Alex entered his first official competition this past weekend. The Georgetown Main Street Program sponsored a “Lego My Georgetown” building contest for kids 5-14. The kids were to build some portion of downtown as it might look in the year 2055. The Georgetown effort was modeled after the Lego 50th anniversary “Brick to the Future” national competition. Both Chris and Alex actually registered, but Alex used all of our Legos on his creation, so Chris deferred to his older brother.

My sister called yesterday. She and her husband and two kids are back in the U.S. after 3 years in Germany! At first they thought they'd be coming back to Texas but, alas, opportunity called them to MO. I cannot wait to see them; was supposed to see them this summer in MI but we were just not able to make the trip.

WOW! I think this has been the longest stretch without a post since I started this blog back in April.

This is the first interior project we’ve tackled since moving into this house nearly 3 years ago. The house has a wonderful floor plan, but came with just about every other detail that I despise: wall-to-wall carpet, wallpaper, polished brass fixtures, and flat white wall paint – a designer’s house of horrors.

I'm not sure how to manipulate the Google Ads that appear on my site. It's a bit ironic that I posted one article regarding PbbbEbbTbbA, suggesting that the group find something else to do with their time, and suddenly my site becomes an animal rights activist "stuff-mart." I don't think that's really my target audience.
Lest the reader be confused on where I stand; God gave Adam and Eve ANIMAL fur as clothing, and told Noah to add MEAT to his menu. If it's OK with God, it's OK with me. And really, in this fallen world are not all creatures, great and small, members of an endangered species?
