First Posting from Bon Aqua

Hi everyone! We decided there had to be another way, besides email to get news to everyone. We had talked about it before so here it is.

News from the Rushtons. I called Uncle Don last night to tell him I was having squirrel and dumplin's and I was talking to Aunt Martha and she said, "what's wrong?" I said, "what do you mean, the way I'm talking? It's no problem, I just have Bell's Palsy" It really is no problem, what's not to like? Half your face doesn't work and since there was a 50-50 chance to feel it or not, I was one of the lucky ones who gets to experience the full effect of the virus on that nerve. Since it has messes up one of my ears, my equilibrium is messed up, so I get to be car sick watching TV. But I am doing fine. Love to all of you. bsr

In other news, Lyn is working so hard on her senior year that she is exhausted. Has gone to a concert in Nashville this week, had 2 auditions, couple of tests, and rehearsals for All State, and has to take the ACT this weekend. Winterfest (church outing with 10,000 other teens) is next weekend, after MidState performance. She isn't busy. Scott says she has done more in the last 2 weeks than he did his whole senior year.

Aaron isn't busy either. He is in the second semester of his 4 semester senior year at Harding. If you missed the article about Mom in the Bison, go to http://stuffiwrite.blogspot.com and catch it. It should be the second post down. Current funny one about being single I believe is first. Mom's is sweet and tender, not funny.

I'm writing another grant to try to teach teachers for a year again. It's only $538,000.00, so if I mss it, big deal! HA! Five schools this time instead of one, Only about 400 miles of travel a month though at the most, so that is OK. Last time I averaged about 600 with the trip to Florida and wherever else I went besides Nashville once a week. That is about it for me. Other than that I'm trying to keep Scott and Lyn from falling asleep at the supper table and keeping the grandcritters happy.

We love you all and hope this blog experiment will do two things: Keep us all informed and together, and drag some of you kicking and screaming into the 21st century! This IS what I do for a living, ya know! Freda
