May 24th Jim Wrote

Hello to all,

Hope everyone is doing well. We are glad its time for us to write because that makes us all the closer to summer! Jim opened the pool Mothers Day weekend and we have used it alot already.

We still havent heard about Brandons surgery date. The health care politics has hit hard.6 weeks waiting has turned into 10 weeks. Our phone messages are not sounding very polite. It better all be over with the next time we need to write,his tolerance level is pretty low right now.

The bustang is going great! Devon has put so much energy into renevating this bus, plus keep Dana happy and good grades in school and work. There is little work left to do.The papers have just been sent in for the mobile home registration. The inside is painted and most of the curtains are hung.If anyone is not able to come to Devons graduation party feel free to stop in and see the bus!

J.R. just got glasses this month. He was very excited to get them! He has been busy with band and Jazz band. He played the drum set for his school concert jazz band and did a great job. He is busy with baseball also. For those of you who dodnt live near here, tonight at his baseball game it started hailing.In areas it was as big as golf balls.At home our solar cover on our pool had holes in it.

Ashtons busy time is approaching. Dance recital and dance competition.This time of year its time to get it over with, the year gets long. She has been a fish in the pool, She is always content.

Jim just loves his new job! Change came alittle fast and furios but the change was well received. He is working for an environmental company and dispose of waste chemicals and environmental waste products. His days can get very long and he needs to commute every day to and from work. It was nice to walk out the door and start your work day with the truck in our driveway. He cant bring it home with the hazardous materials.

Vicki had been getting rounds of allergy testing done, ( and by the way they really hurt!) So far she is allergic to trees,grass,ragweed,and mold.She goes to the University of Penn on Friday for a consult, but will start allergy shots in 2 weeks. Hopefully this will detur any more spring time rashes!

Hope to see you all on the 12th!
Tootles,
Jim,Vicki,Brandon,Devon,J.R.+Ashton
