Ketchup(HA!)

Well I know that it has been like forever since I blogged. So what has been happening in my life. For starters Daniel took off for Wisconsin to live near Dara and to find a job. So far his luck has struck out. I hope for the best with him. I spent a weekend with Samantha at her place and had a good time. We went to the zoo and to the movies, spent some time in Garden City, went to a museum and monument rock. It was a blast for me to get out and have some fun. I hope that she had fun to. I will be getting pictures to post on my Facebook page soon.
My job has been well for me. Ross went on Vacation and left me in charge. I believe that I did pretty well for being a seasoned manager. When he came back he said "Good job. I am impressed." All to please you my boss. Nothing ever really happens but to go to work and sell auto parts. I enjoy my job but I keep thinking that there must be something else for me to do. Perhaps I need a change of pace. In September I will have been working there for 5 years. Who knows.
My family will be leaving Wichita at 12:01 in the AM on Wednesday to Green Bay Wisconsin to collect the other son and drive to Michigan. I won't be able to go this year but I was glad to spend a little time with them when they were down here earlier in the year. Speaking of dad he had a sleep study done a few weeks ago to see if he has some kind of sleep problem. He was fitted for a C-Pap machine and it seems to be doing well on it. Hopefully this will make him not be so tired. He did preach a good sermon yesterday on dealing with despair using John 14 as the reference. I brought my friend Rion to church. He said that he liked it and was very into it. I was glad that he was able to go. I have enjoyed listening to my dad preach as well as his Wednesday study of Ephesians. Me and Rebekah are going to be helping in the church on Sunday. We have much to plan. Hopefully this will work until later for postings. There are others that will soon follow.

What a week

To most of my readers who have given up on me posting a new blog I have one thing to say....I'm BACK!!!!

Today was a good day for me. I finally got my hair cut short for the summer. I started to look like a wearwolf. I also mowed my parents lawn and made it all pretty. I had lunch with Rebekah, Jason, and mom. There is a new restaurant called Clear Lakes Cafe over by 21st. When Samantha was here we ate breakfast there once. Very good food for the price. Later on I went to Bob's house and mowed his lawn and talked with Rebekah for awhile. We played a new game on Wii called Mario Cart. It was pretty fun racing the cars around the track. Tomorrrow Jason and Bob are going to see the new Indiana Jones movie so Rebekah invited me back to hang out after work and play more games. Work has been good these past few days. Lots of changed are going to be inforced over the next few weeks. Ross is going on vacation and has left me in charge of the store. Plus he gave me a list of things that he want's done before he gets back. I have no doubt that I will be able to acomplish the tasks laid before me. Also next week is VBS for the church in the evening. I hope to have a good turnout this year. On Wednesday my dad is leading a bible study in Ephesians. We had the first study this evening and high lighted some verses and went over them. Over the course of the next few days I'll be working in the morning and having the evening free. Good luck to all

This week on Monday was Memorial day. A day to remember those loved ones that have passed on. We talked and reminiscence about the days once passed. It was good to see all of the family that doesn't live close by and chat with them. For breakfast we had the egg sausage casserole, biscuits, gravy, cinnamon buns and OJ. It was very filling and delicious. Afterwards we talked and hung out at the house until I went to work. That evening though a storm blew through Wichita and dumped rain and hail on the city. It was very wild. I love storms and to see them develop and show off their power is interesting to me. I was able to check out the hail damage to my truck which was very minimal. I was shocked. I did park under a tree at work and at home so I'm sure that helped.
Today Wednesday I helped Rebekah clean the basement and continue to work on planning for the garage sale. The garage part is mostly clean. The basement is the most difficult task to do. There is so much Duff down there it's ridiculous. I don't know how one family can accumulate crap like mad. Oh well, more stuff to sell.

Memorial Day

Today is Sunday. The day before Memorial Day. My family spend most of the day hanging out and telling stories from the past. Uncle Dennis and Aunt Ruth came from Texas, Uncle Max and Aunt Sherri came from Michigan. They are the only two familes that came from out of state. I was unable to attend most of the afternoon due to me working at my job. I came by Jay's house when I got off. During the course of the evening I found out that Uncle Jay was a weatherman and he did a radio spot as well. The things that you find out about your family can be weird and interesting at the same time. Tomorrow is the brunch and the wrap up for the holiday gathering. Perhaps there will be mush for breakfast.

Friday

Today I was off work so I spend most of the day at Rebekah's house working in the garage. We were throwing stuff out and taking crap to the HazMat station in Wichita on Stillwell. I must say that I was amazed at the amount of paint can's and varnish and odd things. We were able to clear one side of the garage to make it a somewhat functional garage.
For dinner I met the family at the Copper Oven in the Indian Hills area. I met Jay and Pat there. Very nice place to eat. Their special was pan fried chicken with mashed potatoes and mixed veggies. Good chicken. For desert I had chocolate mousse cake. I also bought a cinnamon roll. You can heat that sucker up and make it all goey and good.
After dinner I went over to Jay's to help him move some furniture in a downstairs bedroom. The interesting thing is that me and my parents went on a walking trail. Somewhere down the trail we got turned around and got lost. The bad part is that it was starting to get dark and hard to see. And it was humid so the weather was against us as well. We were following dad which may not have been the best decision but we managed to find the exit and called Jay to come and pick us up. That was an ordeal in and of itself. I was able to get some good excersise so it's not all bad. Tomorrow is breakfast and back to work again. Later

The weekend is upon me

Lets see here the Memorial day weekend is upon me as I go into Friday. With having the day off I have a full day planned. I am going to mow Robert's(a.k.a. Bob) house. Once that is completed Rebekah and me are planning to finish in the garage for the yard sale she is having at the end of the month. Speaking of Memorial day we are having the family get together on Sunday and Monday. The cementary visit is slated for Sunday after church visiting relatives living and dead. After planting flowers we will go back to Wichita with dinner at Jay's. Monday is Brunch at Kevin's house for the conclusion. I half to work on Sunday and Monday evening so I can attend the brunch but that is all. At least I can spend some time with the family.
Rebekah is finally out of school for the summer. She was happy to be out and not working as the lunch lady. I don't know if she will be back for the next year or not.
I beleve that I will be all for this evening. Take care

Another Week

Today I started another work week on Sunday. For some reason the store was pretty dead for a Sunday. Perhaps more people are going to Church which is good. I do half to tell you that someone working on their car almost lost a finger. I let him borrow a knife to cut a hose on a car that he was working on. His buddy came back in the store and said that he had cut his finger and skin was hanging off the bone and he had lost a good amount of blood in the parking lot. So I did a quick bandage with a clean towel and his buddy took him away. That was the big excitemt of the day. Monday and Tuesday I have off so I'll be spending the evening with Rebekah.
