Well I am back. I have finally really gotten a move on with my projects. So I have not spent a lot of time here tending to this web site. The project have been, Task status The Yard cleared Completed The shed organized almost completed Sharon?s School material Completed & stocked in new attic Old attic good start or 1/3 done The office a good start or ¼ done Solaris 8 certification still working on part 2. I want to have these things completed before I return to work. Of course my certification in Solaris I hope will determine the new job. After being away from Santee Cooper I have gotten rested up & got a lot more energy & motivation. So now I am really putting on some hours getting things done. I spent a lot of time for a few weeks helping Kathy our neighbor across the street with their yard. Last week I spent a day & a ½ helping Bill & Kathy [friends in Conway] on their farm. Also I have gotten to spend a lot of time with Grace. It has been so great. She expresses her self in such a sweet way. You can not put a price on that. We have a great time with our friends & Grace?s friends also. There may be a few things I would feel better about if I could change them. But I am hopefully taking advantage of the opportunities. Just being able to be there to help extended family or just have fun has been great. Besides the few disapoi9nting things, life is good. Family, extended family & friends must be one of life?s most valuable resources
