Fumes!

Monday, July 31st, 2006

Got home from work and the house is rocking with fumes from wood stain. Whee - getting high. The wood is stained for the new windows now at least, but man - sure wish today wasn’t the hottest day of the year so I could open a window. Wow. Once it cools off a […]

Here are some of the flood pics from one of the guys I work with.

Rain/Flood

Thursday, July 27th, 2006

Wheeee - what a day. Storms moved through the area today just about lunch time. We could see the street outside my office flooding a bit - and a short while later, uhm, eek. The building fire alarm went off. It wasn’t a pulsing alarm like normal, but constant. The rain was coming down […]

Eeek - Money pit stikes again

Wednesday, July 26th, 2006

The contractor is here working on the house today to replace the front two windows. After he got the siding off of one of the windows, he discovered that the board board under the window was rotting out. *big sigh* It sounded like the studs under it were still good (nails came out hard). Well, […]

The money pit

Monday, July 24th, 2006

Hmm, I think my house is starting to show its age based on the amount of $$ I am putting into it (or need to put into it). The new front windows are sitting in my garrage waiting for installation (Wednesday if the weather holds). While mowing the lawn after last week, I noticed […]

Hot

Saturday, July 15th, 2006

Tourist day complete and we are down to 30 hours (ish) left in San Antonio. Took the river boat tour - that was hot as we were sitting in the sun for 30 min. Took the quick 5 min tour of the alamo (required stop when you are in San Antonio). Then the […]

Well, the first full day is complete. Kids this time were up until curfew (so less sleep for me). Overall I think we had a really good day. Got the kids together for the “that’s tight” or “yeah God” round of how the day went. All sounded positive. The speakers in the evening sessionwere […]

Where’s Waldo

Thursday, July 13th, 2006

Wow - ever try and keep track of 27 people (22 kids, 5 adults) in a sea of 24,000? Can be challenging, but so far I haven’t lost anyone. If you haven’t guessed yet, I am currently in TX for the ELCA national youth gathering. This is the first full day […]

Wedding #2 & #3

Tuesday, July 4th, 2006

Ok, so wedding numbers two and three have passed. No idea how number 2 went (Gretchen Weller) as it was in Madison, but I was in California for wedding number three. Pictures from my trip are posted in the Gallery. The wedding was one of the more fun times I have had at a […]
