Weekend: prayer

It was a pretty good weekend, overall. There were some house issues, but nothing that can't be fixed.

Anyway, the exciting part of the weekend was that I found out two people that I didn't expect to be praying for my job are praying for it. It's just a really cool feeling to find out that people care.

Friday: There's not much worse than...

...having to sit at work at 4pm on a Friday, having done a grand total of fifteen minutes of real work all day.

On the up side, I should have productive stuff to do next week. I'll be working with the cable harness folks 3 days/week and the machine shop 2 days/week.

I've worked with the cable harness people before and they're fun people. The only annoying thing is that they're 15 minutes down the road, so transportation for Ben and I sometimes is a bit tricky. I haven't done much with the machine shop besides tell them things that I need built, so it will be good to learn about their processes a bit more.

I doubt this is a permanent set-up, but I expect it to last for at least several months. I am still on a 40 hour work week, which is kind of nice. And it is work to do, which is very nice.

Well, it is now 5 minutes later than when I started this post and I'm trying to decide if I should keep rambling or go back to reading "Uncle Tom's Cabin." The book is actually pretty good. I try to read classics periodically and since this one is so popular I figured it was a good time to read it. My biggest problem is that it was due back at the library yesterday so now I'm reading it on the computer screen which isn't quite as comfortable.

Thursday: backyard

What is outside?

Turkeys! It's the first time they've been seen in our backyard.

Wednesday: Watkin's Glen

Today we went to Watkin's Glen.

There were lots of waterfalls




At the end there were a lot of steps.

Monday: pictures from memorial day

Dusty and Laura joined us today for an excellent dinner. Dad and Pat tried their hands at WiiFit boxing, which is one of my favorites.
