I've been confused, too, about the house situation, Roland. It seems like you're buying or selling houses all the time! Or is that just a misunderstanding on my part?

Patti, are you back in the cold? Missing the Florida sun?

Roland, just exactly how many homes have you had in the last year and where are you living now? You make me look like a homebody!! Don't think the critters will like one acre, do you? Did you change jobs also? We have been wondering where you were! Welcome back!

Richard, sorry about your mom. I have fond memories of her classes. She really loved her work and it showed. Been busy, back on the road again building stores for a local drug chain that was bought out by one we were familiar with in VT, Brooks. Its fun. I only travel to GA, SC, NC, & TN and have 3days at home. I do a four day 40 or more. Put my property up for sale at a steep price for someone to develop. Actually got nibbles..... Want to build something small for myself on an acres or as much as five. Keeping life simple. I found a great church I like and hope to be in the area for some time to come now. Yup, gone Southern Baptist but not on the evangelical side. Our service actually has many of the Catholic properties including a sat night live service as we call it. I have also been doing some missionary work in Tn through the church and hope to make a trip to Mexico next year with the same. Hope all is well with you guys and that the snow dissappears soon for you.

Raining here in VT today. I got to sub today for the Kindergarten class. They keep you on your toes but I like it. My daughter and grandbabies have gone back to NC so I am undergoing baby withdrawal. I am sure it will pass quickly. It is quiet here though. Neil is still out of work with his back and finally has an appointment with the neurologist on 5/11. Hopefully it'll be an easy fix.....he is not used to being home unable to do anything....but watch tv....sports and mad tv are gettin very tiring! for me....hope all is well with everyone. Remember to love your Moms while you can!!! I agree with the no appliance rule!!! Happy Thoughts everybody....

I am in touch with Janice through email mostly these days. I need to call. I don't know the answer to your question. I tried to send you the obit in the Rutland Herald on line but it would not work, so maybe you could look that up. My older sister was here this past weekend and we had a good time. We have had some rotten weather lately but things are looking up today. Looks like our annual trip to VT/ME will be in July and we will hit a wedding in Lexington, KY on the way. Soon my college freshman will be back home (we go to get him on Derby Day, May 7th) and my high schooler will be out of school on May 20th. So summer will be in full confusion mode soon. The only one who will not be here is my son in Cincinnati as he is on quarters and will be in classes this summer. All you guys ...... remember Mother's Day is the 8th! It doesn't have to be expensive, just thoughtful ........ no appliances please!

Just got home last night and wanted to check in with you all.

Richard I'm so sorry to hear you've lost your mom. It is a very sad time for you I know. Hang in there and be glad for all your years with her.

While I was in Fl my dad received notification of the death of Robert? Hinckley. I think the connection may be the Masons? Is this Janice's uncle? Karen are you still in contact with her? I hope so.

He played trombone, always first chair...graduated in 71. His father was the minister of the Congregational Church.
