Been busy with work – staying at work till 3:30 am trying to get our View magazine done by August 19th. Several more late nights to come – probably less blogging but I’ll try. I’m off to try and get some sleep tonight.

Same old story – you should know it by now. Busy busy busy. Get up, eat, work, eat, work, eat, play with Molly, work, work out, go to sleep. Our VBS was this week. Unfortunately we didn’t go. I would have liked to but I spent too much time preparing for VBS that I didn’t [...]

NOT ME! Actually it’s a half a cow we purchased. We have 50 lbs. of ground beef, a bunch of stew meat, several round steaks, mucho roasts, one brisket and one filet mignon.

450 sheep jump to their deaths. And who said sheep were dumb?
