Ok, Thanksgiving is over...for another year. My birthday too. I can't believe how much goes on around here on a daily basis ( Read more... )

Well, it's been a rough few weeks. I can't believe it's been over a month since I updated this thing. Goes to show how busy things are going. Last Friday, I sent out a note telling everyone that I'd soon be done at TRW. Looks like I'm done now - and not because I finished the work that needed to be done! Saturday night, Dave, Sam and I went to ( Read more... )

So I guess it's been a while.  Seems it gets longer and longer between updates.  There's always a lot going on, and time is such a limited commodity that gets spent so fast.

Dave's race went well.  He and his team placed in the top 25 out of 350 teams...not bad again for the over 40 set.  The entire weekend went well.  Sam drove and I ( Read more... )

It's settled. We need to upgrade on the camper. This one shrunk, or the kids got bigger. We've had it for 7 years or so - bought used, so definitely got our use out of it. We're looking at hard side campers with bunk beds. Between 4 kids and 2 dogs, we just don't have the room in the old pop up! It was just so perfect when the kids were ( Read more... )

Man, I haven't even been on this thing in a while. Except for at work, that is. I just don't seem to have the time anymore and it just doesn't seem like a high priority when I'm home, either. It's bad enough I have to get on to pay my bills...I'd just as soon write checks! Right now, I'm in the middle of ballooning a drawing for dimensional ( Read more... )

Can't believe how long it's been since I last updated. This summer is just flying by ( Read more... )

Finally, it's summer! Well, sort of a semblence of summer vacation, anyway. VBS wrapped up last week - talk about stress! Jackie missed it this year because she was at summer camp, but Sarah attended and Luke operated the AV equipment. I was one of the music directors and we had 65 children this year. Awesome! Last Sunday, it was a trip: Dave ( Read more... )

We just got back from our vacation. Camping in Michigan. Only one day was a washout, but we caught up on our sleep! We really did have a good time. I am still amazed at how people buy these expensive camper trailers, put them on a site in a campground 10 miles from home and go there every weekend. I guess it's sort of like having a summer home ( Read more... )

I'm going through people withdrawl. The party was a blast. OK, parties. My house if effin trashed. I mean, bad. Real bad. I'm so embarrassed having Sam's dad & sister here. We're not always drinking and living like slobs. Just this weekend! We had, in the order of arrivals: Bill, Kyle, Robin, Mike, Stacia, Kaitlyn, Mom, Annie, Caryanne, ( Read more... )
