Michael back to being a Red Raider

All to soon, the summer is over and Michael is off to Lubbock for his Junior year of college. It seems like this summer offered its share of challenges with Michael looking everywhere trying to find a job. He managed to find a one-day-at-a-time hard labor job which required him to show up each morning at 5:30 and hope to get picked to work that day at minimum wage and most of the time was sent home without a job for the day along with so many others. Many of these jobs requiring him to lift over 100 pounds by himself. He found himself working  for three different temp agencies. He felt fortunate to get a short term job at Wal-mart through one of the temp agencies.Then finally, he eventually landed a job the last 5 weeks of the summer for The Jewelry Channel. It was truly the easiest of all the jobs he had this summer and the one that he enjoyed the most. Hopefully he will be able to work for them when he comes home for Christmas Break. They really like his work and are open to the idea. We will sure miss Michael. With him here, the entire Sharp family has been within 5 miles of the house the whole summer. It was an awesome summer and one that I will always remember.

Pwew-fume

My daughter asked me to pick up her son Dallin from day camp today. I had been shopping to get Michael's back-to-school stuff and Dallin was "helping" unload the car. When I opened the trunk it smelled like the wood chips as Craig had used the car trunk to load yard supplies and had left the plastic bags in the back that had held the chips. Dallin said, "Nana, your car smells funny. It smells like Pwew-fume". Out of the mouths of babes. That was my laugh for the day.
