Happy Birthday, Lew!

Today's the day! 💗

Matt, Emily, Eli, and Adam came over this evening to celebrate Lew's birthday with us. 💗💗

I managed to get a couple photos of Grampa Lew with the kids. 💗💗💗 

Adam and Eli didn't want to stand still... too excited about cake!

Lew's Logbook: Range Time

(Lew writes today. And I am #OneBlessedGal....  ~  Tracy)

Tracy and I went to the range today and she became familiar with “Adelaide.”  (Yes, she named her .38 Special.)

We had a great time and she did very well at putting her shots on paper.

Nice to have a wife who shares some of your interests. (She loves baseball and football also.)

I Get a Project

I was given a project today at work that is going to be fun for me. It involves building an Excel spreadsheet for my colleagues to use for a specific task.

I love figuring out how to get spreadsheets to do what I need them to do. And I try to make them "slick as snot" to work with. ("Slick as snot" is a technical term that my husband often uses.)

I am truly a geek!

Ode to a Hobby

With apologies to the Everly Brothers....

Whenever I'm conscious
All I want to do is
Rea-ea-ea-ea-ead,
Read, Read, Rea-ead,
Rea-ea-ea-ea-ead,
Read, Read, Read!

Dad 371: Noisy Neighborhood News

(Dad theorizes about summer in today's post. Enjoy! ~ Tracy)

 

Derf Here! Great summer days are upon us. So nice!

 

A lot of activity going on close to home. The building sounds are heard loud and clear throughout the day as there are two new homes being built a few hundred feet away. Supposed to be done and have residents in them sometime this fall. Fingers are crossed.

 

It is hard to believe that the busiest weeks of summer are over. The last two weeks in July and the first two weeks in August seem to be the busy four. Schools and school activities are now starting, so people have had their vacations. Summer is basically over. Accept it!!

 

Spouse is getting along fine. We are pleased about this. Please continue your thoughts and prayers for her. Thanks.

 

Enough for now. Sooo....

 

Until next time!

 

Toodle Pip!

 

Derf!

Happy Pythagorean Theorem Day!

Embracing My Geekness

I am so excited for tomorrow, I can hardly stand it!

You may be asking, "What's so special about Tuesday, August 15, 2017?"

The date of 8/15/17 makes it Pythagorean Theorem* Day!

I bought a special t-shirt for the occasion, and I even got permission to wear it to work. (I work for a technical school, so it wasn't that hard a sell.)  😊

I hope that everyone is at least half as excited as I am.  I love this stuff!


*If the month and day — 8 and 15 — are the lengths of the smaller sides of a right triangle, then the two-digit year — 17 — is the length of the hypotenuse. The Theorem: The square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. Do the math!
