Justin's Homecoming Dance

Saturday was such a beautiful day, I just had to spend some time outside weeding the garden. Ebony has learned to come when she is called and is pretty good about staying in the yard, so she got to go outside with me and play. Justin came over after work to get ready for his homecoming dance and I asked him to please stop by with his date so I could get some pictures. He was a good son and remembered! Both he and his date Lexie look very nice.

Jessica and Jason Visit

Jessica and Jason finally came to see me last night. I was wonderful to see them again. Jessica has lost a lot of weight and looks great! Jason is back in college and is working on a business degree. I don't know if I like all the facial hair however! Janelle will be mad at me for taking her picture when she is not fixed up but she should know better, I always take pictures!! They brought over some KFC which was delicious. It's been awhile. They played ping pong and we watched #1 USC get beat by Oregon state!

I had my interview today for the Managers job at a brand new Assisted Living that they are building in the valley. It would be a great job for me, I hope I get it. I have already forgotten how I connected my pictures to Picassa and I wanted to try out flickr. It sounds a little more complicated but I'll give it a try. The picture above was my practice picture using flickr. I don't know which one is easier since I can't remember how I did it. Oh did I mention that this new Assisted Living is for Alzheimer's. I should fit right in!

Big Interview

Tuesday is my job interview at the Mission Ridge Assisted Living. I'm applying for the Director of Resident Care. I think that's the title. Basically it's the manager job. Hopefully it will go well and I can get a job there. I get so tired of the long drive especially in the winter. We went shopping today and bought some new toys for Ebony. She really likes them. Janelle went with a friend to WSU. I will worry until she is back home.
John has nothing to add so good-bye for now.

An interesting day

Yesterday I found a great job opportunity in the newspaper and immediately e-mailed my resume. Then today I waited impatiently for a phone call or return e-mail, but nothing! So now I am worried about whether or not I e-mailed my resume correctly. I'm probably just being impatient, but if I don't hear anything tomorrow, I will resend it. John had to work late because of Parent's back to school night so I am on my own. I was going to work on my main computer but something is wrong with it. It won't start or do anything, so now I am really frustrated. Fortunately I still have my laptop. I guess I will spend the evening watching football and surfing the internet.

Summer Fun

We were able to spend a lot of time at the river this summer. We went to Steve and Sue's place and watched Jack retrieve boat bumpers and a football. Ebony wanted to join in but she's just too little. Steve made fun of John for having a little dog, but I think secretly, he really liked Ebony and would like a little dog of his own! She is a great dog and I am thrilled that I finally talked John into letting me get her, but she can be frustrating at times. She is not totally "potty trained". She will go where she is supposed to most of the time, but every once in a while she pees on the carpet. We were going to let her sleep with us, but she peed on the bed! No more sleeping with us!
