Bill & Lena Wed ... Congratulations

Congratulations, Jennifer!

Jennifer is currently in Iraq. She left her son behind with her parents to care for him in her absence. Recently, Jennifer emailed me a list of items she was in need of overseas. Immediately, Woody & I set out to gather a care package for her. A couple of days ago she emailed that she'd just been notified that she was coined by a Congressman. Just want to congratulate you, SSgt J.H. Thompson! Good Job! Also, a thank you from us for your service to our country. Hope you return home soon.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO CARMEN

WOW, 43 years old today and here I am with my two of my three grandchildren, Juanita & Luke. They'll be coming to visit me in August as a belated birthday gift.

Happy Father's Day

Woody and I hope that every father is blessed with a wonderful day. May your day be filled with your children, grandchildren, and all your loved ones. We regret that we must be away from home for yet another holiday. Woody's Dad turned 81 this month. My Dad turned 63. They are both wonderful men that have both worked hard all their lives for their families. And although we can't be with them today, they know that we are happily working on projects that give us satisfaction and bring us much joy. Although, we'll have to work today, we're going to take time to do what others do on Father's Day....Watch the Nascar Race, cookout, and force ourselves not to think about MONDAY. Happy Father's Day!

Happy Birthday to My Dad...

My Dad, Richard Thompson aka Hun. My son was attached to his grandparents from birth until we moved when he was about three years old. He would here my Mom call my Dad Hun short for Honey. When he started speaking he would call my Dad Hun thinking that was his name. Well, it stuck. My parents have 23 grandchildren! All the grandchildren call him Hun. This is a picture of my Dad a few months ago when my brother got married. My Dad is a Deacon at the Catholic church and a wonderful man of God. What a blessing he is to me in my life. Happy Birthday, Hun. I sure do miss you.

When we were doing the McDonald's in Littlefield, my Dad would come out to talk to Woody everyday to see how the project was going. Him and my entire family and the city for that matter pitched in any way they could. It's so interesting to see how helpful people in smaller communities get so excited when we build in their towns.
