Summer

Well, well well.  It’s been a while since I have been here.  Busy, busy, busy.  Where to start?  The boys are great – Ted & I started a lawn care business and we mainly do grass cuts on foreclosed homes.  He is still cleaning carpets and is looking to go back to school.  Tom is doing very well in school and has a plan – he changed his major to liberal arts and will apply to Va Tech  for next year.  He wants to be a Health & Human Services major.  Matt has is driving permit and his heading to NJ next week to visit.  He went to a teen camp for 3 weeks and had a blast.  Billy’s summer has been very busy – camp for a week, NJ for 3 weeks and football practice has started.  First day of school is 8/24.  YEAH!

The Foundation continues to roll along.  We did get our state funding for this fiscal year.  BUT we are facing budget cuts btwn 5-15%.  This would be devastating.  Beacon House serves almost 50 folks and No Limits 16.  The friendAble social club has a new location – we are using a city facility that is much larger and the space is perfect for our needs.

Enjoy the dog days of summer!
