Some fun....

I always regret not writing as much as I'd like.  Soon, very soon, blogging will become at least a weekly routine.  I know, I've said that for about a year now and I appear to be full of empty promises.  I'm really looking forward to writing about the war I've declared on the Arbutus squirrel population.  But, I'm still gathering material.

I am actually on vacation...staying with my brother in Indianapolis for about a week.  For those of you that don't know, Mitch and his family moved back to Indiana a few months ago.  They've got a great house, nice and big with some great food and company to come along with it.  Mitch's wife, Debbie, invited her parents over for the holiday.  They are in town from England for a few weeks.  It's great to get to hang out with them again.  I'm sure I'll have some pictures to share from this trip once it's complete.  I'll be back to work on the 27th, and will blog sometime that week hopefully.  To tide you over, here is one of Emily helping her Momma make dinner. 

Lately, my little group of "work homies" have come up with some fun things to do in the office...  We had Argyle Sweater Day last month, and we just joked around about having an Ugly Christmas Sweater Day as well.  The next thing I know, the office Holiday Party last Friday had an Ugly Holiday Sweater Contest!!  Oh man, I HAD TO WIN!!  And, I won by a landslide.  Below is a picture, I'm working on getting a video...it was pretty awesome. 


As you probably know, from reading my blog, I really love where I live.  We lovingly call it "Gramma's House".  Well, there have always been things to clean up or fix up.  Gramma and Grandpa (not mine, but a co-worker's grandparents actually built the house and lived in it for most of their lives) have a lot of stuff!!  One of the coolest things there is this bar that the Grandpa (I later learned that his name was Jim) made.  It was in a corner of my screened-in porch.  A few weeks ago we pulled it out, cleaned it up and used it.  It was AWESOME!!

This is Brian.  We were celebrating his promotion.  (If you look hard enough, you can see the sign for "Jim's Bar" behind Brian.)

More later, guys.  I hope you have a great Holiday and that you are wherever it is that you really want to be...
