Our Weekend

A lot has happened this week. Will is taking drivers education at Westview High School. He got his learners permit and has been driving some. He’s a petite kid, so we get a lot of double-takes as if to say, “He’s old enough to drive?” I have a tough time believing it too but he’s loving every minute of it. He got to go turkey hunting for the first time with Scott Stallings, Donnette’s sisters husband. They saw several and had some gobblers just a few yards away, but got no shot. Scott is a great turkey hunter and I think Will got bit by the “hunting” bug.

Megan got back from Florida OK and brought many pictures. She loved her trip. It’s nice to have her home and talk to her again.

Levi is firing up about baseball. It looks as if I’m assistant coach this year. Levi is throwing the ball really hard for a 12 year old. I really think that if he pursues this sport, it will be something he has some success at. He can throw mid-50’s, with a high of 59mph. We’ll see how things go.

There are many things to tend to, plans to make and appointments to keep. Blessings to all. Carpe Diem.

Spring Break 2009

Spring break has come and is nearly gone. Megan went to Florida with Kristin Mast (and is having a great time last time we talked to her). The rest of us took in Grand Rapids, MI for a day. Baker Book House has a great used/blemished books section; unbelievable books that are hard to find – a literary gold mine, the mother-lode. I’ve been ecstatic with some of my finds.

Dot and the boys did the Ford Presidential Library while I researched for books. Afterwards, we had Mongolian BBQ at a place called BD’s. You get your raw meet, with vegetables, and your sauces and head for the grill. They cook it in minutes and everyone loved it; fantastic grub.

The boys will be wrestling at Battle Creek, MI to wrap up their wrestling season really soon. Both Levi and Will will be throwing it down at Kellogg Arena.
