Great Northwest!

Being actively unemployed, still searching for a job, I have volunteered to spend three weeks in Seattle, Everett, to be exact. I will be helping out my Aunt Marge (see, "She's a Pepper!") who is still recovering from a stroke she had over the summer. So I will become Nurse-Housekeeper-Laundress-Chef Jenn from now until Dec. 15.

I'm really excited. I've always loved Seattle and always have a great time with the Peterson Clan! And, hopefully on this trip, I'll also be able to spend even more time with Alicia and Anthony (see, "Vegas Fun") since they are at McChord AFB!

I'll be sure to post about all my adventures and fun stories that I'm sure my Uncle Lyle has ready to tell!

She's a Pepper!

My family had a recent scare earlier this week. My Aunt Marge suffered a stroke and was in a coma. The entire family, all planning on a great family reunion in a few weeks, was all extremely worried for her and her immediate family.

Seems, however, that she is starting to improve (no actual medical updates at post-time) and actually woke up yesterday ... Opening her eyes she said, "I think I'd like a Dr. Pepper."

As my mother so plainly stated, this family needs to invest in Dr. Pepper stock! A few years ago Aunt Marge and Uncle Lyle were in a serious car accident where the car rolled. As rescuers tried to free them from the car, they became alarmed at fluid that was leaking from the vehicle, worried it might be gasoline. Nope, no need to worry ... it was just a case of Dr. Pepper that had be punctured during the accident!

So Aunt Marge, I hope you get your Dr. Pepper real soon! I join the rest of the family, I'm sure, in my prayers for your speedy recovery!
