Jacob's parents have done well!

I haven't really made much time for LJ lately, mostly because I just haven't felt inspired to update with the bazillion and one things that just keep happening ( Read more... )

Once again I find it almost impossible to make the time to update this thing, but I wanted to share a bit of unhappy news from yesterday morning. Apparently, my wife was very rudely awakened when an EF1 tornado caused a large part of the ash tree that keeps refusing to die to go from my front yard into my bedroom. Luckily, my wife only had some ( Read more... )

Wow, I can't believe that I have let a month slip by without posting anything here. (I wonder if anybody else has noticed?)

Maybe I will get around to updating everything that has transpired lately, but as of now, I am still ( Read more... )

I forgot to mention in my post yesterday, that my wife's friend Shirley (Roland's wife who broke his neck in a car wreck) went back to the hospital while we were returning from Lost Wages.

In memory of family and friends who have lost the battle with cancer; and in support of the ones who continue to conquer it! Post this on your LJ if you know someone who has or had cancer.

My family will grow,
In another seven months,
A new grandbaby!

Will be able to attend
The birth yet to come.
