Wednesday Ben Came back.. Things that tickle your fancy 7

 Picture of the day:

Oh yes, Ben let that beard GROW!

Now for today’s stuff:

Ben was doing great in the building industry in Utah; he and Corey worked closely for a few years. Corey moved to Oregon and started driving a truck.

Back in the height of my building I wanted Ben out here. He finally came out and settled down, but by that time I had retired. He has never owned his own place. He rented or lived in with his mother in Utah, but now, thanks to his dad he is buying his own place. I think he has it mostly paid off.

While in Utah Ben and Ashley created a beautiful daughter, they named her Elsie Mae. Like her grandmother Carol, Elsie has red hair.

She is a sweetheart of course and Ben loves her to pieces. Ashley left Utah and moved to Louisiana. Now 'Elle' travels there to visit. Elsie is now 18 years old, Out here she and her Grandpa Jack are near inseparable.

(I like this picture of Ben, WE are still delighted to have him out in our corner of the world.)

Ben is on his third job since being out here. This is a ‘stair building company’ owned by a cousin of Sherece (Sherece’s mother’s side of the family).

His other jobs paid very well, but at times driving 40-50 miles to a job. I think he will be satisfied and do well at this job. It is close by.  WE and his dad are very proud of his work ethic.

Oh yeah, one more of Ben and Sherece helping Grandma in the kitchen...

 I am gonna let Ben go now.  I have one more Grand.  I will talk about him tomorrow. He is the youngest, Luke Vegas.
