Christmas has come and gone. New Years is less than a week away. "Looking
forward to a new year". Last week I received a "fully favorable decision" from
Social Security regarding my disability pension. I don't know if I should be happy or
what. "I really miss my job" This is going to take some getting use to. The kids and
Bonnie still have a week of Winter vacation left, then back to school and work.
Jenna is getting big and it won't be long before she is crawling.

Thanksgiving was nice, ate way too much but is tasted soooo good. The kids are on
their final week of school before Winter break. Last Saturday the 12th of Dec I
received a letter in the mail from Social Security that said they approved my claim.
It's about time, it's been almost 2 years. I feel like I can relax a little and not worry
about that anymore. We are getting ready for Christmas, almost have all of the
shopping finished. Maybe just maybe 2010 will be a good year. We will see.

Halloween is over, candy is all gone. The weather is still warm, no snow on the
ground. We are excited about the Holiday Season. "my favorite time of the year"......
Kids are in school, wishing that is was still Summer... Not much excitement around
here. Jenna Elizabeth Schill is growing like a weed. She is so much fun!!!

Summer is gone, Fall is here. Only a couple of weeks till Halloween. The kids are
doing good in school, Jenna is growing like a weed. It is raining cats and dogs this
morning. Not much going on here, paying the bills and trying to survive.

It's been a good 3 day weekend, busy but good too. Josh replaced all of the bearings
and seals in the rear of his truck and he also replaced the ring and pinion gears since
he tore them up...."KIDS" Oh well, he paid for all of it himself.... The corn got
picked, blanched and put in the freezer, it tastes real good, YUM, YUM.....
Josh and Dad, Dad watched Josh did most of the dirty work, pulled the pan on the
transmission of the Bronco and replaced the filter and gasket, it was leaking on the
driveway.... I am tried and ready to call it a night..... It's been a good Labor Day
Weekend.....
August 31st 2009
The kids are starting their first full week of school, "yea"..... Suppose to be another
hot day, rain later in the week. Picked some corn yesterday, had it for dinner, it was
real good.... Jenna is 8 weeks old today, she is growing like a weed.... Saw an article
on the internet saying Obama might give every household in this great country
$10,000 to help stimulate the economy..... I would appreciate getting ours now so I
can do my part stimulating the economy.....

Jenna Elizabeth Schill was born, she is beautiful. Josh worked odd jobs and earned
the money to get his truck back together. Samantha went to Silverwood with her
best friend Molly. The corn is almost ready to pick. Pumpkins too. Only a little over
a week and the kids go back to school, "its the most wonderful time of the year"
