Janice Delucenay:  

2006 Life Pets: Deer (two bucks, Buckie and Babie), one 5 pound poodle (Luckie girl, spoiled rotten). Okay the deer are also spoiled. They will eat animal crackers from your mouth (careful they slobber) Kids: Notice how the pets are listed first? What's that tell you about my kids? Actually they are pretty awesome. My daughter is 30 and is expecting our first grandchild in June (a girl, Olivia Lynn) Keri teaches language arts at the Weightman Middle School in Wesley Chapel, FL. Chad is a Junior at Land O'Lakes High School in Land O' Lakes. He is currently employed by Hungry Harry's Famous B-B-Q. May 2007 UPDATE: My First grandchild has arrived. Olivia Lynn Keeler born May 16, 2007. Yes, she has bumped the pets to second place. She weighed 5 lbs 5.1 oz., 18 inches long. Olivia arrived a little early, but all is well and everyone is home. Grammie (thats me) is totally wrapped up in that little girl. I have waited a long, long time to be a Grammie. I can't wait for the next one!! UPDATE: 11-9-07 Olivia is now six months old and beautiful of course. She is a very happy baby and has quite a personality. She is always smiling. Can you tell, I am hooked on the grammie thing. Olivia spends Tuesday afternoon, evening and all day Wednesday with Grammie and then a couple of hours Thursday and Friday afternoon. She has turned my office into a nursery and keeps the office staff entertained. Chad is a senior this year and I thought I would be done with child rearing. We'll I guess I am, I can send Olivia home whenever...but somehow I don't seem to want to give her up. I had all these plans for travel, etc. and now I am working all those plans around the joy of my life. UPDATE 2-28-08 Life is still the same here in little old Land O' Lakes. Just got back from New Orleans returning from a seminar held over four days. I can't begin to imagine the amount of debris that had to be removed, let alone restoring power, water & sewer service, phone service etc. The downtown area is in full swing but some of the out lying areas have not been repaired. I was quite impressed with the history behind the city myself, however, if you like to party, the French Quarter is the place to be. We were invited to the HOUSE OF BLUES for dinner and special entainment. It was great!!! Oh yeah, we just had to take a swamp boat tour. We finally had to confess to the captain that seeing an Ali-ga-tor wasn't anything new to us. Five days without MISS OLIVIA (you remember, my grandaughter) was difficult. She missed me as much as I missed her. That's all for now. UPDATE 3-2-08 After checking out who has read my profile, I thought I should update those who would like to know where my siblings are. Brother Chuck and his wife Rinnie are living about a minute outside my front gate. We live really close but rarely see one another. Everyone is so busy. Chuck has worked for Hillsborough County Utilities forever. Their daughter Sarah attends FSU. She and my son Chad were born four days apart. My twin sister, Janet passed away in 1995. Her children Wayne Jr. age 26 and Kyle age 20 live two minutes away and I see them quite often. My youngest sibling Doug moved to North Carolina with his wife Annet about 15 years ago and lives there with their two daughters Chelsea 17 and Megan 11. Just a quick Olivia update: I found her first tooth on February 8th, and her second tooth yesterday while having her Easter pictures taken. I'm not supposed to say anything about the second tooth because my daughter wants her daddy to find it. I'm not saying a word. UPDATE 04-06-08 JUST A THOUGHT....I KNOW FIRST HAND HOW SHORT LIFE CAN BE. LIVE IT TO THE FULLEST!!!! UPDATE 5-28-08 Olivia turned one on May 16th. What a joy she is to be around....always smiling. She is walking now and goes non-stop. Chad will graduate on June 5th (FINALLY). My daughter and her husband are going on a cruise for a week in June. Of course, I will have Olivia all to myself for a whole week. JUST ANOTHER THOUGHT...ITS NEVER TOO LATE TO LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER. UPDATE 8-15-08 My son Chad graduated in June and I don't have to buy school supplies any more. He is hoping to get on at the fire department. Olivia, my grandaughter keeps me going. My daughter was home all summer so I didn't get to see Olivia as much. Next week she's all mine! I visited a friend in Minnesota the first week in July. I really like it there. Chad, and his girlfriend Chelsea went with me to Daytona Beach for a week and when we returned I left for Ohio. July has been extremely busy for me. Jury duty called the day after I got back from Ohio. Luckily, we were the first 14 selected and before we could be questioned the trial was cancelled so we all got to go home. The other 150 people left sitting there were not too happy. I will be going to North Carolina in October to visit my brother. UPDATE on the pets: Buckie is an 8 point again this year but BABIE is a ten point and he's only 4 years old. JUST ANOTHER THOUGHT: ITS YOUR SENIOR YEAR IN HIGH SCHOOL AND YOU HAVE ALL THESE PLANS, ARE YOU WHERE YOU THOUGHT YOU WOULD BE? IF NOT, ITS NOT TOO LATE. UPDATE AUGUST 20, 2008 I will be headed to Pennsylania over Labor Day. I have a friend who turned 80 this year. She worked in our office in Bradenton years ago. She has been placed in an assisted living facility and her memory is fading fast. I would like to visit her while she still recognizes me. When I return I have a fundraiser for American Cancer Society to prepare for. This is my nineth year participating in the Horizon of Hope Breast Cancer Awareness program. Wish me luck!!! AND ANOTHER THOUGHT: LIFE IS NOT ABOUT HOW TO WEATHER THE STORM, BUT HOW TO DANCE IN THE RAIN. Hey, I forgot all about Olivia....Well she is just adorable. Five teeth on top, two on the bottom. 31 inches tall and 22.8 pounds, blonde hair and blue eyes. She is very entertaining and loves to smile!! I will post new pictures soon. MARCH 14, 2008 Sorry I haven't updated the profile, just been really, really busy. I have been traveling some and work...Expand for more
