Hi Everyone,

I would like to thank those of you who have tried to post to this Blog Site. I wished they would make it a lot easier. I feel it is worth the time it takes to make it work. I am excited about seeing all of us on here just dropping in from time to time to say Hi everyone.

I wonder how 50 years has gone by so fast???? We have all done a lot of different things in the last 50 years--I know my life sure has changed. I retired from the local school district after 24 years of being there. I retired about 1 1/2 years ago. I always tell everyone that retirement is the best job I have ever had. I am still working part-time in a business that I own too. I have a business where I teach First Aid and CPR to various groups of people in the city I live in--Eugene, OR. I also was hired by the company that I became certified to teach a class for them. I work for Medic First Aid International 2 days a month. Now what a great job--working two days a month. I am their Master Trainer, and I train people from all over the United States who want to be First Aid CPR & AED Instructors and Trainers. It is a job that I happen to really enjoy so that is why I continue to do this.

I have enjoyed talking with all of you about this Blog Site and trying to make it easier for you to access it. I have always embraced technology and so I enjoy this type of thing. I do believe that if they would make things easier more people would use the technology. I know that many of you are trying to get it to work. DON'T GIVE UP, we will get it done OK. If you are in contact with people from our class and they haven't been added to the E-mail's that I send out please send me their E-mail addresses. You can send them to me at Suzannesh@aol.com or have them contact me. The more people who know about this site the better it is going to be.

I hope that life is good for you and I really look forward to seeing your postings on OUR Blog site. Enjoy the coming weeks, and I will be checking to see if you have managed to post a Blog.

My life is great, I am happier than I have ever been. I met a wonderful man Bob Beaty about 4 years ago after being single for about 15 years. We are engaged, live together and are just enjoying being engaged at this time. We have (4 Street Rods) that we take to shows all Spring and Summer long. We travel a little and just are enjoying the journey in life together.

Take care everyone,

Suzie Shewmaker
