My son, the pilot, got laid off last month. Things are really bad out there in the job market. But they are lucky.. Misty is a teacher and is still working. But she’s pregnant with their 2nd child. Hopefully no one will need to have to visit a Plano cosmetic dentist’s office any time soon.
Theo says they’ll be ok for awhile. I think they’ve been smart and have been putting money away for just this type of problem. I only wish we would have been able to do that too.
My son lives and works in South Carolina. He’s not too far from where the fires are burning in North Myrtle Beach. A couple weeks ago he got depressed and mad and punched a wall. In the process he broke his hand and couldn’t work. He didn’t have any disability insurance due to the fact that his boss was partially paying him under the table.
His boss did pay him for last week and we helped him out with some money too. He went back to work this week and is trying to be careful. He installs auto glass so he does have to use his hands a lot. I hope he doesn’t do any more damage to his hand by working. I do understand that he needs to have the income to pay for his apartment and his car and everyday living expenses.
One of these days when we take a trip down to see our son in Myrtle Beach I’d love to stop and check out the Outer Banks of North Carolina.
I’ve heard a lot about it but have never had the chance to get there myself. Our trips are usually quick ones and we never have the chance to relax and enjoy ourselves. It’s something both hubby and I need. We need to get away and just relax. Maybe someday.
This weekend we are taking another trip to Texas. This time it’s to take the grandsons down to their mom. We won’t need any vacation rentals because we won’t be staying all that long. It will probably be a 4 or 5 day trip total.
It’s a good thing my car has a large trunk. It’s been said that this trunk can hold 8 fully loaded golf bags.. not that we play golf. The boys have a lot of stuff to bring with them plus I have some stuff to take to Andi and to our oldest son, who lives up near Dallas.
