Mamie
Mamie retired from full time teaching this year. She is currently employed by CAK as a "math consultant" and she works only on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. She assists the teachers in Singapore Math concepts and works with students who are struggling with math. She is finding this job to be both challenging and rewarding. She also tutors a few students after school.
Of course, Mamie is still the organist at Central Baptist Bearden and leads a ladies ensemble.
Gray
Gray is still working full time for AT&T, but as a contractor rather than an employee. He was called back to work after 18 months of retirement which he didn't enjoy. He enjoys his work and the people he works with, who, by the way, are the same people he worked with for many years.
Gray directs the 5th grade Sunday School class at Central Bearden and finds that to also be both challenging and rewarding. He has a great class of around 20 students each Sunday.
As you can see from the following links, we enjoy cruising. A few summers ago, we cruised around the Hawaiian Islands. We also took a Caribbean cruise one summer. Last summer, we went on a Baltic Capitals cruise round trip from Dover, England. That cruise spent two days in St. Petersburg, Russia, which was a real treat. We also took a land tour of Germany, Switzerland, and Austria. Love those Alps! We spent most of this June on a Mediterranean cruise starting in Venice and ending in Bacelona. Before returning home, we stayed a couple of days in Paris. We also visited New Orleans in June so that Mamie could attend a Singapore Math conference. We're trying to visit our "bucket list" places while we're still young enough to enjoy them.
One of our daughters is living in Lexington, KY, and has one of our granddaughters and our only grandson. Our other daughter just move from Nashville, TN to near Austin, TX. We have three grandaughters out there. TOO far away!
We're still waiting on a contractor to tackle our roof that was damaged by the hail storm. It broke out one of our skylights. Luckily, not much else was damaged. Both of our cars were safely in the garage.
