May news

Hi You Guys,
Bert and Kathy, I know you will be happy when you are settled in you new house and have begun the minimalistic life. When space is small you find out you really don't need all that crap you thought you did. I'm glad we had a chance to see the picture (before) and we're looking forward to seeing the pictures (after). It sounds like such a cool place. I loved your log cabin house in the woods and this seems like the same sort of country setting.
Ryan has a new job. He has been working as a bartender at 2 different restaurants on St. Simons Island for about 6 weeks now. The same guy owns both, they are both right down in the "village" near the water. One is a regular restaurant called the Iguana and the other is a bar, jam place with live music called the Rafters. It hasn't been too busy and he is only getting his tips plus $50 bucks a shift but they all say it will pick up after Memorial Day. He is looking for housing again in St. Simons as he figured it is costing him $400-$500 a month for gas. Sometimes he has double shifts, first at the Iguana and then the Rafters. He is still dating Tracy. They went up to S. Carolina this past weekend as her nephew was in some sort of drag race or something. I keep forgetting to ask him Tracy's last name. The last two girlfriends were both named Hayes. How odd, eh?
We are still working on the fence. The right hand side of the yard is about 2/3 done. Now it is good and hot here so it is much worse to work on it. On our anniversary Saturday, we hauled the riding mower over to Rick's office and cut, edged, and blew the yard, plus cleaned up the parking lot of leaves, weeded the beds. Ryan used to do this but he isn't coming home as often. We had a nice dinner that night at the Wine Cellar with our friend Bob and Pat.
Kyla is coming to spend a couple of nights with us Thursday, Friday and some of Saturday. We'll go up to Georgia and Ashley will pick her up on Saturday. We are going up to Savannah
with the Kuroskos and Weeks on Sunday and Monday.
The strep infection in Ashley's leg is slowing getting better. It sounds like it may drag on for awhile. The pain is much better, but it is still swollen and red. She doesn't have to go back to the surgeon for a month so I guess he feels it is getting better.
That's all the news for now. love Marilynn

  1. Just had to laugh as to how you put it that "it is good and hot here" as to working on the fence. Seems that project has dragged on.
    Good news about Ryan both on the employment front and the Tracy front.

  2. Didn't know about Ashley's leg, sounds yucky. And good to hear Ryan is working 2 jobs, hope he can get a place to live near work, that's a lot of gas money going down the drain.
