The longest day
Why is it that the last day before a vacation is the longest day of the year? In just 24 hours we’ll be on our way. I am mostly packed, and the kids are all packed up.. "Can we go now?" The kids are ready now!

Some fun findings
Living in a house built in 1871 is fun for a lot of reasons. We love being in a house with history and knowing that many families have raised many kids within it’s walls. A truly fun thing is finding little bits of evidence of their existence. One of these "discovery" moments is happening as…

I am ready now!
13 days until we leave for our vacation. I’ve never been to Florida, but it sounds really good. The last few days have been non-stop from dawn-dusk and I am ready for a break. p.s. I think LF went pretty good last night. Raya, Aradith, and Autumn did a great skit that set up the…

A couple of March goals
The old saying is that March comes in like a Lion and leaves like a Lamb. If that is so, I have a couple of things I’d like to do in March. We’ll see how it goes. 1. Play golf I’m not talking about at the golf dome, I mean at Romeo Golf Course. I…

Homebound
After last weeks running around (I haven’t had a meal home in a week) I will be home or nearly home for the next month. Lord willing, our next significant trip is our vacation at the end of March to Florida. It feels good to know that.

Family Update
It’s good to be home today. We don’t have any big plans, but it is nice to have a day where I only have a little bit of stuff to do. Adam: I’ve got some YMX stuff to do today, and I need to get us started on our taxes. How well I planned in…
