E-mail from Cousin Judy

This is a test to see if I am working online. My new address is jmrb1941@centurytel.net. My home address is 60 Diane Ave., Ash Flat, Arkansas 72513 Phone 870-994-7707

We are still unloading boxes and trying to put 2000 sq ft into 1100 sq ft of space. What a mess, Murphy's law is in effect. Had to get new range, new furnace and paint over all the smoked up walls. Great yard but half is concrete blocks so back breaking work ahead this summer. Found a church already, this is Arkansas instead of a bank on every corner it has churches. This is great. Pink house will be painted this summer to grey and pink. We are exhausted but happy. In 46 years we had never had a Chirstmas or New Year without company or family. We looked at each other and said HI this is us looking at each other. Then we laughed. So we are here. Hope everyone had a safe and Happy Christmas and New Year. Write and let me know if this went through.

Judy

I'am not sure what is happening in Judy's life to prompt a move. Does anyone know?

Happy New Year

Well 2005 was as a "not bad year".

I used to have a boss who would look at your work and if he liked it would say, "That's not bad."

I would say, "You mean it's good?

He would say, "No, it's not bad. But you can do better."

Anyway sorry I haven't written more. I have several things I am working on, but I have to go upon the house and take down lights today.

I didn't write about it but December 19 was a hectic day. Corey left the Army Base in MO. And headed for his new home. I was mailing & UPSing some packages. There seemed to be a series of collect calls every time he stopped at an Air Port: St Louis, LA, San Jose. Was his wife going to meet him? Why wouldn't she answer the phone? Where was the house. He only had $50; was that enough?

Angela had moved with the kids to military housing on old Ft. Ord a Seaside, Ca address. Her cell phone didn't work there. I had the address for Christmas stuff. I have him the address. Finally he decided to wing it and take a bus from San Jose and with some swift talking and a uniform got a ride from the bus station to his new home.

As I understand it he will be in Monterey for a year studying Korean. I can't image it will be a calm time.
