Posting for Richard



We Look like a bunch of out-laws!



I will post this because I feel sorry for my dad and he also needs a good swift kick in the pants for not updating. So far Dad and Sherri have been really working hard and keeping themselves busy. They have put a lot of time into their house and i must say I think it looks great. They got a new front door in and it looks huge! And they painted their pepto colored house brown. What a difference that makes. They gave each of us kids a great Christmas and everyone enjoyed themselves. Sherri even managed to surprise my dad by getting him a Wii! He got a little upset with her because they weren't supposed to get each other anything but it was great to see him surprised. We got it all set up for them and we sat down and played The Price is Right. I think that they are really liking this system.

Dad recently got called to be over the 11 year olds for scouting and he seems to be really liking it. He sounded frustrated because their leader before him really didn't do anything with the boys but play games with them so dad is in major catch up mode with most of the boys who are about to graduate to the 12 year olds.

As the rest of the family goes they really try hard to keep everyone happy and they are and have been doing a great job. We have had some difficulties in the family and some have stayed away for their own reasons but dad and Sherri have really done as much as they can to try to bring the family together. I have come to realize that as much as we want to try to help and get those individuals back on the right track it is ultimately up to them. I along with Jolynn have told dad to keep his head high and realize that he has done all he can and that he has to know that he taught these people right from wrong and that the he has to just hope that some day they will be back. At least he has us around to bring them up and keep them trudging along.

We love you Dad and Sherri!!!!

Great new post! I don't know who wrote it (Lyndsey or Brian?) but you did a wonderful job. Cute new pictures of Richard and Sherri too. I also love the new background! Maybe next time you can do a "live" interview, you know, ask them questions and then post the answers...just a thought.

May God bless you and we love you lots and miss you. Jaydon sends kisses and hugs!

I'd love a review of "The Price Is Right" and whether Helen would like it or not. I wish our weather permitted more home improvement but we are able to do some things indoors. What's with the Sheryl? An inside joke from Dick's past? I think it should be "leaving on a jet plane." Love you two!!!

I check your Blog every few days hoping to find something At last I hit "Pay Dirt." Thank you, Lyndsey. I am with you. I know Richard and Sherri have done their best as far as the family goes. Their comes a time when we have to take responsibility for our own actions. I love Richard so much and Sherri too for the support she has given him.I always enjoy my visits there so much. They make me feel so welcome. When I thaw out in the spring maybe I can make it again. Love to both of you. And Lizzie too.

Love Mom
