Dropping Cole off at Jr. High Youth group at St. Peter's today I decided to take a look at this huge "giving tree". First I found Aunt Mary Lou's name then I found Colleen's name and then I found Eric and I's name. I have no idea what this was for but I guess that we donated money to it.

We'd bought some shrubberies on clearance from Ace Hardware over a week ago, trying to start to fill in the space where our big tree used to be. Finally got around to planting them today. We still have to decide what tree to put back in that space.

The new roommates (minus one-who isn't moving in until tomorrow). And, Vaughn's car needed a lot of work done on it and it was going to cost too much money so, he sold it to an auto wrecker.

Shel's been making a variety of weapons from household objects lately. Today, it was a bow & arrow from an old plastic hanger & a wooden rod

Andrea & Nathan had a work family picnic downtown today, then wanted to go out to another party in the evening & stay overnight. So, the kids & I went downtown for a little adventure during the day, then met Andrea & Nathan at the train station to take the babies (and Bryce) home.

Was cleaning an office in an empty building late tonight, all by myself. Just as I turned the light off & was closing the office door, I heard "Here's a little song I wrote...". Yikes! That was surprising & scary!
