Sunday Update

Since the kids came home a day early, there was no reason to drive clear up to Waverly for supper. We decided to go to the Amanas instead. We were all set on going to the Colony Inn. When we got there a sign on the door said, "The Colony Inn will be closed all of February". What a disappointment. We then when to the Chocolate House. The chocolate smell was wonderful when we first walked in, but the prices were sky high. We bought some truffles that were rejects because they were a little more affordable. We then decided to go to the Ox Yoke. They seated us in The Wood Shed. The food was good, but not nearly as good as The Colony Inn. We ate lots of food and still had dessert. When we got home it looked like Mao had a very long nap and had never left his spot on the couch. It was really nice to have the family all together to eat a meal.

My love is the evening breeze touching your skin, the gentle sweet saying of leaves in the wind, the whisper that calls after you in the night, and kisses your ear in the early light.

Friday Update

The weekend is upon us. Thomas will drive down this afternoon to pickup Ashley. She his going to spend the weekend on the Wartburg campus to get a taste of college life. Doug, hopefully Chloe and I will be driving up to Waverly Saturday, so we can all go out to eat at the Martin Brandenburg Restaurant.

Yesterday was a good day. I learned how to scan documents at work. The printer, copy, fax, scanner machine at work now has a button with my name on it for sending scans to my Outlook email. Doug had a good day as well, he and Johnny went to Iowa City. Chloe now has a computer desk and kick-ass chair in her room. We also have a nice little coffee table in the day kitchen.

Ashley had her first real drive in the snow last night. She made it home without any problems. She said she drove a little slower and never slid once. On the other hand, when Doug was driving me home from work we saw the aftermath off several accidents, bad drivers (especially the old man in the van and someone in a truck). We also saw an actual accident happen. An Explorer was waiting to back out from the curb after having slid through an intersection, when another car did not have control and the side of the car slid across the Explorers back bumper. It just goes to show no matter how much you are in control, you always have to be watching out for the other crazy drivers.

I see trees of green, red roses, too, I see them bloom for me and you. And I think to myself, what a wonderful world.

Heute habe ich zu viel Arbeit.

Thursday Update

The weekend is coming up soon. It is really starting to pick up at work, which is good. When it is busy at work the time moves faster. Nothing too exciting happening around home. Gordon's muffler was fixed yesterday. Gordon is a nice quiet Nissan again. American Idol started the Hollywood auditions last night. It's funny how some people forget what a judges job is. They are there to judge you. If your singing is not up to the judges standards, then you are going home. Just because you think you can sing, it doesn't mean you are not hurting other peoples ears. Lost was a pretty good episode last night. Sawyer is continuing to be quite the trouble maker on the island.
