Rumpus room usable

Our rumpus room is back to a useful state. Still need to get some doors and finish up some trim but it's now usable. Woohoo!

Something To Stand For movie was great!

I got an email about this movie and told Sue that I wanted to see it. We went to the theater last night and saw it and it was amazing! Mike Rowe did a great job telling stories of American heroes that people may not have heard about, and the production was great! I highly recommend it.

Fun seeing Jacob!

We had a good time with our oldest son when he came to visit this weekend. We caught up on what's been happening, shared about our travels, and enjoyed watching the dogs play. Fun!

Happy birthday, Grace!

Our granddaughter Grace turned 3 years old today - woohoo! She's so much fun to watch and play with when we get to be with her. 

Great Mediterranean cruise

We had a great trip to Europe for a Mediterranean cruise! We planned this thing for almost a year and everything went great. 

We flew to Barcelona and stayed in a hotel for a couple of nights. While there we rode the hop-on/hop-off bus around the city, had lunch at Port Vell, saw La Sagrada Familia, and enjoyed eating tapas at outdoor restaurants. The we got on a boat and saw Palma de Mallorca, Florence and Pisa, Rome, Naples, Amalfi, and Pompeii. 

It was amazing to walk on the cobblestone roads that were first laid out by the Greeks and the Roman Empire and to see so many of the things I've only read about or seen on a screen. 

What an adventure!

Great visit with Megan and Booker

We had a great time in Florida with Megan and Booker this week! We got to attend time with them at a resort they stayed at. Megan did the big "sex of the baby" reveal in the photo in front of the castle, which was awesome! Another little girl is on the way.

It was great to share in our granddaughter's first visit to Disney World with them and Booker's mom. Grace was so cute taking it all in, and was especially precious when she got to visit with Cinderella while wearing a matching princess dress. It was amazing! 

We also enjoyed the water park, a beach visit, the Kennedy Space Center, and just spending time with family. 

I'm very proud of how Megan and Booker are doing. Great week! 

Enjoyed the eclipse

Sue and I enjoyed the solar eclipse from the comfort of our deck. I bought cheap eclipse glasses earlier this year and sent some to the kids last month. Hopefully they got to use them! 

It was cool to see it get darker and to hear the birds getting louder like they do in the mornings and evenings. And it got noticeably cooler at the peak occlusion of the sun. 

Fun to see another one like this!
