1 year done.

As of last Saturday, Aaron has been in jail for 1 year. It doesn't seem like it's been a year already, how time is flying by. Aaron said it didn't seem like it had been a year either. He still has at least 8 months to go and that is only if he makes parole, if denied he still has another year.
For the last few weeks Aaron has been telling us about 2 dogs that were being adopted by the jail from an animal rescue here in town. They finally arrived last week and Aaron seems to be enjoying handling one of them.
Aaron is the primary caretaker for Wilson. There is an article in the local paper with a picture of a few inmates with the dogs. Aaron is in this picture. He looks happy!! I'll link the story online if anybody is interested. I wish they had put the picture online also because the quality of the picture in print isn't very good.

Aaron is no longer determined to have himself moved to another jail. There seems to be quite a few positive changes in him over the last month. He is talking about how much he is learning in the work shop. They have been working on several brands of mowers and tractors. They have also planted the garden that will feed the inmates for many months. He was pissed off when he first found out he wouldn't be going back to the mowing crew but has changed his tune now.

Can anybody tell me why I can never get the text for the link to work? Shouldn't it display the text I want versus the URL I put in? I know I have seen it work the right way on many pages.

Wilson
I was able to take this picture of Wilson on Sunday. He looks like he is taking his guarding job very seriously.


Our annual trip to Vegas is coming up. We leave Sunday and will come back the next Sunday. I am ready to get away. This year I will even call it a vacation instead of a business trip since the "business" part of this trip is only 2 days out of  8.
