Patty's Story
Life
This year my husband and I finally bought our first house. We're back in the Southend where we belong. We also adopted a cute dog he was a year old on Nov. 29th. He is a Chinese Crested Powder Puff he's the breed with hair. He needs a hair cut cause it's in his eyes. Anyway we love him and he loves everybody.
We're getting all settled in our house, there are always those minor repairs you have to do. So there's a new project for my husband Jerry every weekend, but he's enjoying it.

I went through Vocational Rehab and learn how to type and was taught the basics in Word Perfect Lotus 123 and how to write a resume.
I then worked at several Hotels in the Omaha, NE Council Bluffs, IA area. I did was a night auditor for each of them. I also work for two Credit Unions.
My last job was taking reservations for Ameristar Casino in Council Bluffs. I then found out I had cancer and due to complication from the surgery I am now disabled.
I have two wonderful children, a boy and a girl, and three grandchildren 2 girls and and boy all my son's children. My daughter is unmarried and happy that way. She went to college to be a teacher but the CB school system isn't hiring. She double majored in English and History.
My son is now working as a IT Tech and taking college classes on line. He's finished now and is working on the second degree. I'm very proud of both my children, both graduated from college with honors. I was lucky I had two very smart children who knew education was important.
