Trip to AL

I would definitely love to go back to AL and have as many of us as possible go. I think Mary also really enjoyed the company. I know Harriett is right there by her but stays busy working 3 days/week and with her "man," Bill. I knew it was good for Mom...I could hear it in her voice even a week later...she didn't seem as depressed.
I kept hoping I'd make it to Atlanta this week, but things are really tight financially right now getting KK and Brandon ready to go off to school (and having had them home all summer). Caitlin and I finished painting my kitchen today...it looks so good!
Eddie and I are leaving for Charleston, SC tomorrow morning at 10:00 (just for the weekend), and then I start back teaching on Monday; I ran into an old RAFB friend this week and she said another one of our mutual friends had left the base Child Development Center and they are interviewing. I went online to USAJobs.com and filled out a resume so we'll see what happens...the pay would be more than double what I make now so we'll see what happens. It would be NICE to actually be paid for my experience and Master's degree! In January, I'll begin being paid for my Specialist degree (6-year level). That will help things considerably!
I've been to the doctor twice this week for an echocardiogram and sonogram (today) of my coratid arteries; the sonogram tech is now married to Eddie's ex-wife (I realized when I heard his name, but I don't think he made a connection and I sure as heck wasn't gonna tell him who I was). This town is tooooooooo small! :oP Apparently the chest and back pains (and nausea) I've had are actually reflux! Thank God!
Love to all,
Robin
