A Shrinking Family

My sisters Yvonne and Ruth Ann were here a few days to visit. We had a nice time together. We managed to avoid any differences we have, so I think we all came through the visit with our love intact and no loss of attachment to each other. There are now only 6 of us left in the family, not counting our children. Just a few years ago there were 10. We lost dad first, then mom, then Frank, then Phillip. Leaving me, Georgiann, Yvonne, Susan, Ruth Ann and Jamie. I understand Susan is engaged to be married, Jamie has gone her own way which I at least understand fully. I am not necessarily happy but I do understand and find no fault with her. So out of 10 the family that will continue as a family unit may soon be down to 4. And those are pictured here.













I did not know until just now that Mari was in the picture. She is easily the prettiest one in the picture. Nice tan, as well. You can click on the picture to make it larger. Hope you have a widescreen to get all of me in.

I have not heard about when I will interview for the dept mgr position yet. I have the weekend off so it will be early next week. They want to fill the position by the end of the week. Our current mgr begins her new job on the 14th, a week from Monday. I do not know when she plans to leave our store, but she is scheduled through next week at least.

Georgiann got me a very small Sony Walkman for my birthday. It can play 33 hours of music or 9 hours of videos. It has an FM tuner as well. It is smaller than the old flip top cigarette lighters I remember people carried (like Zippos) when I was young. I think it can hold like 2000 pictures depending on how much music and videos it has on it. A cool little device. I will have to be careful not to lose it.

Gotta go to bed. More later.
