Birthdays & Our Anniversary!
This is a big week! Paige, our oldest, turned 16, which means she got her drivers license. SCARY! She's already been out on several solo trips in our van to baseball and soccer games. AND YOU ASK WHY I DRINK? But the other anniversay is that Kim and I, as of Sunday, will have been married 17 years! Yes, she has tolerated me for that long. Start sending medals! She is a brave soul. So this holiday weekend here in the U.S. we are taking it easy. Thank you to all my friends for the well wishes so far. You are all so special! I'm shooting for 20 years, but I haven't consulted Kim. I hope she agrees!|

Keeping My Yard Healthy...Sort Of
I would have had personal pictures with this post, but it rained tonight after I got home and I didn't feel like taking pictures in the rain. Call me picky, if you must. After two years of neglect I finally decided to take my yard to a higher level. You know, fertilize, kill the weeds, etc. So I went out and bought Scott's Turf Builder, highly praised for its ability to to make a lawn green and lush. It just didn't count on someone who can't follow lines in the grass.
Yes, I put the fertilizer down, but I couldn't tell where I had been as I made passes through the yard. So now my yard looks like a cheap dye job....deep green areas with withered yellow patches here and there. After I realized my mistakes I put down fertilizer on the areas I missed, but they won't show improvement until we get rain. Which we got in small quantities tonight. I have a weird looking lawn. Which fits its owner.

Home Sweet Home
We are home from Missouri. I woke up at 5:30 am, but then slept for another half hour. I grabbed a coke out of the mini-fridge, then woke up my boys. They were not too happy to get up at 6:30 am. We hit the road for the three hour trip home, which was not too bad. We stopped for breakfast, then stopped to look at some fireworks before we hit the state line. Fireworks are illegal in Iowa, our home state, so after looking at them we, obviously, didn't buy any. I mean, that would be breaking the law. And I'm a cop, and I would never break the law. I would never have a clerk load up a bag full of fireworks and then place it in the trunk of our car. And if there are any loud "bangs" from our yard as the 4th of July approaches, it's purely coincidental. Because I would never buy illegal fireworks. Never. Ever.
