Ok so its Wednesday and I'm here in the good o le U.S.A. OK so y'all can understand my reluctance to tell y'all where I'm at at the moment. I've been there, I've also been here. Rod started his new job on Monday and starts his new job tomorrow. He will be working four days a week for now. However this week he will work Friday yep he will be getting in some much needed overtime. He will be making the Buick la Cross or Chevrolet Malibu. The plant is large and will be staffing very close to 4000 people come next year. So here are a few pictures of the past few weeks. We are doing well we have a nice apartment out here. I'm starting to find my way around but man the freeways are very confusing so we have a garmin to help out with all the spaghetti junctions. Pumpkin has had trouble adjusting but gets better every day. The pond that o ur apartment faces has ducks, very loud ducks.

News can be fickle. It can be very good, it can be bad, it can be bittersweet. I'll go with the last one. The wonderful news is is that my husband has a job again yeah! It pays a bit more than his last job because it's third shift. After living on unemployment since March we can use it, has been rough let me tell ya. The bad news is that his job is in Kansas City Kansas. It starts November 2. Yes we have relocated once before and I' m familiar with the process but it doesn't make it easy. We moved here for a variety of reasons. The plant back home was failing, Bowling Green was hiring cause and effect. Similar situation they keep laying off, Kansas is hiring 900. Yesterday afternoon we signed our life away in paperwork. We took the option to transfer out in 6 months if we want to. This means if the plant here ever goes back and expands we could transfer back also that we could transfer to wherever in six months if we don't like Kansas City. It was a very somber day,...

I had recently entered a book cover contest I thought I'd share on of the entry's y'all haven seen. unfortunately I forgot the bow tie on the tux but I'll fit that before I put it down in my book!

In my mind Summer starts Memorial Day weekend and ends Labor Day weekend. Regardless of the temperature, regardless if the pool is still open, regardless if the kids are in school or out. That train of thought sticks in my mind. I'm sad summer is over. Its been a cool, nice, pleasant summer. All of the summers we have experienced here (the past 6 years)have been hot and harsh, dry to the extreme except this one. I really hope we wont be barreling into fall without an Indian summer. I love leaving the doors open, with screens in, I enjoy the breeze that blows across the house. I love grilling out on the patio sitting at the picnic table and having dinner, breathing in the heavy air that has the "backyard grill smell". Have a Good Weekend y'all! I know its been forever since I've updated the blog sorry I took so long. Blessings A
