Thanksgiving

As I am sure is the custom in many households at dinner time on Thanksgiving day we one by one go around the table telling what we are thankful for.

This year we started with Thomas: for the food.
                                         Joseph:  for the food and turkey.
                                         Daniel:   he just laughed and said something about the food.
                                         Robert: he didn't know what to say.
And that kinda disrupted the whole ceremony for a minute and when we got back to it I started it and then Jennifer and by this time no one was interested anymore. Poor Raechel:(

So here is what I am thankful for: for my wonderfully awesome, adorable, pretty wife; for this beautiful place we live in; for the courage to leave GE and to come home; for my wonderful family;for the newest addition to our family; for the BSP and the Liturgy of the Hours; and of course for the food; oh and for Popple.

Jennifer said: for my husband and my children and the wonderful dinner.

I guess I was the long winded one in the family. LOL

So with all the thanksgiving around here, that leaves me wondering what you are thankful for?
Please feel free to share by leaving a comment if you want to.

The Latest

What is going on here? Well I got a job at a local used car dealership. I mostly change oil, install break pads, detail cars, and try to sell cars. It's a job, a BIG  change in pay, but I am home every night and I am happy.

Tonight after work we went to the lake and went swimming. This week it is suppose to be HOT, in the 90's, so I guess we will go swimming tomorrow evening too.

While at the lake tonight I noticed many mushrooms. I am amazed at how many I am finding now that I am looking for them. Tonight I found more of the amanita mushrooms that are poisonous if not DEADLY, in fact I did find the one called "Death Angel" or "Destroying Angel" tonight. It is guaranteed to kill. But it is good to be able to identify the dangerous ones, however I do not like the taste of mushrooms so I will not be eating the ones I find in the wild.

Well I must get these kids to bed tonight and spend some time with my wonderful bride.


God night.

Mushrooms

I have developed a new interest. Mushrooms.
The study of fungi is called mycology. I do not like mushrooms to eat but they are definitely a cool organism.

My intrest started when I began searching for edible plants with a field guide I have. I noticed many mushrooms around the area too. My neighbor even picked a bunch and said they are edible. I accepted them to be nice, but I DON'T like the taste of them unless battered and fried and covered with ranch dressing. But in taking them I wanted to find out info on them and in doing so, I sparked my interest.

Here are some photos of some that I have found in my yard.

So Whats Goin On?

The last week has been busy for us.

First of all, our chickens have been on strike. They all stopped laying. No eggs. This has been going on for 3 weeks now but we negotiated with the union mob boss and have tried to come to a reasonable conclusion. So they are beginning to come around now and start laying again.
Yesterday we got 11 eggs.WOW!!!




We also have a new dog. Her name is Sophie. She is a St. Bernard.




We also celebrated a birthday last week.
Last Wednesday was our dear Hope's birthday. She would have been 3.














This week is our anniversary, so another busy week.

Week 3

Well we completed week 3. Week 4 is called the recovery week. However week 4 is not completely a week of relaxation. It just doesn't involve strength training. Mostly yoga, cardio, and kenpo. But the good news is we are still going on, we haven't given up yet:-)


Keep praying for us...
