probably be fine in the wintertime. Dae Lynn drove 30 miles to a local college and didn't have any problems. I was like you in that I didn't like her driving in the winter.

I think that's a great choice, Janet. I think he will have lots of job possibilities - as I understand it, diesel mechanics is a very specialized field and not a lot of people can do it!

Hey Janet, I was just catching up on some of the posts I missed and saw this. I have been wondering about Ricky, too. I'm glad he likes school and most importantly likes what he's studying and learning. Wouldn't it be nice if they could just stay home and be our little boys forever?:)

That would be wonderful and I told him to not grow up so fast, but typical kid....he did anyway.

Janet, so glad to hear that he's doing so well. That should be a good field as Gayle said. Sounds like you've raised a very responsible son!!
