ME AND MINE
There is nothing but GOOD NEWS from our part of the world. My husband, Danny is working at King Toyota as a finance director. We went to our timeshare in Vero Beach, Florida in May and Danny started growing a beard and has not shaved it off yet. We will celebrate our 11th Anniversary in September. Kelly is finishing up first grade and his teacher will be so happy to see it end! He has been taking Karate since last September- and has just passed the test for his blue belt. My daughter, Allison moved back in with us in May. She is 20 and works as a professional nanny and until just the other day worked part-time at Thom McAn Shoe stores at the mall. This past Thursday she received a promotion to Assistant Manager Trainee at the shoe store. Allison also has her own business called "Allison's T.L.C." Babysitting Plus. The baby-sitting will come second now that she has a Full time job. This will enable her to have a more secure financial position and also GET HER OUT OF MY HOME OFFICE/BEDROOM!! We are all looking forward to Mark and Kyle's graduation from high school June 7th. Chuck's Mom and my parents will be here for the event. Chuck is throwing them a BIG BAST the following Saturday. I am sure you all remember Chuck's Graduation Party.....So if you see some stray teenagers wandering around your neighborhood, just point them back to Florida. OK? Kyle also won a scholarship iii Art, but doesn't know if he will attend college right away or not. Mark is talking of taking some business courses so he CAN take over his Dad's business. In any event all the old ones are out of school at-id the young one is just beginning. Does it ever end? Danny and I have also booked a cruise this August. We will be leaving out of Port Canaveral on one of the Disney cruises which is geared to children and they have Disney characters all over. We are real excited about this, one, because Danny hasn't been on a real vacation since the last Reunion and there is no phone on the boat and two, we have never been on a cruise before. After the cruise I have reserved an extra week off for me to recuperate which I understand I will need. We were going to go to Washington D.C., but put that off for another time. And my best news yet is that I have finally purchased a home computer!! I have cut the time it takes me to prepare the newsletter in half and I don't have to sneak around the office to type it in between assignments! I just have to talk the office into letting me use the photocopier for free. I was hoping to have added some graphics in this newsletter, but unfortunately I have not been able to get the program to work. This is a lot harder than I thought and it is going to take me another six months to figure it all out......
LOVE TO ALL,
GLORIA
