I've let too many days pass since I've made an entry. This has been a busy fall for me. But I wasn't going to let today pass without getting the memories down ( Read more... )

Work and school have kept me from livejournal. But I have some time now, at the moment. The first Sunday of each month is usually reserved for people's testimony at my church. It's called Fast Sunday, where we fast for two meals before we meet, take the sacrament and thus break the fast. Our daughter wanted to bear her testimony. It wasn't the ( Read more... )

History note: We got the house for such a good deal because the judge was making them sell the house at appraisal value as part of their divorce. So that's at least two ( Read more... )

I'm not the type of guy who gets off on having the mucliest muscle car in town. But I have a cousin that works at Phil-Bachman Toyota dealership. And I took the Town & Country to get the air-conditioner checked, the guy at the repair shop (not the one at the dealership) said it was a good time to trade it in while it was still running. It ran fine ( Read more... )
