Crackers, moving pianos and sleep-overs

Sunday, August 27th, 2006

Friday - Went to Indy and took a Mac Mini with me that stopped working on Thursday. We were going to take it into the Apple Store, but our Server Admin Steve was able to figure it out and fix it. Way to go Steve! We had lunch at the “Cancun Mexican Restaurant”. Later Friday [...]

The Queen Contest

Thursday, August 24th, 2006

Wednesday night, I was a judge at the Selma “Blue Bird Days” Fair Queen Contest. I arrived around 8pm, helped move a table and then was entertained by five junior and senior girls competing for the title. The unanimous winner was Sarah who tipped the scales in her favor by having the right outfits, good [...]

Maid-Rites, Movies and Fun

Sunday, August 20th, 2006

Friday night I watched “Underworld: Evolution” and “Ultra Violet”. I really like Underworld, but Ultra Violet left more to be desired. It was more like a video game than anything. I hope this isn’t the future of movies. A good movie still has a good story at the base.
Saturday, I had Maid-Rites for lunch…Yum! After [...]

All 3 kids found something they enjoyed, whether it was the playground, the creek (catching craw-dads) or playing corn-hole and hillbilly golf. The weather [...]

The Wedding and the Pussycats

Sunday, August 6th, 2006

Friday - I dropped the younger two kids off at their mom’s in the morning and went into the office. I had a phone conversation that morning that had me flustered for most of the day. It was about our pending office space in downtown Muncie. Long story short, I ran into someone who helped [...]

Camp Ransburg

Saturday - Picked up the kids at noon and we took a trip to Wal-Mart late in the afternoon. After the supply trip, we ate in Union City at the old A&W stand there. The kids really liked the big mugs of root beer! We dropped off my daughter at Grandma Alma’s (they were going [...]
