In my travels

I get to go many places where there are friends and family. This week found me fortunate enough to stop by Lebanon, OH to see Niece B, her husband S, young T and their newest addition R!

It was great to see their whole family, even for a short visit. It is really cute how their T just loves his new brother, to the point of smothering him at times. But he is a good looking young man that at 2 is now stringing some words together to get certain desires known. You know when he wants a video, or something to eat or drink.

For proof, here is a picture of R and moi.



So, for you JO, I am the most awesome 'cuz I got to see and hold him and you didn't, HA! Oh yeah, who is the best now!

Hope your day is great too.

Milky Way

I found this neat site to view the Milky Way galaxy.

Be sure to zoom in on some of the various features. There is also a tour to some of the popular destinations.

Things

are getting back to a more normal chaos. All the cars have been fixed, the lawn mowed, at least until this weekend again, and we are now working on the bathroom/bedroom again.

It is a good thing that C and A are away at school as we have taken over their bedrooms. We have moved everything out of ours and disbursed it as best we can to keep the house neat.

As it has been said, "It's hammer time!"

Been a few weird weeks

on the mechanical side.

My car threw a lifter needing a cylinder head replacement, the Van blew a heater hose that was nearly impossible to reach, A's car had problems staying running and with a catalytic converter, C's car had a window problem where the driver side window would not go down, then immediately followed by the passenger side front having the same problem, both lawn mowers had semi major problems, one requiring a new engine and the other a new cam, the weed eater decided not to like to run. After it was all fixed, then the grass needed mowed and the house needed trimming. It seemed to be every week there was something preventing us from getting work done on our bathroom. That does not include my travel for work.

In the middle of some of this, A moved into a new apartment and C moved into a Dorm.

Life is never boring.
