What a week!

Here's a pix of Chris, Austin, and Halie at the coast last January. As you can see, the kids are growing like weeds. Austin will be 11 on April 12, and Halie will be 9 on June 14. Both are doing good in school and play sports. Austin just finished basketball, and both will be playing soccer in the spring.

We've had a busy week at the office. I had to try to repair the ceiling of one of the offices because of a leak in the roof. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to do it because it was still leaking. Bummer! Anyway, on the way home I got stopped and received my first speeding ticket in almost ten years. Imagine that! Me, the slowpoke of the family. According to all the kids, I drive like an old poop. Oh, well.

We've had some strange weather today. Woke up to snow, then the sun came out and melted the snow. Then it snowed again. Then it rained. Hailed. Snowed. Sleeted. Went like that all day. Hopefully, things will improve later this week. I'm getting antsy to ride my motorcycle. Haven't been able to ride in almost three months. Too wet, or too cold.

Hope the weather warms up soon. I'm ready for warm sunshine.

The week that was

Not a whole lot happening this week. Did some work on the office bldg. I think being retired is more work than working. :-) Being a handyman is interesting but can be hard work.



All the grandkids are getting big. Zachary is recovering from two ear infections, Austin plays the last basketball games of the season today and tomorrow.



As this is my first ever blog, please be patient with me while I figure this thing out. Hopefully my imagination and communication skills will improve over time.

In the meantime, I'll try to think of what to say next time. Probably an update on the northwest branch of the Sillett clan.
