Whew... where has the time gone? It seems like just yesterday that I was writing my last post.
Well, lets see... In the last week several people whom I have know passed away, I picked up another project (unofficially), the weather has turned back into winter from the one or two days of spring that we had and Katie and Row's visit has gotten a week closer!
It seems we have picked up on the property bug again and are searching for that "perfect spot" east of the mountains. One that has lots of trees, a well, lots o' critters that can be hunted, and a creek if possible. We have found several candidates and are planning on going over for a look around the middle of next month. We are narrowing down 4 or 5 (maybe 6) in the same area so we can see them on the same weekend.
For this weekend we don't have much planned except a Memorial Day get together at Melissa's folks house - that should be fun (no... really!). Tomorrow I'm going up to see my folks for a few hours (and breakfast) and to see if I can get some Iris pictures from around LaConner - they should be up and colorful now. Hopefully the weather will cooperate a little bit for things this weekend.

May 16th, 2008
So, I haven't been on here for a couple of weeks - just as I thought it might shake out. I get busy and forget about adding stuff here - then I don't think that I have anything to say or I don't feel like writing. I guess this is more about me than anything else.
Kimberly got married this week!! I'm so happy for her and Ronnie, but a little down because she is my little girl. She always will be (along with Amanda and Katie), but as a Dad this is a big step. I knew this day would happen and didn't give it much thought until it did. I wish I could have been there but I don't have any time off working as a contractor. If I don't work I don't get paid.
Katie, Row and the baby will be here in a couple of weeks and we are looking forward to that. I think it will be a real eye opener for Roe, I don't think he has been exposed to anything like this before.
The weather has FINALLY gotten nice!!! I woke up this morning and the bids were singing and the sun was coming up - it was awesome. We have been looking forward to summer for a long time and it's great that it finally decided to show up. Last weekend I cut and hauled about 2 1/2 cords of wood - boy was I sore!!! This weekend I'll get about another 1 1/2 cords more and we should be set for the winter. I like to cut wood - it reminds me of when I HAD TO cut it with Dad - and what a good time I had with him even though I didn't see it at the time. I always remember when Grandpa Branca had his lot cleared off for the new sports shop and dad and I cut the trees there. I don't know how many nights and weekends we hauled wood but it seemed like a long time - weeks.
Work is going well. I'm managing 4 projects now but one will go away in a couple of weeks (hopefully) so I can concentrate on just three. We have had meetings with vendors this week and I'm bored while the engineers are sitting around the table talking - so I thought it would be a good time to get this updated.
