Mansfield/ Fort Worth/ who knows????

Now I KNOW we have moved quite a bit but not from one place to another in just a few weeks! I just had to give you a hard time Netha! You know I LOVE YOU.

Terry has been back out in San Angelo the last few weeks and Lene' wanted to come 'home' and spend some time with us, so instead of flying Terry rented a car and drove home Friday afternoon with Lene. She brought Oreo (our granddog) as Terry calls her. Lene brought her scrapbook stuff and Lene', Shea and I scrapbooked off and on all weekend. I loved it. We enjoyed her being here so much. I miss my daughter, we talk everyday, so far we have but it's still not the same as being able to 'see' her. But Lene loves San Angelo and that's where she seems happiest so that is where she should be for now. She will be taking some college this fall and working full time so she will be busy.

Shea recevied a great blessing from the Lord yesterday. Just 2 weeks after applying for SS benefits, we found out that she was awarded SS benefits. We got our Senator's office involved and boy what a difference that makes! They will be contacting us later on this week to determine how much she will qualify to receive monthly. But the BEST part for Terry and I is that she will also receive Medicaid. This is a HUGE burden lifted off us as she will now have insurance after turing 19, which is when she would of been dropped from Terry's insurance had she not been going to school full time. She was mostly excited about the income, which I can understand. She already has bills to look forward too......Cindy. We told her that any expense Cindy has from now on will be her responsibility.

I am still working from home and love it. It affords me the time I need 'off' with Shea and to take her to and from rehab and doctors appointments. I could not get this any where else.

Well, I guess that is the latest from the Mansfield, Fort Worth area.

Who's next in reporting in???????

Love to you all,

The Band Camper....

Here is Daniel's room at West Texas A&M Band Camp in Canyon, Texas!!! Small for one, smaller with two!! Daniel loved band camp. But missed the air conditioner...these are TWO of the THREE fans they had in the room. He's planning to go back next year. It must have been a positive experience. He leaves for Disney World...Aug 10th! HE's our world traveler this year!

The Princess & Prince

Kailea & Her Pop all dolled up at Clay & Stephanies wedding!! Oh you can't see the pretty black, patten leather shoes. We went to the shoe store on the way to the wedding. As we parked, Kailea said "I want heels!" 6, going on 21!!! The wedding was pretty and there were plenty of High Heels there for Kailea to admire, and she got lots of advice on why NOT to want to wear them!!!

Back in Town

Well we're finally back in town and in the process of cleaning up a lot of mess. Simon did a great job in Couer d'Alene completing the Ironman in 14 hours nine minutes. He's already trying to plan the next one to better his time. It was a busy and exciting day for us bystanders walking all over town to get a glimpse and cheer him and his cousin Tim on. The town was beautiful as was most of the 24 hour drive. It was long but the kids did great and they enjoyed the lake and jacuzzi a lot as well as just new experiences. The trip was too fast though. We'll try to spend a lot more time next time. I didn't get the V.P. position but I'll keep trying for other positions. Our niece Zoe turned 2 last week and we spent the day at their pool party yesterday. She loves her cousins! Next week Simon's cousin is getting married and the girls are in the wedding. We'll get pictures. Looking forward to things slowing down this summer, I hope. And...Happy Birthday to Tracey and Tyler! Tyler is 16 this year. Hard to believe... Angie
