Family News

Now that a full week has gone by, I feel I am allowed to share the following news. (It has been on Facebook, after all, so that makes it official!)

Kelsey is engaged to be married! She and Zach will tie the knot next August.

Congratulations to them both!

Glad It's Friday

I had a busy week. I worked hard and had a couple extra appointments.

I'm tired! (It's a "good" tired, though.)

But I didn't realize how tired I was until I experienced a "first for me" moment at work today....

Have you ever stapled your shirt sleeve to a piece of paper? I can now say, "I have!"

Dad 277: Fall, Football, and Felines

(Yesterday was National Chocolate Day! How did I miss that?? Enjoy Dad's post! ~ Tracy)

 

Derf Here! Not the greatest fall day. Started with a rainy night but was just cloudy most of the day. Not too cold.

 

Josh's team is ready for the football playoffs after another 4-4 year. (Three years in a row.) Go, Josh! Zack will get a chance to stand on the sidelines as a freshman player.

 

We're all anticipating Thursday night football as we're hoping the Patriots continue to win. Go, Pats! Miami could be a tough game as they are now playing well.

 

Almost closed up for the winter. Must put the go-cart in the trailer and get Glen's and Lew's motorcycles in the third bay.

 

Spouse and I are surviving with the help of local family members. Monday morning we will be going to the eye doctor to see about Spouse's cataract removal. (We'll see my glaucoma doctor.) Keep your thoughts and prayers coming for Spouse. Thanks!

 

Reminder: Today is National Cat Day. We'll give a couple extra goodies to Marilyn and Jerry.

 

Tune in next week.

 

Until next time!

 

Toodle Pip!

 

Derf!

Weary Wednesday

Woke up.

Walked (sort of - did elliptical).

Went to 

Work.

"Wined and dined"

With friends.

Wiped out, but

Watching baseball!

Royals?

My prediction of a World Series between the Cubs and Royals did not come to fruition. (My prediction was made in the title of a prior post:  Click HERE to see it.)

But, hey, I was half right!

The New York Mets and the Kansas City Royals will start playing Game #1 in a few minutes.

My prediction of who will win the Series?  You shouldn't need to guess!

Play Ball!

Not One of "These" Days

It was one of "those" days.

I had a routine doctor appointment first thing this morning, then I went to work.

Once at work, I felt like I couldn't get out of my own way.

Everything I picked up had a little "issue" to be resolved.... Nothing was straightforward!

I e-mailed a colleague with one of my questions, and her day ended up going downhill after that.

I was expecting a work-related phone call that never came.

The project I really wanted to work on sat untouched. (Hopefully I'll get to it tomorrow.)

The best thing about today was that I was not alone.... Everyone else at work had one of "those" days, too!

So, not only is there strength in numbers, there is also comfort.  :)

Argh!

Eli's birthday is this coming Tuesday. He will be four years old!

We celebrated today with a "pirate" party.

Happy Birthday to you, Eli!

"Ahoy, Matey!"

Adam, the Apprentice Pirate.

Mommy will always be Eli's pirate princess!
