How to fold a fitted sheet
Aug 17th
Now this is something that has eluded me for over 30 years. I fold the laundry at our house and this is a bugger. Thanks to Target.com which tells us how to fold a fitted sheet. Pay attention kids, this will appear on the final!
Another great day
Jun 16th
Wednesday and Thursday were awesome, just sitting around soaking up the sun, enjoying some adult beverages. This is the way vacation should be. Not much else to report, but pictures are coming soon. I forgot my firewire cable for the camera so it will have to wait ’til we return.
Day 2
Jun 14th
Well, the day on the boat has been great. The weather is in the high 80′s and sunny, with a threat of T-storms. While on the boat, we all were jumping off the slide and enjoying swimming, one of our friends decided to dive in from the roof. Something went wrong and he popped out his shoulder and broke a bone along the way. The day was not ruined as a great couple of folks helped us by taking out the guy to the hospital for us.
So we then decided to move the boat, another tragedy of sorts. The canopy on the boat was torn and we bumped the boat on shore, but no damage at all, thank goodness.
To add to the fun, my little Emma threw her dinner on the floor in the middle of the night. Gotta love vacation or at least the end of the day, ’cause another one is coming…
HOT!!!!

We’re in Monticello, KY, home of the Cumberland Lake resort/marina that we rented our boat from. We arrived at 3PM via back-roads and crazy highways that just ended, so you were forced to turn. The temperature was in the high 80′s and the humidity had to be close to 100%. Our party was to meet at 3PM, and we were early, but they weren’t. The kids patiently waited for over 2 hours. The boat is sweet. This far exceeded my expectations. More to follow

PCWorld has a great article on things you may have missed while surfing the great divide. Worth the read.
Amazing
May 5th
My 3 kids are amazing! Here’s why. A neighbor of ours who walks her two dogs 2 times a day, my kids play outside every day (what a concept?). The know every dog in the neighborhood. Well just the other day one of her dogs died. My kids wanted to something for her. This was their own idea, not their parents idea. They each contributed to making a card and wanted to buy her flowers.
They delivered them the other day and it made her week. I am so grateful for these kids…
