It doesn't seem possible that four years have flown by already .... but it was four years ago today that Neil and Lizette were married in Colombia, So. America. Today they live in the Los Angeles area and seem to be very happy there. John and I are very happy for them and proud that they are working towards reaching the goals that they have set for themselves. We wish we could be with them to help celebrate this special occasion but at least they do live near family in Southern Calif. I have two sisters that are out there. Doris and her husband, Mack have lived out there for almost fifty years. They have a son, Hollis that lives out there and a daughter, Wanda, that lives in Colorado with her husband, Sean.
Rena, my younger sister has lived in that area for about 25 years herself. It's hard to believe that so much time has gone by so quickly. I just wish it wasn't so far away. It's hard to be so far away from those you love and don't get to see very often. Hopefully we can make a trip out there soon and enjoy each other's company but until then, we will hold them close in our hearts.
We've been in several Home Shows but I think this one was THE Best so far. Of course, only time will tell if it was worth the investment of time, money and all the effort of preparation but there were good crowds each day and lots of people sto
pping by our booth and asking questions about how to get rid of their bugs. John, being a "people person" and loving the kids as he does had a GREAT time with his hand caterpillar puppet. Some kids LOVED it while others were too shy to get anywhere near it but ALL in ALL things went smoothly. It was a BIG job and we're glad we did it .... now it's just wait and see what kind of results it produces.
There's a saying that goes..... If March comes in like a lamb, it will go out like a lion and (visa/versa) If it comes in like a Lion it will go out like a lamb. Well, it came in like a lamb so we're hoping that it will also go out that way no matter how the saying goes. It is still cold here today but this weekend it's supposed to get up to 70ยบ and it hasn't been that high since last fall. We are all MORE than ready for some springlike conditions.
The Bugman Pest Control is ready as well, since our business drops off quite a bit during the winter. We are ready to get "back in action" so to speak. Of course, with the economy like it is, we are VERY grateful to have a job that can pay the bills.
I've recently been trying my hand at learning a little more about how Ebay works to try and earn a little mad money (not too Mad:):): Since the stock market wiped out about half of our 401K (like everybody else) we won't be able to retire any time soon so I'm trying to think of ways that I can bring in a little more money to help our financial situation.
We are truly thankful that our situation is not as bad as so many that have been forced out of their homes. God keeps watch over us and continues to bless in so many ways and we don't want to ever forget that. He will be sending Spring soon because he is faithful to send each season in the order He ordained from the beginning. Til next time find the joy in each new day the Lord gives us.
