Other people's blogs

We have been enjoying other people's blogs tonight. It is fun to hear about funny conversations with children. It is also not so funny to read about bitter people. Someone we know wrote about a time that people tried to be nice and they decided to be offended instead. Mission accomplished.

Am I sounding bitter? :)

The Day of Rest

Crazy weekend! We started re-roofing the house last weekend. Just in time for the deluge on Memorial Day. We also discovered that we needed to re-attach the covered patio back on to the house before it collapsed and killed someone. The patio part was done during the deluge. We finished the roof yesterday afternoon.

Here is a list of supplies:
22 squares of shingles, 38 sheets of OSB wood, lots of nails, a full can of tar, about 8 rolls of tar paper, 3 rolls of ridge venting, 3 packs of hip/ridge shingles, lag bolts and angle iron for the patio, lots of pizza and tacos, friends and family.

Peace of mind? Priceless

After the roof, we started tearing out the bathroom where the roof leaked.

Today is the Sabbath - the day of rest. Thank you for that.

Time gets away from me...

It has been almost 2 years since I wrote last. This is as bad as my hard copy journal.

I have changed jobs since my last post. I have graduated from the world of the vampires and now work days. I am now a sysadmin for a Coca-Cola bottler. It is keeping me very busy.

The kids are growing up - I know have 2 teenagers and one of them is getting ready to drive! Ouch!. My baby turned five and is starting kindergarten this year. To add insult to injury, I turned 40! Oh, the misery.

Today was Memorial Day. I normally love this holiday. I served for 6 years in the Air National Guard and love to find time to think about those that served and made the ultimate sacrifice for my country. I haven't found the time yet. I think I need to sign off and go spend some time being grateful.
