Our Family Blog

It was good to see that being 50 doesn't have to be that bad.   Well, not too bad!  Actually, Pete looks great for 50.  Shannon, Micah and myself drove down from Spring while Megan and Hannah met us there.  It was good see everyone that turned out.  I'm hoping to see more of my extended family visit this blog page and this will fuel their interest in posting to this blog.  I think many of us would love to know what's happening with our other relatives and their loved ones. 

When we returned back to Spring, we decided to go to a particular furniture store and I missed the exit (I think it was Shannon's navigating) and had to drive the 'back roads' through another subdivision to get there.   As we are driving down the street, Shannon's say.. STOP, there's our house!   I doubled back and sure enough there was a duplicate of our home.  So we just had to stop and look.  As luck would have it the owner was outside unloading her groceries so I got out (to Shannon's dismay) to talk to her.   Well, it turned out she was very gracious and after coaxing Shannon out of truck I asked if we could see the inside if we helped her carry in her groceries!   Well, they are renovating their home and it was great to see how the lower floors, walls and ceiling were all constructed and where the load bearing points are.  We visited with them for about 30 minutes talking about our homes and our plans for them.  It's cool how some missed exit in life can bring new opportunities and friendships.

Enough for today.   Happy Birthday Pete!
