Marcus at work. Pix 9/19/13. Marcus as two jobs. This one is in a health store. It is spotless. On reason is Marcus sweeps the floor every 15 minutes. His other job is across the St. at a restaurant. He works 20hrs per week so he canl not qualify for medical.

Mike working on a levee job along the American River.

Mike and Amber bought a new home last year in Fort Worth.

The contractor tore down an old home and built a brand new one. I outlined the lot in yellow. 

It is a far cry from the Stanley Ave farm days where Mike grew up. Mike and Amber did not seem interested in raising animals. But they did have a lot of elephants in their lives in the last 5 years.
