Thanksgiving and More!

Thanksgiving has come and gone.  We are now full on into the Christmas rush.  So let me bring you up to date.

The forecast for Thanksgiving was for some snow.  So I went and got mom and dad for the celebration and it did snow.  We had the entire family over and it was a full house.  We all enjoyed a delicious meal and the Lion's even won!

The men are relaxing.

Mom's hitting the bottle!
 
Everyone cleared out around 9pm or so.  Michelle and I then went through the Black Friday adds in preparation of our shopping trip.
 
 
We were up early and made it to the Family Chirstian Book Store around 6:15am.  We then went to Sam's and Walmart.  We stopped and ate to fuel up for the next round.  Well the next round did not happen and we went home for a nap.  I woke up after a short nap and unloaded most of the goodies.We then started working around the house in preperation of setting up the Christmas Tree.
 
The four day weekend flew by and we were back to work.
 
The time since Thanksgiving has passed quickly.  Something is going on every weekend and a lot of the week days.
 
On Saturday Michelle and I went on a really fun date.  We had dinner at Jake's in Saginaw and then went to see the play, "A Miracle on 34th Street" at the Saginaw Pit and Balcony.  It was really good and one of the best dates we have ever had.
 
On Sunday we celebrated Mom's (Sherry) birthday at our house.  The entire family was here for that also.  After the party Michelle and I went to Sears in Saginaw to purchase a new refrigerator.  Ours died on Saturday.
 
This week is busy again.  JJ's Christmas Concert is tomorrow night.  Friday evening is a Christmas Party for Michelle's work put on by the Medical Director of the lab.  On Saturday we have her mom's family party and aunt Sandy and uncle Don's.  It is always a good time. Then on Sunday JJ has a concert in Standish with the East Shore Symphony.  He was selected for the honors band.
 
We have somehow managed to get enough wood cut for the winter and will continue to work on this over the winter.  We have several ash trees down at the rental and I want to get that cleaned up before spring.  I may start going into work early once a week so I can go to the house and work for a while after work.  This will make the Saturday work a little easier.
 
That pretty much brings us up to date for now.  So see you after Christmas!

End of Summer

The Best Time to Bike! On Saturday I traveled with Raymond to the Bear Claw Epic.  This was the second annual race and the second time up there for Raymond and I.  We got there with plenty of time to spare and got ready to go. Farley ready to go. I registered for Beginner Fat Bike or at least I thought so?  I felt pretty good and knowing that I only had one lap to do I went all out.  I passed several riders through the race and felt I did pretty good.  This course has a lot of climbing and rewards you with some nice downhills. After I finished my race I put on a fresh shirt and went out on the course with the camera and my new lens.  I took over 400 pictures and headed back to the start finish after Raymond finished his race. Raymond on his second lap. And the final climb. The beginner awards were going on and they announced my name as first place for Beginner Men 50-59.  I was surprised, but did not protest.  Aft...

January 27, 2012

It has been a while since an update and the common cold has been working its way through the family.  Michelle and the boys have got the worst of it so far.  It has slowed me down but has not put me down.  Hopefully it won't get me completely.  It did cause Michelle to miss 2 days of work and I missed one.  We both missed Financial Peace University last night, we will have to watch the video.  It has caused me to miss some training. However, I did manage to get on the trainer 2 days this week and hopefully again tomorrow. Dad had a procedure today and all was well.  Had to get up early and pick him up.  He had the procedure at Covenant so I was able to work for a while when he was in.  We went out to lunch afterwards and then had a good visit with him and mom. This winter continues to be mild as we again are having above normal temperatures.  We had snow last night and most of it melted today.  They are call...
