Hobbs Happenings

Been a while since I've updated, so here it goes.......We are back in the stone age as far as isp providers, had a change not of our making and it did not go well, so we chose to go back to dial up rather than pay almost 200.00 to continue with service we had for 7-8 yrs, as Casey would say "their screwing us". Actually Its going pretty well, I do all my work on line and its been just fine for that. It also provides plenty of time to do a couple of chores while loading up !
Well, the end result of all the Bostich turmoil is that John still has a job, in fact he has a larger territory ! however he will only be taking care of construction accounts, he's busy now renewing accounts he has not had for a couple of years now.
NC looks like it's on hold again for a while. We think we'll make that our vacation spot for a few years till things balance out, not a bad options, you've seen our beautiful baby.
We are having fun with her, she is so intense sometimes, she'll look at us with such expectations it's kinda intimidating, she's got me beat on the furrowed eyebrow look !
Since it's been raining quite a bit lately we are a little hopeful that we'll get to use the boat this summer, the american fork of the river has risen and widened considerably in the last week or two.
My work is still a little slow, looks like march will be a little busier. It has been nice to be home on rainy days. I've been up to pollock pines a few times lately, the snow on the mountains is very scenic, makes for a nice drive.
Enjoy the pictures of John and Katie, I need to get the camera in his hands so I can get some pics of her with me........ Love to all

Revisions To Sunny Side.........

You may or may not have noticed that john has been tinkering with picture on our wall, he added a little more land, I like that, makes blue look more like water to me. He also added our boat close to the shore, just so you know he did not "beach" it. When we are out on boat, he will not pull the boat up onto beach, we swing around about 10-20 feet out, dogs and people who want off have to walk/swim to shore. So this is a true depiction of our boat in water !
Most of you know that I've had Zell and Rolla this last week, it's been quite the adventure, I took some video of them all, but have not posted it yet !
Weather is getting colder, it is supposed to snow in georgetown tonite, maybe we'll catch a little bit of that... watch for pics....

Otherwise, johns job news is everchanging, so I'll leave that till we have some clarity.....stay tuned.......that's about where john and I are at these days...
As most of you also know john and I both joined facebook late last week, goodness that's quite the communication tool.
So far I have 10 friends, took a personality test that's pretty spot on, took a "If I were an alcohol drink I'd be Vodka, if I were a dog I'd be a Chihuahua. So how's that for a time waster, so no work is not really picking up yet and I'm wasting more time than I should.

First part of speed weeks have been pretty good for John and I. Kevin Harvick won the shootout, Bill Elliott is fastest in practices, and Martin Truex is on pole for Daytona 500. All that means that so far the Rousch and Hendrick cars are not dominating !

That does need to change for 500 though, I don't care who starts where, and who leads how many laps, or even who comes out of turn four in the lead. The only thing I insist on is that either the #88 or the #55 or the #21 (for john) or the #9 ( for john) cross the finish line first..............see ya in victory lane...........

P.S. For the rookies- #88 is Dale Jr. (my guy) and #55 is Michael Waltrip (my 2nd husband) (no, my son's don't have to call him dad)
#21 is Bill Elliott, johns all time favorite and #9 is Kasey Khane, who he's met !
Thats the short version of "our" drivers..........On With The Show
