Parade's and Birthday's
This morning we watched the Grandview Memorial Day Parade. It was Emily's
first ALL-AMERICAN parade, with fire trucks, old cars, baseball teams and
politicians. Not a bad way to spend a morning. I am glad that I power washed
the front yesterday afternoon!
Now we are off to Mikala's Birthday Party and Jens house. First we need
to go to [...]
Parties and Weather…
This week-end is full of parties. I have one tonight at Ron and Sophia's.
Tomorrow for Mikayla and maybe Vuj. Sunday I have a wedding, and Monday we
are hiding out. Also next week we are headed to Orlando again for a few
days. Mom is watching Castle so it should be a nice break.
I also added a [...]
Inspections, Water Heaters, and Stuff…
We got our inspection back from a certified structural engineer, no problems. I can't believe they were telling us there were structural problems with the house. Now, I just need to get to the house and cut the grass. It rained all last week, hopefully today or tomorrow I will get it cut.

was sad to [...]
Strike One…

financing, but what get's me is they are saying there were things wrong with
the house. While we had an inspection and there is NOTHING wrong with it, we
know that…
I was so tempted to put the buying agent's name, and still might…. Oh,
well…
Birthday Shopping and Rain…
We were going to work in the yard this week-end. Though Emm and I are
terrible at “Yard-Work” we were determined to work in the back yard to get
ready for Emily's birthday party next Saturday. But it rained and rained,
and is still raining. So I decided to give Emily her gift a bit early and we
went [...]
Two In a Day
Well, this biltong batch is a little dryer and I think I have a little too
much salt. It's still very tasty!!! I am off to have a Castle now.
Long Time, No Write…
Well things have been busy, what can I say? I have been working on the new
house, and working on the old house. Which is in contract right now, believe
it or not. They even want to close next week. So I am crossing my fingers!!!
I have also had a go at making South African Biltong. I [...]
