Hi, Everybody!!!

[Marilyn]

Just saying "HI". Sorry I've been away so long. Farming takes up a lot of time!!

Everyone in my family is doing very well. So much has been going on, both with family and with work that when I'm home in the evenings, it's kinda nice to just go to FV and do mindless things. I do really need to get back on here and doing other things though.

Melissa and Garrett are moved in and settled in their mobile home. Melissa is trying to get into nursing school and her husband has decided that once she gets her RN, he wants to go to vet school. He would make a good vet, and he has the smarts to do it, but he wants to go to a school in Denver which is sooo far away. He will apply to several though and see what happens. We have Texas A & M not too far away, but he grew up in Buda, just south of Austin and it is difficult for him and his family to consider him going to their biggest rival school.

Karen and Carlton are doing well also. She is living near the base in 29 Palms, California and going to school while he is away on his mission on the other side of the world until November. We're not supposed to post anything online about where he is and what he may be doing. I've mentioned before where he was headed, so hopefully you all know. That's why nothing is posted on FB. We pray constantly for his safety and that he returns early and healthy. At the end of May when the semester ends, Karen will come back here and stay with us for a couple of months rather than be out there in the hot desert all summer without family. She will return sometime in the fall before her hubby gets back. She's registered for online classes in the fall so things will be more flexible.

Rex is getting ready for another Parade of Homes. It begins on May 8th, so he's busy getting the home all tweeked out and decorated. He has a professional decorator helping this year, so I'm not so involved. My work has been very busy and things are really tough out there. Will be doing more traveling trying to scratch up as much profitable business as possible.

Take care and love reading your threads and catching up!!!!
