Stinky Weekend
Yeah, this past weekend proved to be a real nugget of joy…
Things were off to a bad start with the weather. It rained all weekend without let up, and now we’ve got a leak in the living room and a whole bunch of water in the basement. Now, I know things could be worse. I could live down where they just got pummeled by Ike, but then again I’ve consciously chosen NOT to live where Hurricanes, Earthquakes, Floods, and Tornadoes are a regular occurrence. Score one for the Michigan! (I can deal with snow just fine)
So Saturday was a funeral for a friend of ours who just died of a heart attack in his early 40′s. Their entire family is so sweet, and I just can’t imagine what it will be like for his wife and little girls now, or his parents for that matter. Sheila’s family was close with theirs since she was a kid, so it was a rough day. The kids weren’t too happy about us going either because they had to miss a local going-away party for some friends of ours who are moving to Texas. Lessons in life are tough, but they all understood that we needed to be there for the family that was grieving. Sheila and I did get to see a lot friends that we hadn’t seen in a long time, though it was bitter sweet considering the circumstances. I also got to see Coco and family, so that was a nice treat as always!
Overall very little got accomplished this weekend. It was consistently dark out, we woke up late, went to bed early… Oh and Saturday night we got a nice surprise being woke up at 3:00am by some idiot that came up and banged on our bedroom window. Probably some kids with nothing better to do..
So that’s about it. No real point to this post but to TRY to force myself to be more regular with posting. I’ll try to get some pics up soon of the kids first day of school from a few weeks back!
Love to all…
