A Prompting to Turn Around

Generally I got play ultimate frisbee on Thursdays. I was planning on it today. I even went so far as to change my clothes and get in the car and start driving. I drove about a half a mile down Redwood Road when I just got a bad feeling about going. I know that in the past if I happened to ignore such prompting bad things happen. So I made a U-turn and headed back to the office. I’m not sure what would have happened. Perhaps I would have...

Success & Accomplishments

I had a productive day today. I could make a list of all the accomplishments I’m proud of.

Celebrating Nolan’s Birthday

We took a break from our bathroom remodel project to have a birthday party for Nolan. We had it at Nani’s house because our house is in such disarray. Nolan had a great time. The theme was from the book Where the Wild Things Are. We are getting pretty close to having the bathroom done. Today we painted, installed the bath/shower fixtures, cleaned to tub and shower, caulked, replaced the trim around the door, and installed a new light fixture....
