For the homeschoolers who read here, go check out my brother’s blog. They are on vacation out West and he’s posting pictures every day.
Hey Stone, Chief wants to know if you’re going to the Alien Highway.

I’ve been intrigued by Square Foot Gardening for several years. I was too cheap to buy the book so in the past I tried putting it together with a library book. There’s just too much information to digest in two weeks. The author published a new version this year so Amazon sold the old ones […]

Today Princess told me she knew the value of pi. In my head I was thinking more along the lines of apple pie but she was talking about math. Okey dokey what is the value of pi?
“3.14″
Chief was proud to say he taught her that.
Her current obsession is the Discovery Channel show Mythbusters. […]

Last fall our children’s minister asked if I would be interested in helping to set up the church library. We had one in the old building but as the church grew, the library lost its space. It was briefly set up in the new building but again was boxed up once we needed the classroom […]

The Tuesday WW meeting I work is held in a old Friends church in downtown Wilmington. I’ve often thought that it reminds me of the old church at Coe. For those of you who don’t know what Coe is, its Coe Church of Christ, the church I was raised in. Until the early 80’s we […]

We sing this song in church and apparently they sing it in Junior praise time as well.
Last week Peanut, Sly and Chief were going somewhere in the car and Peanut was singing:
“I am a bend of God!,
I am a bend of God!,

Sly and chief got to laughing […]

KP and I helped in Princess’ choir tonight. A little boy offered to close with prayer. Here’s his prayer:
God I had a hamster named (I missed the name) and he died. God put him back in his cage. Alive.
Getting the alive clause in there is very important. We wouldn’t want God to put a dead […]

Well, not exactly, but it’s 95% there. I mean real, real close. Since leaving my Dell job, one thing we missed about Texas was the Barbecue chains like Pok-E-Joes (among others)
Earlier this week, our neighbors told us about CityQ BBQ, that it was real south BBQ with the whole environment and everything. […]

This morning during Princess’ reading lesson we were discussing that ph together makes the sound f,f,f, phone. The lesson went on to ask her to read the name Phil while pointing out that Phil begins with Ph.
Trying to be funny I asked her “so do you know anyone named Phil?” thinking of course she would […]

Two weeks ago KP weighed in at 195 lbs. He decided this was too much and began following WW. Last week he lost 5 lbs. Tonight he got on the scales and found himself at 186.
Last Thursday Lori asked me how KP was doing on WW. When I told her about the 5 lbs […]
