Hi Ho Hi Ho .... its off to work THEY go.

This Fall has brought a bustle of new employment and opportunities to our family.  I think it is just lovely that so many of us have found new ways to stay busy and earn money.  I am equally thrilled that I am not really one of them.

Youngest child, Kathy and Lane have opened their new store, Clothes Mentor, in a very posh area of Tyler and it seems to be going very well.  Since they are also hard at work at their day jobs, I pitch in with cooking and kid transport.

Oldest child, Laura, is taking on a new position at Randolph Brooks CU, where she has been a valued customer for a very long time.  We hope it will leave her time to stay at all the gorgeous quilts and crafts that make her so happy.

Other daughter (in-law) Laura is criss crossing the South in her job with Convention South ... a job I think I would have loved to have.

Granddaughter Katelyn is happy to be back in Baton Rouge and working near LSU while she ponders her next step in education.  She's also helping out a cheer buddy a couple days a week in New Iberia.  (Who wouldn't want to be in New Iberia?  The place just smells wonderful.)

GD Alexis is in the cheer business too, as a member of the Blazers cheer squad while she studies at UAB.

Then there are the grandsons.  Matt has moved to Chattanooga, TN, and says I should come visit ... that I would like it.

Tom found this cool job, working for art galleries aboard cruise ships.  Between trips he visited cousin Curtis, told him about it, and now Curtis is in training for the same career.  Let me see, they get paid to live on cruise ships and tour the world.  That's another one I could have loved.

Currie is hard at work at two busy construction sites on Houston's east side and comes to visit his house (and his Mother) here in Whitehouse when he can get away.

Three months without a real job ... that would be me and I am not complaining.  I'm also not shopping and not planning any big Christmas gifts to anybody but there's a lot to be said for the idle life.  That's a joke, I'm not really idle but I don't really have a "boss" either.

Hi Ho Hi Ho, its off to Gentle Yoga I go.
