Everybody Is Now Really Getting Along!

Well, the week has come and gone.  The weekend is here.  It's so nice to have weekends off, there is just something about it.

My buddy Wiley is in the picture above.  When Ray and I got him and his sister (Amity) we had just purchased our condo in Saugatuck/Douglas (as our second home-we were still living in Royal Oak).  As a joke Ray said "Let's name them Wiley and Amity" (which were the corner street names of where our condo was).  We assummed it was a temporary joke.  We decided to call them that until we picked real/better names.  Well, they stuck.  Amity died almost three years ago from pancreatic cancer.  Wiley seems to be doing very well.

My new job is going well.  I am finally starting to get used to a routine schedule.  There was nothing routine over the last 15 years.  So that has been a big change for me.  I sit for eight hours a day handling customer and hotel calls from places ALL over the WORLD!  I deal with different languages, accents, cultural beliefs, attitudes, currency, etc.  One minute I may be talking to a guest in Oklahoma and the next second Istanbul.  It sure keeps you on your toes...well, while you're sitting down.

Today is Ray's sister Marguerite's birthday.  Happy Birthday Gully!  Ray named her "Gully."  An explanation I will not get into. 

This is the newest baby.  "Harley Quinn Davidson."  He's a great boy and everybody is now really getting along.  - Jimmy
