A Tree Falls in Benton

Unfortunately, it falls on our shop! My neighbor Bobby was in charge of dropping it to the left. As you can see, it went to the right! UGH!!! The shop is a steel frame building so the damage wasn't too bad all things considered. 2/23/08

The Wannabes

Daniel, Allison, and I took part in the latest church play at our Valentine's banquet. It was a comedy about three bank robbers (former Bible salesmen) in the 1930 who were not capable of emulating Bonnie and Clyde. Daniel played a boy named Stump who was kidnapped by the bank robbers as a last resort because they did such a poor job of robbing banks. The problem was that Stump's step-dad didn't like him and hardly wanted him back. I played a patron in the diner and had one line, Allison played a bank teller. Allison also had one line. Daniel had about ten lines and did a great job. There are no pictures of me as I was the photographer during the dress rehearsal.

Matthew's 13th Birthday

Matthew and his Dad (me) went to Miami to see baby Brady and to celebrate Matthew's 13th Birthday. A couple of pictures are inserted below; Matthew and Brady and Uncle Matt and Brady. The trip occurred in late January 2008. We'll have to post more pictures later.
