salyer - benton band

Wedding Bells are ringing!

The Happy Couple! Tyler and Rachel Salyer!

We had a great time and made it home last night. It was a very eventful trip:
  • I got sick for over a day
  • Our car had a flat tire with a screw in it which caused a flat tire
  • Mom and Dad's car overheated and had to be towed. it took a day for them to get a replacement.
  • Brandon did not get a shirt for his tux (it was the wrong size when we picked it up and must have been left it there)
  • Angela got her hair done by a an ex-oil change technician because it had a 2 quarts of oil in it. Thanks Kim for the rescue.
  • The Wedding cake was delivered to the Chapel instead of the reception hall.
  • It was very hot, but no rain!
  • Tyler and his brothers and Rachel and her sisters surprised us at the reception with a new band see next posting

Angela and I are so glad to welcome Rachel to our family!

Things I do not get.

  1. I don't get why we are using corn for ethanol and people are starving all over the world.
  2. I don't get why we rely on people who could care less about us for oil when we have enough right here if we could only drill for it.
  3. I don't get why people value animals over real people.
  4. I don't get why people think tax cuts are a bad thing, it's my money to start with.
  5. I don't get why people didn't call their dad today on Father's Day, I did and my boys called me.
  6. I don't get why people who are trying to adopt a baby can have someone change their mind and destroy dreams of people who will love that baby more than anybody else ever could.
  7. I don't get why people believe in global warming, GOD is in control, not us. (the temperatures are going down right now not up, tornadoes are caused by cold fronts not rising temperatures, also follow the money and see how people who are scaring us have set themselves up to benefit financially from it, and some of the most famous people who are trying to scare us are making the problem much more worse than I ever could, with their private jets and huge homes).
  8. I don't get why people are to full pride to say they are sorry, go rent the Bucket List today!
  9. I don't get why people think they can't make a difference in a situation so they just don't try.
  10. I don't get why Jesus Christ died for you and me, but I am glad he did.

What week!




It all started last Sunday with Brandon's graduation from The Ohio State University! We are so proud of him, he has a job already at Nationwide financial services!
We had a party to celebrate and a good time was had by all!
  • Monday, I left for Chicago for work and it was so cold! Really it only in the 60s at night 70s in the day, but it seemed worse after leaving the 90s. Brandon also hurt his foot at softball and is on crutches! Angela had to take him for an MRI to make sure nothing was torn.
  • Thursday, I came home and Brandon left for a wedding in TN, he flew down and Corey is driving down today, so Angela and I are home alone, at least for a few more days.
  • I am working from home today, Angela and Tammy went shopping, Pam called and said that Jordan got a concussion at the party! During the football game, at the party see above, she ran into Jeremiah and he gave her a black eye, well she was not feeling well all week, so the doctor confirmed that it was more than a shiner!
  • Tyler and Rachel getting house ready to sell and move after the wedding, so that is the next BIG thing during June, then maybe things will slow down?

Boys and their toys

Well it's been a while since I updated the life of my 3 sons, so here is the latest.


  • Tyler - got his Master's degree, finished teaching his 2nd year of school, getting married to a great women, Rachel (we gain a new daughter-in-law!) at the end of June, is selling his house and buying a new one. And found time to also buy a new car. He is flying up this weekend for Brandon's graduation.



  • Brandon - Went canoeing again last weekend, same results, capsized lost the canoe and the oars, but since it was during the daylight, he made it out alive, but very wet. He graduates from OSU this weekend, working for Nationwide Financial, and he bought a motorcycle for the gas mileage.








                                              • Corey - Finished his 3rd year at OSU and is moving back home for the summer, working for Grass Roots landscaping, and he also bought a new to him used car, a Toyota Camry, very nice. Sold the old Jimmy to Jim, sad to see it go, but it was time.
