On The Border Celebration

Happy Birthday to my sister Rhonda (on May 30th)! We celebrated with a family get together at On The Border this afternoon. GREAT fun! Of course, I had a couple of GRANDE margaritas! Hey, Brandon was driving, so it was okay! We had a great time. Our waiter was very gracious, considering there were 11 of us! The twins were unable to go because they both had to work, and my sister-in-law, Sandy, had a scrapbooking class so she was unable to join us. But the rest of us had a great time - great food - great family time! We're already planning our July 4th get-together. It's nice that July 4th falls on a Friday this year!

Here is a picture of the birthday girl:Here is my baby brother Mike and the birthday girl:Here's is Corby and Brandon:Here is my nephew Nick and my mom:Here is my little sister Marilyn and her significant other Mark. Not the greatest picture, but I had to get them in on this blog.And last, but not least (notice how I managed to stay out of the photos since I was taking them?) is my sister-in-law Diana and brothers Mike and Terry (Jim Bob):Here's the story on Jim Bob - his given name is James Terry, but he was always Terry growing up. Once he hit high school and then college, he started going by Jim, but I absolutely cannot call him Jim - he is Terry and will always be Terry. Several years ago, when his wife Sandy was calling him Jim (she tries to remember to call him Terry when she is around us) I decided to call him Jim Bob. So that's where the Jim Bob name came from. Hey - it's a good Kansas name. Corby's step-dad's brother, who lives in Oklahoma, is named Joe Bob - and that's his real name. At least Terry's "Jim Bob" is fake!

What's Good

Here's what's good right now: 1. Corby's OKAY after an accident at work today! He was on the forklift pulling onto a truck when the truck driver pulled away from the dock apparently to reallign himself (WHAT AN IDIOT DRIVER!!!) and he fell off the dock. Thank goodness there is a roll-bar on those forklifts. He has a headache and will probably be stiff tomorrow, but says he is okay. They sent him for a drug test. It's their policy if someone has an accident at work. 2. Feeling much better. I'm about 75% well now. Still have a cough and some sinus issues, but I think I'll survive. 3. Spending today with Kaleb & Kaitlin. 4. Having such good kids. Leeker's just called Kaitlin to see if she'd work longer hours today. They have a lot of employees out sick. She was supposed to work 4-8, but volunteered to work 2-9. Here's a pat on the back hon! 5. Enjoying some Josh Groban music. 6. Cleaning out my file cabinet and getting ready for 2008. I know, I...
