The Rumors are TRUE!

Okay, before you all have to make that call home, yes, Dad has been laid off for eleven weeks.  General Motors announced today that they were laying everyone off at the plant for the next eleven weeks (starting May 4th).  He doesn't have to be back at work until July 20th, and even then, he has to take his five weeks of vacation before the end of the year, or he loses it.  I know he is going to take the week of July 20th off also, because he wants to be able to spend some time with baby Nora.  At last discussion, Nora was going to stay with us for a few days while Mom attends some classes at SU.  Now Grandpa can enjoy Nora too!

We'll probably have to take some time off when Rusty and Meridth have little Ushie.  We'll have to save our pesos so we can fly out!

So anyway, expect long visits this summer.  We'll have to pack our own Aerobed to save on hotel bills. And, of course, road dog food rules!
