Calendar? What Calendar?

So I get home tonight from a gruelling day on the water, and this is how the conversation transpired:

I asked a simple question of if any of the parents called, and Caroline replied no, but her parent were coming up tomorrow.
I replied "that was news to me, nobody told me!" Caroline replied it has been on the calendar for months.

so looking at the calendar with a magnifying glass I was able to find it among all the other squibbily lines and words for that day. Boy.....it was a darn good thing I decided to change the 3 burned out lights in the dining room this morning, or I would have been caught red handed. For some reason I had a sixth sense to change those bulbs today. I was waiting for the last two in the light fixture to go out, and then finally change them. Oh well.....maybe next time. I guess I will need to pay attention to the calendar and gage my light bulb event between visits.

Boundary waters is Sunday YEA!!!!! things are going to move fast this week to get everything pack.

Matthew's eagle project is taking shape.

Philomena is entering things into the fair this week

that is all for now

I still enjoy listening to my Pandora radio mix of Broadway tunes, and it still drives Caroline nuts having to listen to it.

have a good week

Belated Birthday wish!

Well tie me up to an ant hill and cover me with molasses!

I cannot believe I forgot to wish Lucas a Happy Birthday! Happy Birthday Lucas sorry for the oversight. I just cannot believe I did that, especially to my favorite nephew!
I hope everything went well for your birthday!

I might as well add happy birthday wishes to Jason S. and Carlon T. for their birthdays coming up on the 12th

And also to Mary H. for a happy birthday to her on Monday!

All these birthdays........ it just makes a person feel old.

We had some rain and wind the other night, but not as bad as Cedar Falls got hit.

we got a new computer, I bought a program to transfer the files, but it keep getting an error message that my old computer memory is full and it will not do it. Drat, now it is the slow painstakingly way.

Everybody have a good week

From my blog..

Hi everyone!

I have a job for the fall/spring semesters!!

I called 2Fix* (the IT dept. @ BVU) yesterday, and they said they'd contact me when the move in dates are!

(2Fix requires all new employees to move in at least week early for training)

*Some info about 2Fix:

Basically 2Fix is the dept. that repairs/maintains anything that uses electricity, whether its computers, phones, TVs, or projectors.

They offer around 15 hours a week (but are flexible to your schedule), and possibly even 40 hours during the summer with free rooms.

:D

That's all, its raining outside, have good weekend everybody! :)

Happy Anniversary wishes

Happy Anniversary to Bret and Anne. I hope they had a wonderful day enjoying their anniversary. A toast to them!

Well the 4th of July is here and gone, Philomena has been up to camp at Schoenstatt, since last Sunday. We pick her up tomorrow night. Things are pretty quiet around here without her bouncing around. I missed her wit and smiles.
My next mpa class starts on Friday, the professor has assigned a lot of reading material for us to go over and discuss. It is about business ethics.

I am slowly getting the boundary water trip organized. We leave at the end of the month. That will be a lot of fun.

Matthew will be doing his Eagle project for Boy Scouts next week, He is constructing a bat house at the outdoor classroom at the Clear Creek School in Clear Lake.

Matthew registered for college last week.

Mary is at Camp Tanglefoot working.

Stephen is enjoying riding his bike around the circle and up to the stop sign. He does like to go fast.

I enjoyed seeing some of Marie's pictures from her DC trip that she posted.

I think it is really neat the Alicia picked a college in a location that does not have snow in the winter time and she gets to play soccer! Way to go Alicia!

It will not be long before we will have 3 out of the house. I am just hoping our water bill will reflect that reduction!

We have been fortunate on the weather enjoying some cool days and nights. The A/C has not been turned on for a couple of weeks.

I hope everybody has a good week, you are all in our thoughts and prayers.
