* Just notes so I won’t forget
7-86…Daddy was laid off
9-86…Mommy went to work for 3 mos. while Daddy stayed with you
12-86…We sold our house, bought a 2/BR mobile home and moved to Marshall, about 12 mi out of Ripley, WV, Jackson County. Just takes about 20 min. to get to Granny’s in Ravenswood.
1-87…Daddy started electronics school but soon was notified no funds to continue
3-87…Pappy, Daddy, Mommy and Erin went to visit Aunt Bid and Uncle Gene in Orlando, FL. Stayed 2 wks. Erin and Mom got real bad colds.
4-87…Erin developed pneumonia from her cold. I developed an allergy to the sulfa drugs prescribed by a doctor at Drs. Urgent Care in Cross Lanes. We had just gone there for them to check Erin’s ears and throat; that’s when the pneumonia was diagnosed. After 10 days, I developed the allergy, was hospitalized 4 days. Garry went back to FL and we stayed behind to sell trailer, etc.
5-1-87…Garry returned for us; we arrived in Orlando day before Erin’s 4th birthday
8-15-87…Moved to Titusville, FL. Erin became increasingly sad over losing Bo Bo. It took her about 3 mos. of crying off and on over him.
9-15-87…Enrolled Erin in Titusville Christian School. After a few days, she became very upset at the thought of school. After 6 wks., I took her out of the school.
12-16-87…Pappy and Granny came to visit for 5 wks. Lots of juicy oranges on our tree.
2-88…Erin enrolled in First United Methodist Preschool.
4-88…Started resisting going after being off a lot in March due to illness. I think she was too bashful on the playground; but other factors, too. She’s growing up very fast.
5-7-88…We spent day at Ormond Beach, Pam, Kate, her cousin Annie, Richard, Aunt and Uncle, Garry and I. Kate started breaking out w/chicken pox. Badly sunburned.
5-19…Erin had a few chicken pox on her, then fully broke out next day. No fever. Very uncomfortable, but they did not cover her entire body.
6-88…We have been looking for a house for a couple or more months. Interest rates were at 9 ½; now at 10.58 and rising.

Wow, you were really demanding as a baby… glad that changed. :^)
HA! If that was sarcastic, then I stick out my tongue at you in a saucy and impudent manner. If you were being serious, well, it wasn’t my fault the first preschool was clearly an inferior school. And if you’d seen what they made us take naps on, you’d understand.
Those are some high interest rates!
that’s funny
