Renovation Stories 3/ Presidents Day

      This post will get us caught up on the renovations for the time being. Right now we are getting ready to get the Kitchen and Den done upstairs. First though there has to be some demolition done in both areas. The kitchen us completely gutted and the wall that separates the dining room and kitchen has come down. The paneling in both rooms has to com down as well. It is taking me a little while to get everything cleared out but I am doing most of it alone with a little help from my son (3yrs. Old) and his plastic hammer and screwdriver. The best tools for this job are Saws All, Sledge Hammer, Circular saw, DeWalt Wrecking Hammer, Square Shovel, Crow Bar and Drill. You will also need caps for the water lines when you pull out the sink, dishwasher and refrigerator.


      Now on the other hand today is Presidents Day. A day to remember those men that have come before us and shaped this Nation into one of the greatest that the world has ever seen. Even though as of late it has begun to dwindle because of the fighting between the government officials of this great nation. If we could put our petty differences aside and focus clearly on what is best for the people of this great nation and not what is best for one political party or another. If we would fall back on the morals that built this nation and find the wise men and women that can move us forward like the men that have preceded us like: George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Franklin Roosevelt, JFK, and Ronald Reagan. But let’s not just remember these men but instead all 45 that have been elected to the office of President and led our great nation.

    I agree with you. One thing I have learned that many people do not understand is that the responsibility put upon these leaders is indescribable. I was reading a while back about how little sleep the presidents get at night. Not due to always having to be in meetings or someone needing to speak with them but just the stress of having to lead the Free World. It is enough to age a person 10 years in 1.

Baseball season #2

Baseball is here but of course with the rain we can’t really get a lot done. Most of our days have been spent indoors in the gym at school and we can get somethings done but not a whole lot. With that yesterday we are practicing in the gym again and in the middle of one player throwing a bullpen the lights go out. My initial thought was it was just in the gym. Then upon further investigation it is the entire school. So, I asked the resource officer and come to find out it was not just the school but the entire city and some outside of the city. So, for the last 20 minutes of practice we sat in the dark gym waiting on the power to come back on and when it didn’t it was time to go. This season has been somewhat crazy already and we haven’t even played a game yet. At this rate we either need a swim team or start an indoor waffle ball league. Till Tomorrow, D. Pounders

Post 2

      As a teacher I see about 250 students a day (give or take). Most days are fairly good with no problems but there are days when you wonder what in the world just happened and how did I keep my sanity. I was fully expecting Valentine’s Day to be one of the days but for the most part everything went well this year. even though the kids where hopped up on sugar they managed to hold things together. A lot of that credit can go to administrators and parents for holding the students accountable if they misbehave. Thank you to all of you.      Now before leaving home My wife and I gave our kids a small Valentines Day present and a card to tell them how much we Love them. They were both dry excited about their candy and a small gift. It is always so much fun to see the look on their faces when they get something.     Tonight though my wife and I will spend the evening at the church listening to ways to eliminate debt through a livestream. I ...
