Finally I have the time to do some up dating on this site. many things have happend since I last worked this site, many things in the world and quite a few around my life.
I wont touch on the things that happend in the world, I really don't think that there is a need for this, since we all know.
As far as my personal life, changes happend, some bad, but most of them were good.

I am now working full time as a caregiver to 2 developmentally challenged people, it is a demanding job, but I really enjoy it and my clients have brought much to my life.

My aunt passed away last year in March after a  prolonged illness and altthough I hadn't seen her in about 11 years, it was a hard blow and I miss her dearly. Also, I have lost 2 of my dear pets, miss minnie, the #1 ferret and carson the guinea pig passed away very unexpectately. Even though they were "only" animals, it was hard to take and I miss them very much.

On this page you will find some up to date pictures of my family and pets.
Up-date for this site June 8,2002
My baby boy did it!!!!!!!!!!!
He is an 2002 graduate!!!!!!!
I am soo proud of him!
Rick J. Kolakowski Jr.
Dawn (stepmother), Rick and his father, Rick Sr.
Cory, his sister, and Rick
Rick and his girl friend, Hilary. She is a sweetie, I like her.
My son and me. I always thought that this day was so far off into the future, but it came faster than I had anticipated. I am happy for him and I wish him the very best for his future.
On June 12th, 2002 Rick will leave for about 4 - 5 months. He has joined the Army Reserve and will be off to Ft. Jackson, SC for basic training and then on to Virginia for advanced training in military occupational specialty - petroleum specialist.
I am going to miss him so very much, but I know that this is what he really wants to do. Afterwards,he plans to attend a local college, but he hasn't really settled on a major yet.
Sam and CJ, our remaining ferret.
Rufus, our newest addition to the family, he is chihuhua and dachshund. He still has a lot to learn, but he is still a baby. In time he will learn the rules. I hope!
Ken is still here, sometimes I wonder how he can stand it here,
because life here  can be stressing at times to say the least.
But I appreciate him being here and being my shoulder for crying and my friend to share things with.
Thank You Honey.
And last but not least, there are 2 new members in my extended family,
Ken's nephew Joe and his wife had a baby boy in May of this Year(?)
and my cousin Manfred and his wife welcomed their 3rd child, a boy also this year.

Congratulations to you!!!!!!
