Year End Review - July

Artie's new company that he was working for was bought out. He now works for Comfort Systems of the Carolinas. It is the largest mechanical contractor in the US. He has been very blessed in his new job. He now works in an office - no more working in 100 degree weather or the rain or the freezing cold. He works with some wonderful men - except for this crazy guy named Jack. You gotta watch out for him.

With his new job, Artie was sent to South Boston VA for a week long training session. It was a good week for him and he learned a lot. Brian was able to go with him. They stayed at an old plantation that had been renovated beautifully.

Troy took his first Youth Beach Trip (as a youth - he went on many when he was younger with Artie and I). I can't believe Brenda will be older enough to go next year!!

While the big boys were gone to VA and the beach, I painted and cleaned Troy's room (a good week long project!!) and Brenda learned to knit on a little circle thingy!! ??? She did very good and knitted her first baby hat.

Brian finally got to take his Driver's Ed course, he is now ready to get his driver's liscence!!!

Brenda and I took the little children to see The Princess and the Pea at the library. It was a fun puppet show.
