    I thought I'd show this to ya Stephen, I took this The Forth Of July.  Mike, Jennie and Scott, Scott is mortified at his parents, you can see a smirk though.

     Little cooler today, been getting hit left and right with storms, nothing too bad..nice to have that cool breeze coming through.  We lost power briefly yesterday..not fun when the house is warm..Ahh.      I posted some pictures of my mom's side of the family along with my grandma, I love that picture of her.      Carianne was being "Miss Smarty Pants" when she drove around and parked the car..I told her she did a good job and being cute I told her she needed to a picture on it, so what does she do, gets on the hood striking "A Pose"..can't tell she is ornery..comes naturally though, you know my dad Schizz, her other grandpa could "Cut-Up" too.  So look out Carianne's Driving..be thank for you are in Massachusetts..ha-ha..just kidding though she is doing real well.     Pray everyone is doing fine, say hello to all.  Always worry about you, so hopefully you are doing ok too!  Love you Stephen, please take c...

   Hi Stephen,          So excited, Michael's hired me today at my interview.   Its so cool, they asked me about other skills I had, I told them, I was getting my degree in Floral Design, I guess their Floral Designer doesn't like to teach, so they asked me if I was interested in that too, I almost got cake decorator, but I haven't had too experience with that..The CEM said..darn it, But they are going to train me on the cash register as well.  Gosh that was soooo nice today, that you for keeping the kids and I in your thoughts and prayers, means so much!!  If you are ever in Ohio and at Lewis Center, that is where I will be.  Jon just works across the street on the same side at Arby's..works out great.  Carianne helped me dress for success this morning and I had to pass her inspection..it was cute, when I got the job, she had a big smile on her face.... Please keep me in your prayers that I will always have the strength and c...

        Such a busy summer and the time had flown by so fast like it always does.   Seeks like everyday I got something to occupy my mind that I gotta do. I know you have heard of "GRUMBACHER" they were bought by "Chartpak" from Leeds, MA.  Grumbacher as you know makes art supplies, including paints and brushes.  I recently got a notification they were hiring Art Instructors to work in the Michael's.  They looked over my work and sent me a certification test.  I passed it and then signed a contract.  Now I have to talk to Michael's , the one I used to work for back in 2007, so they can hire me.    That was something good and I was so tickled to get my certification, I still have a ways to go to start teaching..but its well worth it.  I still getting my degree in floral too.   Been thinking about you Stephen Anthony and everyone there in Amesbury, MA and all your family.  Sure hope you had a great forth and every...
