What years did you attend CHS/UHHS ?
I joined the Navy, got married, had kids, got divorced, moved on, moved down, moved up, and got lots older--and heavier!
About you: where you currently live, what has life been like since your days at UHHS/CHS?, what kind of job do you have?
Hello everyone!

My three foster girls left me over a month ago, and I have a new little guy in the home. It is so peaceful and quiet with just 5 kids in the home....

James is the baby brother to Charles--the little guy I am holding in the photo. James just turned 1. He is something of a grand nephew, but not by blood. I've applied to adopt him. His brothers are in the custody of his paternal grandparents.

...I keep hoping to get out of foster parenting, but it is sort of an addiction. It is not that I even want to quit, it just seems best for Little Joyce--the little girl I adopted--starts kindergarten tomorrow, turned 5 recently... She has a hard time with losing foster siblings, and so I hope to adopt this little guy and move on... Any advice?

I like to surf fish. I love the ocean. It brings me tranquility. I feel close to God--which oddly enough, does not help me catch any fish--but I love it!

This is an update--if you missed my "autobiography," I am very sorry to hear that. You can always contact me personally--I'm an open book.

My kids start school tomorrow, 08-18. Florida does 'better' on the nationwide scores by making their kids start school in August--it used to be the first week of August, but they changed that last year. When do the kids where you live start school? I remember being in California and starting the third week of September, but of course, that was 1970s. Dang, I went and got old....I was just minding my own business, too.

My daughter Grace starts school tomorrow. She has pretty much had my computer for the last couple of months, so I have not been on hardly at all. She starts 7 classes this year and is still finishing up 3 from last year on-line... Well, she wants to be an anesthesiologist--this ought to test her abilities to juggle way too much info and homework.

Faith is a flautist--and well, I'm impressed. I took clarinet lessons myself--until the first week when I discovered how hard an instrument was to play. I own a few guitars, too... (Key word--own.) Personally, I am lucky I can play the radio...and since the very first thing I do when I turn on a radio is remove all bass, my kids don't even think I can play the radio. Faith is getting her driver's license any day now--as soon as our schedules are not too busy to go and take the test--and she is 6 months from turning 18. She is the age I was when I moved to England--give or take some weeks. That is a happy memory.

My son Jeff is a motorcycle junkie--for lack of better words... I usually see him around town on a very powerful motorcycle... Now I know why some species eat their young. They must know in advance, "This one will worry you!!!" : ) He is the reason I color my hair...oh, just kidding.

My first born, Cindy, she has a ring 13 chromosome. Recently she was given the diagnosis of probable autism, too. Wow! After 20+ years, I hear "autism." So many people asked me over the years if that was what she had, and now that I've researched it, she certainly does, but she would be quite high-functioning in that. However, she has a partial deletion of the long and short arms of a 13th chromosome and the ends also stuck together forming a ring; so foremost, she has a ring 13 chromosome, also known as a 13 ring. This marks her first year of no school. She is a joy to have around. If you came over, she'd make you tea and dote on you... She is so loving.

Keep me in your prayers, and I'll add you to mine if you'd like!

Take care everyone! God bless.

My birthday 2008 marked the death of a dear child that my family and I loved. She was born 07-03-06 (on my baby brother's birthday) and she was killed 12-08-08 on my birthday. It has been a hellava year.

Hi Joyce!
Good to touch base with you again! The e-mail address you had for me was still good, by the way, it's just that I had such a huge backlog of e-mails it took a while before I got to it! I'll try to be better about keeping in touch from now on
hugs,
Mali
