Had parent/teacher conferences last night. MacKenzie's teacher told me she could easily be Valedictorian of her class if she didn't miss so much school due to her migraines! Wow! She takes after her mother......not! She made the "A honor roll".

Deb has asked when we are going to have Cody's graduation party. Jean want's to have it the day before his graduation so we don't have to run back to the house to get stuff ready after the actual graduation. It will either be the 16th of May which is the Saturday before or on the 17th, the day of graduation. I will have enough help that we shouldn't have to "rush" back and set things up. I just want her to sit and enjoy the company anyway. I will talk to Jean and then get this set in stone so everyone can plan accordingly.

Hunting season interferred with Cody's senior pictures. Between Bow season, Shotgun Season, Pheasant Season, finishing up the mowing season, snow removal, ...oh yeah, racing and the new race car, working for Jim Book at Alley Auto and somehow finding time for Sarah (girlfriend) we didn't get all his senior pics done. I'll have to press him hard on that and Sarah is in my corner. She said she will help me "nag him to death" so if he get's it from the both of us he should be able to get them done.

Speaking of Sarah, today is her 18th birthday!

Today Dave has an appointment with the eye doctor. Jean said he needed to see the eye doctor before he fell in the spring last year and needs new glasses badly. I don't know as we will get the freezing drizzle they were talking about but just in case, Cody's going to check in with Jean before he goes to work. He actually checks in with her everyday. That way he can take the day off and drive them into the appointment if need be. Krissy's at school and can't take them and Kyle is working today so he can't take them either. Mackie could drive them since Alvin and Grandpa Dave pretty much taught her how to drive, but let's face it, she's only 13.

Alvin's got her driving everything imaginable down on the farm and I found out last weekend that he even has her running the "Gopher Hole Blaster"! When he said she had to wear a helmut to operate it, I thought to myself....glad I didn't know about it before hand!"

I am still feeling really good and working 9-3 this week seems fine. The truth will come about tomorrow or Friday. We'll just have to see how tired I get, but I don't think that will be an issue.

Before I sign off, I want to request prayers for my internet friend Rolly and his wife Jan. They found a tumor in her bladder and she's to have surgery on the 25th. She is a breast cancer survivor. XO to you Jan!!
