This morning I awoke to a pounding sound, similar to someone chopping wood. I looked out the window to find a woman pounding on the windows of her car with an ice scraper, trying to get the layer of ice off. The news had warned of ice, but I haven’t ever experienced anything quite like … [Read more…]
I don’t think that snow was in the forecast today, but it came anyway, at least for a few minutes. It didn’t last long. The real snow is supposed to come on Monday. I haven’t left the motel yet today. I haven’t been feeling very well. Cami has a severe sore throat, and started taking … [Read more…]
Cami and I drove to the Honda dealer and spoke with the girl in the parts department. She was very nice and knew her stuff. I asked what would be needed for fixing the outside handle. She said generally the problem is caused by a broken plastic bushing. The cost was right around three dollars. … [Read more…]
Ever since I’ve known Cami, the driver’s side back door of her Civic has been out of commission. It wouldn’t open from the outside or the inside. Access to the back seat was always from the passenger side, and it was getting tedious to not have use of that door. Finally I took a look … [Read more…]
With the exception of snow here in Utah, my holiday experience has been great. I have spent time with family and friends. Most of all, I have spent time with Cami – my best friend and my wife. Cami had to work some this week, but I have had things to keep me busy while … [Read more…]
Cami came to visit and flew back last Tuesday. Before she came the weather had been really nice. Well, she and I went to Kure Beach one day. It was a bit chilly, but not too bad. We walked on the beach, picked up little shells and took pictures of birds. On the way back … [Read more…]
I thought the spider had been removed, but I was wrong. When I got home from work it was there – building a big web. This time I moved the spider to the other side of the building where it can build a web without catching my face in it.
This is my second encounter with this spider. The first time it had built a web across the doorway of my motel room and I nearly walked right through that web. I carefully removed the spider to the bushes. Yes, I save spiders. Sue me. Tonight I started to toward the ice machine and felt … [Read more…]
I was in church and thinking of Cami. I decided to draw a turtle. Once I did the first turtle I thought I needed a second one and a third. Then I did a fish. I am out of control.
Cami and I saw MegaMind while she was visiting. We both thought it was great. From the previews it looked interesting. But, we were cautious about expecting too much. We had recently bought How to Train Your Dragon on video and found it wanting. It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t worthy of all the hype … [Read more…]
