Playing Catchup
Man, I hate getting behind. I've put off updating this blog way too long. It's just so hard to find time to do it at home. I have a day off from work today, my son has school today, so I'm trying to get an entry in before I get further behind.
Our trip to the in-laws went well. We had a cookout with my wife's brother and his family. We all went out to a little country restaurant on Sunday before coming home. For a little place out in the sticks, it has awesome food. Oh, in my last post I mentioned about my toenail. Well, on the Saturday night we were at my mother-in-law's house, I was pulling my sock off getting ready for bed and the sock caught the nail and pulled it off. That kinda hurt, but since then, it really hasn't bothered me. Just looks strange not having a toenail...
I had a church board meeting on the 25th of April. Nothing major there, just mainly going over the finances and everything is looking good after doing some cutbacks.
I'm starting to work on another video photo montage project for a girl that is having a sweet 16 birthday ball coming up on May 19th. Her parents are wanting this video to be a surprise, so they gave me about 35 pics to put to music. Since it is a surprise, the mom can't get their daughter's suggestions on music, so mom was having a problem about what songs to use. She picked out a few, but looks like I'm going to have to use my "vast" knowledge and pick a few myself. I put a few "special effects" to some of the pics and I think it looks pretty cool so far. I think they'll like the outcome. Here in a few weeks, I'll be starting the photo montage videos for the church's Missionette Honorstar crowning again. That's always a crazy time trying to get all that done.
This past weekend, my son and I went on an overnight campout with our church's Royal Rangers group. We had a lot of fun as on Saturday, we all got to play paintball. I didn't get to sleep all that much as all the guys were snoring, the owls were hooting and the whiperwill birds were singing all night. But overall, we had a great time.
As I mentioned, I'm off work today for a holiday that most people don't get as it's the birthday of a president that was born in my state. I'm going to paint the mailbox post and a few places on our basketball goalpost, then after lunch, I'm going to go to the church to work on that girl's photo montage video.
Only two more weeks of school for my son and the next two Fridays, they have big field trips planned. This Friday, there are going to visit the Cahokia Indian Mounds in Collinsville, IL. Then, on the 19th of May, they are going to tour a cave. I really wanted to go to the Indian mounds, but my father is getting a Lifetime Achievement award at a dinner for his work in the quilting business for his computerized quilting machine, so we have to go to that. Can't be in two places at once I guess.
Until next time... Blessings!
