Birthday for Ashley


Well tomorrow is Ashley's 18th birthday. She's 18 going on 13. We are going to Bartlesville to the go carts she loves and then to eat out at Garfield's. They will stand her on a chair and sing Happy Birthday to her and she will love that.

Ashley has lived with my daughter and her husband this year to finish high school. Her mother and father broke up while our son was in Iraq and Ashley was the collateral damage. She failed her junior year because of no supervision and no direction and came to stay with me to make it up in summer school. Then, because of the messy divorce, she stayed on with the family for her senior year. She has excelled with my daughter and son-in-law. He is a teacher and she is a controller at a nursery nearby. They have seen to it that she had extracurricular activities such as forensics and track. She injured her leg and had to drop out of track but she excelled in forensics. She is a very talented artist and actress.

She will soon go live with her mother and go to college. Her mother has moved to Texas this week to be near her father and stepmother.
