Strand

It was Kelli's birthday this week, and Dave had a party for her, making it three times I've seen her now since the 24th of July. She said she was thinking I was going to get sick of her, but I remember seeing her three times in a day several times each week. I miss hanging out with her and Dave. In some ways it kind of sucks getting old and having your own family, but I suppose if everything froze that way it would get pretty boring.

We were supposed to bring a picture or something to scrapbook, so I took her this picture that I took the day she got her haircut when we met at her Grandparents' place where she lived to watch Voyager.

Yeah, for a season we watched Voyager, but you do a lot of stupid things when you're young.

So Howie posted on facebook that he got invited to Rush week for our old fraternity and it reminded me of this picture I took of him with the chickens we borrowed for a rush party game...

I got up on the roof to examine the cooler, and had a little helper that couldn't figure out how to get down the ladder he came up.

Last night I almost thought this was going to be a tornado.

This is the face that wakes me up most mornings, usually not with this expression, thankfully.

The dragonfly held really still, and when disturbed didn't fly far and would come back to perch on the same post really quick. Now that I look at this up close it looks like he had an accident and dented his head. (notice the nice reflection of my shiny orange shirt on the post)

And as an added bonus... Ducks on Vacation.

But he'll just want to go back out in ten minutes.

Sometimes you find pictures of things you forgot completely about...

At noon the city inspector showed up for the first official look at the garage. He said the forms we stressed so much over were too narrow for the type of pour we were doing, even though the city office cleared us for that type of footing on the official plans. He did say that if we pulled the forms and just poured the size of the hole we would be fine. Had we known that we could have saved a few hundred dollars as well as been able to pour while it was still warm and sunny. Chuck got off a little early due to the impending storm (we had hoped to pour the forms this evening) and he came over and removed them in just a fraction of the time it took to put them in. But that's always the case, isn't it? We pulled one board out and the leaves piled in the hole spilled off the board leaving one odd one stuck to the lumber. Turns out it was a well crafted butterfly.

Shortly after we got finished wrapping up the forms in a tarp to keep them from the snow it started to rain, and now we have about 5 inches of new snow.
