Wow, it's been interesting....

Someone has recently reminded me that my last update was like, a month ago. Things have gotten pretty hectic. Things are getting more fast paced at work, so I'm not wasting time like I was used to. DARN! :) Also, I've had some projects recently that have taken a lot of my attention.

As I have stated, my mom is in the candy business. Well, up until my dad died, she was in the candy business. After that - she's been sortof not quite in the candy business - she doesn't like to go down to the studio shop that my dad built. I don't blame her. But it is her only means of income. She's not young anymore, and she has bad feet - working for "the man" again wouldn't work for her. I created and manage her website. Candy season is Halloween through Mother's Day. As time progresses, she's getting more into things. This year has been pretty light, for her and for me. For next season, I think she will decide if she wants to continue doing it or not.

My uncle is getting very old, and is not well at all. He's been diagnosed with prostate cancer, and it has spread throughout his body and has started to get into the bone. He doesn't have much longer. My prayers are with him, and my mom - as she has now lost 7 people in about a 15 month period, with her brother not far behind.

Recently, my mom ended up with some family history we didn't know about. Come to find out my great-great-great Grandparents (on my Grandpa's side) were converted to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Ireland and decided to join the rest of the Saints in their migration west. My grandfather was part of the Mormon Militia and was a bodyguard for the Prophet Joseph Smith. Wow. Anyway, I was "commissioned" to read the stories that were provided to my mom and record them for my uncle who is nearly blind and very hard of hearing as well. That was interesting, and definitely gave me new perspective on my life and where it was heading. It also made me ponder... what kind of legacy will I leave behind for MY children?

More later, but I thought I'd at least give you this much!
