A Book

I am looking for a book to give to my son for graduation. I have found a few that I kinda like but am wondering if any of you have any titles for me to check out. I want it to be a "meaningful" book from a mother to a son (and also another one father to son). It could also be from parents to a son.

Any suggestions??

Also....any other "cool" ideas for things that we could get for him??

Yeah....A Package!

Yeah....I received a package in the mail yesterday from Jennifer at pen of jen! I won part of her anniversary give-away and am thrilled with what I received! I can't wait to find a little time to dive into the books!

Thanks Jennifer!

Weekend Plans

We plan on going to SF tomorrow.....to "celebrate" Chad's birthday (we had planned on going last weekend but it was too cold). He gets to pick the place to eat and then we do a little shopping. They have some great second hand stores for DVD's and PlayStation games. He and Jeremy will do that while Courtney and I hit the "real" stores to see if we can find any bargains.

Sunday will be busy with Church and Shooting Sports (we have SS every Sunday thru April).

Do any of you have anything exciting going on this weekend?

Pig Time Again!

It's that time again....time to start loading out pigs. We took one load out this morning (175) and will be working on that for the next several weeks. We have someone hired to do the pressure washing so that's a load off our minds. Our kids and my friend Laurie's kids usually do the washing but they are all a little busy with basketball and school right now.

So.....if you see me in the next few weeks, don't get too close or you might just get whiff of me and it won't be pleasant!!!

Brrrrrr!

It was minus 4 degrees this morning and the wind was blowing like crazy when I did the pig chores.....brrrrrrr! At least we didn't get the snow like they did further south...there is a blizzard going on just a few hours south of us.

I would love to just snuggle in and watch movies or something like that this evening but Courtney has a basketball game and I can't (or should say won't) miss that!

Happy Birthday!

It is Chad's (41st) birthday today!

Happy Birthday Chad....I love you!
