Played Hooky

Well, we had a good weekend. We were supposed to go down to the Palace to see the Gaither concert, but things changed. We decided that with the price of gas and the meals we would have to buy we would end up spending about $90 to make this trip to a "free" concert. So, we decided to skip it and go to TC instead. I had a couple of free movie tickets, so we could go see a flick fur nuthin'! It was also too good to pass up since I had the kids taken care of for the night with my parents and Pastor was teaching Sunday School for me. Sooooo, we went to TC letting everyone think we were out of town and played hooky Sunday morning for Sunday school. I know I need to repent and ask forgiveness. Had a good time though!

Other than that it was not a very productive weekend. Changed the oil in the van Saturday morning and that was about the only thing I accomplished. Church Sunday morning was good, and then my parents took us out for lunch at the Home of the Whopper. After that we went home and did nuthin' until it was time to go over to the in-laws for my nephew's birthday party. Then back to church and home again. I know, I need to slow down!

Work today was fair. I need to see the big W get things in gear as sales are OK everywhere else, but without some displays at the W I am not getting very much action. Spartan is limping along and they are still a decent business, but we all must bow to the selling power of Wallyworld!

The kids are doing well. Zach went to a lamb farm today. I decided to ask him about the trip and the conversation went a little like this:

"How was the lamb farm?"

"It was alright."

"Did you have fun?"

"Yeah. I petted one lamb and another one kept sniffing my leg."

"Anything else neat happen?"

"Oh Yeah! We saw a great big daddy sheep going to the bathroom! It came out like a bunch of little round balls! That was really cool, but kinda gross too."

I pay tuition for him to see something as educational as that! Of course as a kid I would have probably thought the same thing. This kid scares me sometimes beaus he is already thinking at a more advanced level of mischief than I did at his age. Makes a father proud!

Anyway, I guess I will sign off for now. I pulled this little picture off the net and photoshopped in the vanity plate. Someday the dream will be mine! Take care everyone!
