    Memories of the Month {9.2012}

    August 31, 2012 - By 

    This month I was happy about: getting away from it all for a week. This month I was sad about: coming back to all and dealing with a water leak, water damage, and rodents who decided to inhabit our house while we were gone. Something I accomplished this month is: getting my water bill fixed after calling twice and having a water guy come out so I could prove that had messed up! Something new I did was: zipline in the jungles of Honduras. Books I read were: Wild at Heart by John Eldredge (couldn’t finish) Pecans: A Savor the…

    Bon Voyage, Y’all

    August 30, 2012 - By 

    This month has been crazy!! I have been swamped with soccer league and soccer tourney pics the last month. I’ve barely had time to be excited about sailing on Saturday…OK, I admit, I’ve made time to be excited about our cruise. This past weekend me and a friend who I hired to help me shoot a soccer tourney took over 9,000 total pictures. So this week, we had to weed through them and thank goodness for Rob has gotten them put on the online galleries. So most hours that I was not working, this week I’ve spent them dealing with…

    August 30, 2012 - By 

    This month I was happy about: the excitement of going on the cruise. This month I was sad about: the death of Bob Birch (Long time guitarist for Elton John) & Neil Armstrong. Somethings I accomplished this month are: getting the soccer league pictures taken. Now when I get back, I have to finish editing and ordering and delivering. Something new I did was: switched cable from Charter to Knology to save $50 a month! Books I read were: none, to busy to read. Movies I watched were: Gnomeo & Juliet another movie…can’t remember what it was called TV Shows…

    Crustaceans

    While discussing the fact we’ll get to eat lobster on the cruise, Drew says, “I’m not sure I like crustaceans!” I laughed for 5 minutes straight after that.

    So I never told you about the scooter….

    August 21, 2012 - By 

    Yah, so I’m just a few months late getting this story up. Nothing too exciting really. I just needed pictures of the thing was the main hold back. A friend of ours was moving and hence, selling a bunch of stuff. One of the things they were getting rid of was this scooter. We thought of several reasons why we thought it might be good to get it. We took it for a test drive and bought it the next day. We don’t drive it on a regular basis now, but it is nice to have a 3rd form of…

    Back to School {2012}

    August 20, 2012 - By 

    School finally started today! It was supposed to start 2 weeks ago, but just before school was out our state legislature decided to mandate schools to start later this year. For years they’ve been talking about forcing schools to start after Aug. 20th, because “it’s hurting our beach tourism.” Anyway, we were all happy for school to be back in session. I was real happy with the teacher that Alex got. Drew had Mrs. S for 3rd grade, so I was happy that Alex got her too! I think it’s going to be a great year. We had a good…

    Library Story #5

    August 14, 2012 - By 

    Today at work a lady called in reference to her son’s bursar bill that had a fine for a book that was never turned in. She wanted to know what the title of the book was. Well with a specific question like that we get into the issue with privacy. I politely told her due to privacy reasons, I couldn’t answer any specific question such as that. My boss happened to be standing there and he joked saying that we could have all sorts of issues if we were to talk to parents about their kids’ accounts, like what if…
