Kansas State Fair
Today, I drove to the Kansas State Fair. It wasn't too far of a drive, just two hours each way. I rolled down all of the windows and the sunroof, cranked up the radio, and pretended that it was a convertible. Good thing it wasn't really, though, because I drove through a patch of rain ( Read more... ) -
Summer fun
In late July/ early august, dodge city had their dodge city days. It was fun. We went to the bully fry, I went to the barbecue festival and the cowboy parade. A lot of the week it was too hot to do anything, so we sipped most of the events. It was a good excuse for me to wear my cowboy boots. we got free tickets to the rodeo from our friend Johnny ( Read more... ) -
Sad baby bunnies
The neighbors found some tiny baby bunnies in the yard last week their dog was playing with the babies. We tried moving the nest but lost track of the injured one with closed eyes, one was already dead, and one was ok but is now not getting fed and looks emaciated. It is very sad.

Food for thought
If there are people out there who believe that today would be rapture, are there also people out there who believe the rapture already happened (like maybe on October 24, 1929) and we just don't realize that we're already living in a post-apocalyptic world because we have low standards?

Not much
Didn't do much today. Worked late. Lots of job stress. Taking over half of someone else's job is hard work. At least we all got a bonus this year. That'll pay for the landscaping and new gutters.

Gardens
The past week, we have been putting in gardens. Last week Wednesday, we had a truck of dirt dumped on our driveway. We spent every day Wednesday through Sunday hauling dirt around to put it around the foundation. We also built four small herb gardens and a vegetable garden in back, and a flower garden in front. We used about 3/4 of the dirt, ( Read more... ) -
First month as a homeowner
The closing went well. The closing costs were a lot less than we expected, which was a good thing.
The first day, We got all the utilities turned on and I picked up our cable equipment, but it turns out that they couldn't turn on our service until the next day, which meant that I had to drag my computer back over to the hotel and work in the dark ( Read more... )
