Despite the hot hot weather, people around here are getting Spunky.
David got a job at at California Tortilla ( to pay off his huge debt from the infamous Big Red killing), and his name tag says "Spunky employee, David". (Yes, nsremom, click on the picture and read his name tag!) He beat out numerous other teens competing for the job by smiling alot, getting there really early for the interview and just generally displaying a spunky attitude. David has very little reason to feel spunky these days but puts on a good show.
Grace has 13 days left before she starts dialysis and is packing in everything she can before then. Her married sister, Aaliyah, had her over for the week-end and she swam and stayed up late watching movies and had a great time. We have two camping trips and a visit to New England scheduled before "D" day. Grace has always been spunky and this is no exception.
Kelly, our very timid 19 year old daughter took public transportation alone for the first time in her life to the next town over to take placement tests for college. She was scared on the bus, got lost walking from the bus to the college and was crying and shaking when she arrived..but she did it! That fact that Kelly is going to college at all is spunk beyond imagination.
All these spunky people are wearing me out.

I hate that Grace has to go through this. It seems she should be given a pass as having gone through plenty already.
Ahhhhh everyone is growing up so fast. Good for Kelly. And Grace is in our prayers.
I just gotta tell you, if ya'll lived around here, I would tease David unmercifully. Buahh ha ha ha ha....ahem...eer, but no, really, good for him getting a job. It's nice to see young people working and being responsible. And actually, if ya'll lived around here I would probably be dropping in ordering food from him. :)
Grace is always in my prayers, thank the Lord for dialysis. She just looks like one tough little cookie.
And Kelly, I have read about your Kelly. Good on her! Your nurturing of her is obvious....so good on you too mom.
And it's nice to be stumbled upon.
Aaliyah and Grace are so beautiful!
Big Red was killed?!?!
I'm glad to have found your blog too. Hope you're having a lovely summer.
And way to go Kelly! Where is she going to school?
