Today I decided to finally do something handy and I started building a ukulele.  Several years ago, my Dad gave me a Grizzly ukulele kit and it has sat uncompleted for quite some time.  Recently, I have been regretting not using my workbench for anything, so this project serves a double purpose.

Tomorrow is Towel Day.  If you have any idea what I’m talking about, I award you 5 internets with an additional 5 internets if you post a picture of yourself celebrating Towel Day. I’m going to bet that the presence of my towel will increase my satellite reception tomorrow.  I am sure of it.

Today was Tasha’s bell concert, so I accompanied her to take pictures.  She did a great job and I got some good photos.  A friend of ours is in the bell choir with Tasha and they are getting new wood floors put down in their house so we offered to cook out so they didn’t […]

The garage sale was a resounding success.  We got rid of a large proportion of extra stuff, including several large items that give  us some extra space in our house.  For all that effort, we made a profit of $85.05! In addition to that, we found out that our community buys everyone that participates a […]
