What a wonderful sounding family get together Donna. I'm pleased you had such a great time.

[mymorgy]

that sounds so fantastic.

It was. We get together as a whole family once a year since my mothers
death. But I go to Kokomo to see my sister's and anyone else that I can a few times a year. But the nieces and nephews aren't usually available.

My son Devin isn't usually available to join us, but he was this year it was so
nice to have him too.

Something has been going on with the little bus that takes Derrick
to work last week and this week. It seems someone has been
dropping the ball and not scheduling his bus.

But I had him call this morning when he didn't get his reminder to
make sure he was scheduled to be picked up. And he wasn't
on the schedule for this week. So he explained to the woman who
answered that he wasn't picked up last week for his scheduled rides,
but that since I was here he just had me take him. It was technically.
Easier with it being the holiday.

This week he was scheduled today and tomorrow one way. And I told
him this morning he had to call because it couldn't just keep happening.
Because I really realized he wasn't wanting to report it. Because he doesn't
like conflict. But once he started he did fine. And he has a ride tomorrow.
I am his ride today, it was to late to get it scheduled today.

And she double checked and he has rides next week. So it should come through with reminders. As it was before.

So it should return to normal.

Hey Donna! Sounds like you had a fun family visit. Thats nice!

Sorry about the bus stuff, but it sounds like you and Derrick are working it out. I hope! Good luck!

[Dmom3005]

and its messing up for everyone.

So hopefully it will get fixed.

Thought I'd come in and say Hi. Its so quiet in here.

heehee, but its really windy outside my house. We have a wind
advisory in the area. So its also really cold too.

I have been home since Monday and am doing good.

Well at about 6:00pm with lots of wind, I knew my being home
was at a stop at least for a while. Then I decided not till this morning.

I wasn't driving in 30mph or more weather. SO this morning I got
in the car at 8:00 am and went to Derrick's he had no bus this
morning, or evening.

Then he hadn't been able to reach the bus. So he tried again when
I got here. The girl tried telling him he hadn't scheduled it. And kept
trying. I could tell he was getting upset. So I took his phone, and
told her. Look he called last week, and after scheduling the unscheduled
days, asked you to make sure the days this week were scheduled. Whether
you remember or not. And you did, said they all were. Gave him dates and
times. And all. What else can we do. She still didn't get it.

He is scheduled now, but is also scheduled next week, want to bet he
isn't next week when he calls to schedule next week.

Hi Bobby and Everyone

I just got back from picking Derrick up at his cooking class.

I am so glad he has another avenue to enjoy life now adays.

Its so nice he has so many good role models. The weather isn't
too bad, other than being freezing up here. But that is our
weather in Indiana.

He goes to work at 4pm and I get the dogs all to my self. Which
is totally okay. I will miss my Jake, but he is warm at home. I
have to pick Derrick up on Sunday, so its silly to go home before
that. So since I wasn't sure that I would have anytime at home
before that. I brought everything with me to his house. Except
wind was too bad on Thursday for him.

Hope all have a great weekend.

Donna
