Small Update

Not too much new happening.

Spent a bit of time on each of the last few days with the chainsaw and the truck. We got some trees cut down in the area where we will (eventually) be putting in an in-ground pool with waterfall and slide. I've been cleaning up the mess from downing about 10 really big trees. Of course my chain saw is not one of those industrial ones. I've got the Craftman model for homeowners. Let me tell you... it is NOT designed for the work I'm making it do.
Anyway... still a couple of trees to cut up into 18-24" pieces. There will be plenty of wood for my boys to split next Spring!

Looks like most of our clan is just about done with all that sickness mess that was going around. I've just about shaken my cough. Definitely getting tired of swigging the "tussin" from the bottle!

Baseball season is starting to rev up. Got several kids playing ball this year so we should be on the road a good bit.

Gas prices are killing me (as I'm sure they are everyone else). Sometimes I'd just love to stop driving altogether.

Sure would be nice to win the powerball... $275 million! But I don't play the lottery. Have you ever done the "what if" game with that much money!? Oh well.

That's about it for today. Hope everyone is enjoying their extra hour(s) of daylight. I know I am.

Happy Anniversary to Me!

It's that time of year again!
Today marks the 23rd anniversary of our trip to the court house in Opelika, Alabama.
23 years of holy headlock as Steven Curtis Chapman calls it.

I gotta say that this particular anniversary will probably be totally uneventful. I will spend most of the day asleep (I'm working nights this weekend). My wife will spend most of the day at an Awana competition. We'll see each other in passing a couple of times but that's about it.

Hopefully we'll go out to dinner sometime later next week.
The reality of it is, I've got some type of bronchial mess happening and giving her a kiss today would be a bad idea. She really doesn't need to be sick. So, I'll wish her a happy anniversary by card and email and try to do a few more items on the honey do list. That will have to suffice for today.

I don't know... seems like I should put more significance on the celebration of our wedding anniversary. Sorry to say that it has become "just another day" much like most of the holidays throughout the year. Is this normal? Is this what happens to most people? I think I need to spend some time with the Lord and get some refining done. Can I get an amen?
