House hunting


Today was like many Sunday afternoons. After church at Westbrook, Ashley and I drove around looking for a house. After a frustrating start (we found a great home, but it was $440,000) we finally found some nice houses at a decent Wisconsin price. We are still in the looking stage of the house buying procedure. If anyone would like to contribute to our house fund that would be great. Houses in the Waukesha area are slightly higher than in Tennessee, so we are going to have to save a bit more than we thought. So it is now rice and beans, and Shadow, well she is just going to have to hunt down her own game.
Best of luck with that hunting thing dog. Do you think this dog looks like a killer?

To my dad


Ten years ago. Ten years without your instructions, your guidance, your love. Ten years without your jokes, or sitting by the table eating crackers and cheese talking about life. Ten years ago cancer ended your life. In my mind those years are still like minutes ago, the pain and suffering and longing to see you again. Thank you for all you did for me, teaching me to be the man I am today. I miss you dad.
