Homecoming 2009

Pictures of Doug and friends getting ready for and at homecoming.

Doug was Mr. casual at the game, but put on a tie for the dance!

"Mindless Dating"

Doug had the lead role last night in "Mindless Dating", a play about what happens when the government takes over matching people for marriage. He did a great job! In the first scene he is talking to his roommate about his taste is party guests. In the next scene he has just met the girl on the left and she is having him measured for a tuxedo for their wedding.

Dad's Latest Report

Dad went to the oncologist last Thursday and had blood tests and CT scans. All were Clear! Dr. Foran was almost giddy. He has been rather guarded every other time, but I think that he believes Dad is doing really well.

This is a picture of Bruce and Dad on their way to a Braves game.

Being PTSO president at Spain Park High School is keeping me busy. We had our annual Open House the other night and lots of parents came to meet the teachers.

Doug is doing well, staying busy with theatre, youth activites at church and of course, studying.

News on Dad

Dad is doing so well since he finished radiation treatments the first of April. We talked him into hanging around with us until my birthday. Here is a picture of him and our friend Karl and our favorite Italian restaurant. Everyone sang happy birthday to me. Dad has been back in FWB with his two cute dogs ever since. He came up for his May checkup which was great and will be coming up soon for his August check up. We are expecting and praying for great results.t.

A new "do"

Those of you who know me well realize that I've had the same basic hair cut for years. I finally got it cut the other day. This is a not a great picture but it shows my shorter hair. As I told Marsha while she was in Paris, tres chic?

Another Adventure?

My friend Terri introduced me to making beaded jewelry. I do not consider myself a creative person. Being oriented towards numbers and system designs does not seem creative to me. How could I know that I would enjoy putting glass and ceramic beads together so much? These pictures show some of my work and my display at the local farmer's market. I haven't sold much, but have met some really interesting people and tried to sweat off about 20 pounds (I wish) sitting in the heat. I have introduced another friend to beading and she really likes it too. I keep telling Terri that we're a pyramid marketing scheme, she says no one is getting paid for their "up-line" so who cares. Bruce and Doug help set up, then they disappear til it's time to go home, but I sure appreciate their help. So far, I've sold six pieces. Not taking the world by storm. I enjoy it, so that will have to be enough.

Doug the shootist

Doug went to Orlando last week with the Meadows. They went skeet shooting. This was Doug's first time to handle a gun and seemed to do very well.
