BAD NEWS...

We got word on Friday that Charles, Corby's step-dad, has cancer of the esophagus and stomach. Charles has been like a dad to Corby for almost 25 years, so it's very upsetting news. After 5 days in the hospital and getting this diagnosis, Charles went home on Friday. He lives in Chandler, Oklahoma, but was at the VA Hospital in Oklahoma City. Charles is a Vietnam Vet, and proud of it!

Corby went down to see him Friday (he was on vacation). There are a lot of decisions to be made about his care, but right now Charles just wanted to get home and get some rest. You know you can never rest in the hospital. This picture is of Doug, (Corby's brother), Charles, and Corby, last year right after Corby's mom, Margaret, passed away.This picture, taken the same day, is of the kids with Charles. Since my dad died when the kids were little (Brandon was 4 and the twins were just about 2) Grandpa Charles is the only grandpa they've known.
Charles is one of those good 'ol guys - he loves a good conversation, and has many friends. Right now we are just taking things a day at a time, and asking everyone we know to pray for him.

WE LOVE YOU CHARLES!

Linda, I'm so sorry about Charles. Is he still planning to move back up this way? I'll keep him in my prayers.

We're not sure about Charles plans right now. He has a brother who lives near him in Chandler, so he may opt to stay in OK.

Isn't This Gross?

Corby lets Muffin drink out of his milk glass. Isn't that disgusting? I love animals, but I sure don't share my drinks with them. YUCK! Brandon will be home tomorrow - on his 19th birthday! His last final is at 12:30. Corby & Kaleb are headed up to help him bring his stuff home. I was planning on going, but because Hope is out on medical leave, I can't take off. That's okay - I really wasn't looking forward to carrying his stuff down 7 flights of stairs! YIPPEE - MY BABY IS COMING HOME FOR THE SUMMER! Does anyone else out there love "House Hunters" - the show on HGTV? For some reason, that show grabs me. I like to see the 3 houses the couples (sometimes singles) choose from. Of course, most of them have a lot more money than we do! Saw one last night that was a young couple in Chicago - lived in the inner city, but with 2 kids decided to move to the suburbs. Their goal was to find a house for under $1,000,000. That a million dollars folks! How can peop...

Terrible Day

I'm not going to go into a lot of detail here, but suffice it to say that I had a TERRIBLE day at work! I made a huge mistake costing the company some revenue, and I feel awful! I certainly didn't need anyone to get on my butt, because I was kicking myself for the better part of the day. I know, I know, I'm human, but this was a BIG human mistake! I hate to admit that I'm human! HATE TO MAKE MISTAKES - ESPECIALLY BIG ONES! Okay, that's it. I'm having a margarita and trying to relax now. I'm done with being human for a while!
