and a little sad.
1. Tonight my church had it 70 Anniversary. Our DS Ian Fitizpatrick was there and Kevin came to the church tonight (On his OWN) to see Ian.
Kevin has always thought Pastor Ian was the nicest most approachable person.
Kev has never ever turned down the oportunity to go and see and hear Ian speak.
2. Tomorrow morning I am at the passport office to get Kevin his very 1st passport.
I need to fast track it to get in time for our trip. His dad is happy he is going on this trip. Yahoo!!! No fights about it!!
3. Friday night I came home from work and found my police check waiting for me.
That means I will stop by the School Board and drop off the police check and get my employee number!!!!
This job has been 23 in the making.
Not a deliberate wanting of the job, but through the experiences with my kids and a few others, I fell into the job.
4. The sad part. Jeff Healy has died. Many will know his music and his out pouring to his community. He will be missed.

Jeff was a Legendary blues and jazz guitarist Jeff Healey has died, his publicist said Sunday. The Canadian musician had battled cancer his entire life.
"It was something he fought with considerable bravery," his publicist, Richard Flohil, told Newsnet late Sunday.
Healey, 41, had lost his eyesight to a rare form of the disease, Retinoblastoma, at the age of one.
The musician had performed with such acclaimed guitar players as B. B. King, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Albert Collins and George Harrison.
His full name was Norman Jeffrey Healey and he passed away Sunday in the city of his birth, Toronto, at St. Joseph's Hospital.
Healey first began playing guitar at the age of three and formed his first band while still a teenager, according to his website. He played with a very distinctive style, laying his guitar on his lap.
"Visually, Jeff was an intriguing player to watch, because he played guitar -- by any conventional standard -- all wrong, with it flat across his lap," said Flohil. "But he was remarkable, a virtuoso player."
One of his best-known songs, "Angel Eyes," came from the Grammy-nominated album See the Light.
His blues band, simply called the Jeff Healey Band, has sold more than 1 million albums in the United States. But along with rock and blues music, Healey was also an accomplished jazz musician.
