Nathan got a job in Louisiana, was there for 2 months and2 weeks ago they shipped him out to work on a rig off the coast of Ventura, CA. He's living on a "habitat" with maybe 8 others and they ferry the workers back and forth to the rig every day. he is a tender, so is not diving, but working 12 hours a day - EVERYDay for 6 weeks, making LOTS of money and happier than a "pig in shit". Ventura is about 1.5 hours away from Uncle Damon, Judie's husband, so Nathan may see him before coming back to LA.
Evan is going to Oakland University, my alma mater (sp) in Rochester and getting a Pell grant and some financial aid of another sort, so we no longer have to foot the bill. He just finished 16 weeks in 8 and will start another in about a week. Hopefully, he will come down here for a visit end of August - his b'day- before he starts the fall semester. Grades aren't in yet, but he was at a 3.4 going into finals. We are very proud of his progress, emotionally and physically. always knew he had it intellectually, just was a long road getting the other stuff in order. He really seems to be enjoying school and work at the pizza parlor - well, it's a job.
The guys just delivered the new refrig here at Moseley's - compressor went on the old one. Seems everything goes here soon or later, but the closer you are to the water, the sooner it goes. So we have been here since late yesterday with no refrigeration - AH, the ice chest - reminds me of hurricane season, which, I think, we are now officially in.
better stop now as I seem to be rambling.
luv to you all. Miss you. Coming back to MI in November. Can you believe it, they called me for jury duty????????????? I told them at first - June 7, I was out of the country, then they said Sept. 13 - NOT- main hurricane season, so she gave me November 13, argh, I thought they would let me off.
this is my new "pool boy"
