Here it is....over a year since my last posting!
Updates :  Daughter (Varmit) has now graduated from College with a Nursing Degree and has started work at a downtown Louisville hospital in the Emergency Room.
                 Still working on basement project of "throwing out old junk" or putting stuff in pile for an Auction.
                 Got work schedule down to about 50 hours a week.
                 Still have damned "Houdini" dog.  The $%^&! dog has escaped from wooden fence enclosure.... then again after I put chicken wire over it....then again after I doubled the amount of chickenwire.....Then got a chainlink enclosure with a chainlink top....it took him about a month before he chewed and clawed his way out.... then I chained him inside the "repaired chainlink" enclosure.  This held him for about a month....and he's at it again!
               Quit Smoking on March 15th.  Been 3 months now since I quit.  Using Chantix and really wanting to quit this time makes it happen.  Still have urges to light-up, but, no craving.  I just say no to the urge and it immediately passes!
               Have started construction at the farm of a cabin for Marisa to use to "escape" from the hustle and bustle of "Big City Life".
