Visiting with the Children

Yesterday we got together at Alyssa and Dan's to celebrate Dan's birthday; Alyssa had invited some of Dan's friends to get together with Dan to play Basketball and when they finished they all met back at the house for a sports themed party. All of the children were there except for Aaron and Tami.

Toni and Chucky had just returned from their trip to Florida and got there a little late and Andrea, John and Brandon were there ahead of us. We had a good time, good food and got a chance to catch up on what everyone was up to. We finally left a little after 2100 and it was still pretty light out; if fact I was a little surprised at how light out it was.

Then today was kind of a mixed day, part of it was overcast and part of it was really sunny; part of the day there was very little wind and then this afternoon the wind picked up and at times it blew around thirty-seven miles per hour.

This morning I stopped by and picked up the spool for my line trimmer that I broke last week, so now when I get an opportunity I can go on the other side of the fence and whack some weeds.

Remember that clean driveway that I had for the last couple of days, well after the wind the driveway and front lawn are covered with fir pollen pods and fir cones. I guess that with home ownership comes always having something that needs to be done.

Then tonight Becca had her kindergarten graduation, so we went to her school after and watched her graduate. Besides Aaron and Tami, Tami' parents were also there, so she was well represented. The program was about an hour long and it was interesting to see all the different nationalities represented.
