Sunday Night Again...

-
The weekend is winding down.  We got some rain yesterday, which is really going to help things green up around here.  Maybe now I can make a little campfire some evening without worrying about burning the whole neighborhood down?  I reserved a camp site at the Gull Lake Recreation Area the weekend of May 15th.  Kampens will also be there.  Let the camping season begin!!!

My girlfriend and I are escaping to Duluth on Thursday for a couple of days.  I just can't wait.  Grandma D. is watching our monkeys while we're gone, which we are so grateful for.  Ava has been so good this weekend that it is almost frightening.  I wonder what is wrong with her?!  I think being able to get outside and burn energy has really helped.

Well, we have to make a big decision this week -- a decision that could change everything in our little corner of the world.  Can't say what it is right now, other than it is a good thing.  (And no, we haven't decided to have another baby.  It's too late for that, folks.  I've got the scars to prove it!)  Anyway, more on this subject later.

Not much else to report at the moment.  A very uneventful working weekend at home with the kids.  I like it that way.

It's back to work tomorrow.  I am getting the itch to make myself useful again.  I can only be off work for so long and I need to do something.  I could not stay at home all day every day.  It's not for me. So today, since I had the day completely to myself, the task at hand was to do laundry.  And do laundry I did.  As I write this, every article of clothing in the house is clean, folded (mostly) and put away (kind of). My job here is done. While completing the menial task of washing clothes, I had the television on as a distraction.  As usual, since it's not football season, I dialed up Turner Classic Movies. The Singing Nun , starring Debbie Reynolds and Ricardo Montalban, was on, so I casually watched it while waiting for clothes to dry.  Aside from being a nauseating mellow drama, I knew enough about my 1960s music history to know it was based on a true story.  Yes, there really was a singing nun. In fact, we used to have a record of the Singing Nun's bi

Parenting is a tough job.  But I am determined to teach the Tax Deductions good from bad, as evidenced by this video demonstration of the Boy.  He learns quickly.  In fact, he goes so fast, you might have to watch it twice. Still, he's a keeper.

"New" old pictures!

I'm not stupid, but I can be a slow learner some times. Other times, I'm a little intimidated to try something new because I'm afraid I'll screw it up - hey, I've got a history. So after we got our new Mac I was really disappointed that it didn't recognize our digital camera.  In the Microsoft world, much of the technology is "plug and play."  Just plug the USB port into your PC and the new gizmo is up and running.  I have found that isn't necessarily the case with a Mac.  (it could also be very possible I'm doing something wrong - hey, I've got a history). I knew when I purchased a Mac that they weren't compatible with some things - it is Bill Gates' world and we just live in it.  Apple is Microsoft's competitor and Microsoft is the giant of the world.  But the payoff to owning a Mac is that you get a fine-oiled machine that just works .  And that's very much proven true so far. But one rainy evening I decided to ge
