UPDATE

Well, Stacey should be at her site starting today for her first visit. Santa Catalina. The name even sounds relaxing to me. Of course, today I'm working from home and tomorrow have taken the day off. I have 3.5 days to take before the end of the month otherwise I would lose them and I can't see that happening. Have scheduled a doctor's appt tomorrow but otherwise I just plan on an easy going day. Sushi had me up early this morning for his daily constitutional. Can't say that I was in a big hurry to get up. Anyway, hope everyone's week is great and hopefully we will see some pictures from Stacey next week. Hard to believe that her training period is almost over and graduation is just around the corner (6/30).

UPDATE

Spoke to Stacey Sunday evening and she sounded good. Even after her ordeal with the chicken "murders". She didn't eat chicken for four days. Poor thing! She will be going to visit Santa Catalina in another week and will meet the 3 different host families where she will be spending the next 3 months after graduation (which is June 30th). Easy day for Kaye to remember. She got to spend a night in a hotel in Santiago last week - stayed with 3 other girls in a room and cost only $7. per person and it was AIR CONDITIONED! The hotel also did their laundry. She is learning to appreciate some of the more modern luxuries of life. One item that she has really started to miss is listening to American music. She will let us know what kind of CD's she likes so maybe we can mail her some when she is at her site. Also, she wanted to let us know that she will be getting an address in Santa Catalina soon and will send us her new address. I mailed her a package in April and it only took 2 weeks to get to her. I was surprised but pleased. I mailed her another one a week ago and waiting to see when it arrives. I would love for some of us to plan a short vacation next summer to go and visit her. She found out that she doesn't have to use vacation days as long as she stays in her site so she would only have to take a day to come to Panama City to meet us. Something to ponder over the next year.

I PASSED MY TEST

Well, another insurance exam under my belt! This one was really hard for me. Guess that's a sign that I'm getting older. That will definitely be the last one for awhile. Haven't heard from Stacey in awhile. She was supposed to be headed to a different region this past week in Veragus. I believe she will be headed to Santa Catalina soon for a visit to her new home for the next two years. Looks like a great place to be. Electricity, running water (maybe indoor facilities) and a beach to be lazy on!

STUDY STUDY STUDY

Growing older doesn't stop the need for education. I've been busy studying for an insurance exam which I will take this Friday and hopefully be done for awhile. Just to bring everyone up to date - all is well at the Herndon Household. I haven't taken any nosedives into the pavement lately and my chin has healed nicely. Sushi got his "summer haircut" yesterday and looks more comfy (even though I like him with more hair). Expecting some rain today in the forecast (even though my body doesn't exactly agree with the forecast). That's a first! JC & I are starting Conversational Spanish classes next Thursday at our church. It will be fun just to get out and keep up with what Spanish we learned in Mexico. Will help when I get to take a trip to visit Stacey next year.

Well, time to get going to work. Carpool will be here in a few minutes.
