Boys will be Boys #2

Had a GREAT Fathers day! Tyler called from Memphis early in the AM, Brandon gave me his present before he left for Napoleon, Ohio, and Corey slept on the couch all afternoon while I paid bills and balanced the checkbook!

• Tyler called today and said he was doing laundry recently and saw smoke coming from his clothes dryer! Seems like the clothes he was wearing while rebuilding his car were soaked with gasoline. Well the washer did not remove all of the gas and it spread to the other clothes, so when he put them in the dryer they caught fire! Luckily he was right there and was able to put out the fire before it spread.
• Still waiting on my Fathers Day present from Corey and Tyler. Corey said it was on the way but it was "complicated". (Found out today that "complicated" was a cash flow issue = too much cash out, not enough cash in), but I think they are in Columbus right now getting it.
• Brandon was bought a new TV and sold his old one to Corey and his old Wii to me. Has basement set up like a theater to watch it. Brandon has his paps wheeling and dealing genes in him. Pap would be proud.
• Both Brandon and Corey are doing very well in softball right now, Corey finally got moved to the outfield where his speed is a big plus. I am amazed at how fast my boys can run, I was never as fast as they are!

Neon is fading quickly, engine almost gone, needs to be replaced, but would cost more than I paid for the car. #1 prayer request = figure out what to do about a new car. Hate to buy a new car, but need something reliable. Tyler is going to try to work his car magic on it like he did on his car. Really have nothing to lose.

FINALLY, working in Columbus after 2 weeks in Chicago. Traveling is OK, but I miss sleeping next to my wonderful wife! She is much softer and sweeter than any hotel room will ever be! Glad to be home, unlike some people I know, I enjoy home cooking more then eating out!

I am thankful for a wife that loves to cook for her husband and family. Right now she is in bed reading her recipes preparing for Tyler's visit next week.

Pray for our CONNECT group, we have had a couple of visitors the last couple of weeks, one very strange one and one very nice one. Summer is a hard time for people with young kids due to sports, and vacations, but pray that remember their class cares for them and misses them when they are gone.

That's all for now, good night, and God Bless!
