A week or so of updates
Thur 12/07/06 – Took the kids to get a birthday gift for dad. Attended Girl Scout service unit meeting.
Wed 12/06/06 – Worked in the cave for 6 hours, then took off a little early, since mom, dad and Bea were coming over from Topeka. Bea said she had to see the young man with the deep voice (that would be Steve). So, we had a nice lunch of John’s most excellent stew and some fresh baked Schwan bread. Mmmm. We took a lot of pictures too. In fact, I took a few pictures of Bea and her monster camera taking pictures of other things. It was pretty funny. The kids got home from school and we sat around shooting the breeze for awhile. John arrived and accepted many compliments. We had some fun trying to find a particular quote in Macbeth.
Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more.
It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.
After they left I had to go to our Northland church planning meeting for the diocese. It was quite interesting. I don’t feel I have that much to contribute personally, but I really love maps, and they had a BUNCH of huge maps of various areas of the northland.
Tue 12/05/06 – Mom’s 70th birthday today. I think she liked her surprise.
Mon 12/04/06 – Picked be up at 5:00 pm, drove her over to Topeka. It was quite fun. I had Bea wait at the garage, went up to the door and rang the bell. When mom answered the door, I said “We’re here!”. She wanted to know who “we” was. I said that the kids and John were getting something out of the car and would be right in. I said “didn’t you ask us for dinner tonight???” She said “ummm, no..”. That was funny. After we were talking for a minute, Bea came in and mom was surprised, although she didn’t show it much. We had a really nice visit before I had to head back home.

Sounds like a fun week.. wondered why you hadn't been updating your blog. I guess you were busy! =)
You think I have a monster camera? Just wait till you see it with the 300 mm lens. LOL
