A Parting Shot

This horrible economy is really hitting close to home. Justin and Chandel both have been laid-off of their jobs for months now. Just this week SPI announced the closure of the local mill. Approximately 150 jobs will be lost. This doesn't include the truck drivers and other contract workers that will be affected. The county is not looking good budgetarily speaking either. The school boards are considering closing schools and combining them with others. It looks like Gottschalks will be forced to close pretty soon also.

It's so hard to stay positive when the outlook is so dreary. So, when little golden opportunities come along you've got seize the moment, the day, etc....

Here is a golden moment I encountered when I went home for lunch.


That's right, it's Chandel cruising in Lily's Dora the Explorer Jeep!
Ah, and here is Miss. Lily whining and asking her Mama to get out of her truck! Oh, she did finally say please and Chandel did get out (with a little help from Justin). :-)



Carpe Diem people!

Jenn! Since Chandel had to squeeze in there, can we call her ChanSquizzle? Ha ha ha! I crack myself up!
