I'm pleased to say that I am still working at the Controller's Office. I really love my job!! Most of my work is reconciling accounts, mining data for co-workers, and maintaining the Web site, and we've implemented Banner software. Therefore, I stay really busy anymore!! We've been attending church, Faith UMC, in West Monroe, though we go back to St. Paul's when Ken teaches Sunday School. We're still looking into various churches for a church home. Going to try the church at Calhoun and see what it's like.

Also, I have my hobbies, including karaoke, and beading or jewelry making which I began in October of 2006. I've made some striking pieces, though most of my designs are fairly ordinary in my opinion. I tend to like simple designs utilizing crosses as pendant centerpieces. Although I have sold a few necklace sets, but I don't think I'll give up my day job, LOL!! I also like to fish in our pond once in a while, though I don't like to see them hurt. They get put back in the pond as slightly injured but much smarter fish!! Luckily, the koi do not bite hooks, so they've been fine thru my fishing.

However, now I'm in horse mode, due to the purchase in March 2008 of a Missouri Fox Trotting Horse. Kajun's Sweet Sugar (Sugar) is now a 7-year-old mare, who is going back to a horse trainer since she's developed a loading problem. Ken and I are members of the Louisiana chapter (Web site I designed for them) of the national organization, The Missouri Fox Trotting Horse Breeder's Association (MFTHBA) of which I am a member. I'm also the newsletter person as of this year. In addition, I'm involved with the Magnolia Corgi Festival group, and a member of the Cotton Country Open Horse Show Association, based in Ruston. There are at least four horse shows we want to attend this year, three of theirs and one fox trotter show in Bastrop.

Trying to find time to keep up with all my hobbies, like crocheting, is difficult. Too many hobbies--too little time, LOL!!!!!........
