Since my last blog

I am alive! I have not fallen off the face of the earth nor have I abandoned this blog. My life is good, my God is great and my journey is still continuing. Here are somethings that I have been doing since my last blog.

• Spring Break. It actually felt like a Spring Break since I got a break from bus driving. Joe went to FL with some friends and had a great time. The closest I got to a beach was the pond that lies between my parent's house and my sister's house in Dunlap, TN (actually there is no beach but at least it is a body of water). Rayanne brought a friend and rade minibikes and golf carts to their heart's content. Pattie and I had our regular restive time at the more than tranquil home of my parents. It was good to see them and my sisters.
• Penny and David were there from Ukraine. Its always fun to be with them and this was no different.
  
• Last Sunday, Jenny, Brian and the kids came over for lunch. We had a great time and look forward to our next family day. My shaky hands were no match for Jenny, Brian, and Pattie as I solidly defeated them in Dutch Blitz.
• Started back on the bus Monday morning in 30 degree weather. How ridiculous is that for April. Back in shorts though today.
• Tax day came and I had done nothing about mine. Two things I dread - haircuts and taxes - and I put both of them off as long as possible. Took my taxes to a new company fully expecting to file an extention but they took my stuff and entered it right there in front of me and I walked out of there a richer man. Only in America!
• My dad's birthday is also on Tax Day. My dad's a good man and I'm proud to be his son. I'm glad that he had a good day. We all pitched in and got him a GPS.
• Tonight I am sitting in Caribou Coffee waiting for Rayanne to be done with youth group, enjoying some kind of fattening mocha whip cream coffee ice blended drink and trying to catch up this blog. I'm running out of time but I hope I can do more tonight.
