What's been happening?

It has been forever since I have wrote in this blog. I now have to catch up on Riehle news.
The fair was wonderful and fun! Lacey did pretty good. she came in 5th in her class. Jay's boss B&B trucking bought again. They are great people and they always care & support our family.

All my boys are finally employed! Yeah! I have been praying for this for a long time. Peter got a job at ICON but took a job at jiffy lube 3 weeks later, because the hours are better and he gets to be a grease monkey. Andy goes to school at USU and part of the week he works for a recycling company in town. He also has a side business of cabinetry. He is also thinking of being a substitute teacher. J.J. found a job as a welder near Chicago. He really don't like the job because they never let him weld. He plans on going back to his old job when they open back up in December. But he is just glad he is working. Alex is still at Wendy's and he is a manager. He went on vacation to Indiana to see J.J. and his family.
Rocky and his parents are doing fine. he is growing so fast and he is talking a lot.
I am now working at Garland Elementary. I love the little kids they are so fun! I really enjoy my job, it is less stressful and the ladies are so nice. I do miss all the nice cooks at the middle school and bugging Lacey as she came by the line.
Lacey is almost done painting her room. pink,orange,blue,green. it is bright and fun. She also decided to quit the cross country team and be the manager. she isn't built to run. she twisted her ankle to many times. Now she can be a part of the team but she don't have to run.
Jay has been trucking a long and he is enjoying his new best friend Seymour the basset hound.
I have been busy working on our food storage. I had a rebate visa card and I hit the stores with case lot sales. I purchased a lot of items and it didn't break my budget. I have been busy canning, so far I have made 24 bottles of salsa and 20 bottles of tomatoes. And 15 bottles of pears. I am also buying 1/2 a beef from the janitor at Garland so I better clean out my freezer.
A not so fun thing that I have been doing all summer and now it is getting into the fall. I have been trying to get my car repaired by Apollo motor home. In June a guy from Italy rented a motor home and he hit my parked car at Wendy's parking lot and he didn't have any information so I have been trying to track down there insurance and the people in charge (the main company is in Australia).
It has been a nightmare trying to get them to do anything. I have made a little progress and it looks like there is a light at the end of the tunnel. An adjuster came and looked at my car. and I have a real claim number and it has only taken me 4 months to get this far. I wonder what it would have been like if I had just left it up to them.
On a brighter note. everybody is healthy and happy and enjoying life for now. I am looking forward to Fall my favorite time of the year.
