We wrapped up the Summer at the Minnesota State fair watching Brad Paisley and Jewel. What a great show!
Overcommers Native hockey school
So we had our friends from 9 hours north of us down for the annual Overcommers Ministries native hockey school. We had basically the same group of people (9 in all) stay with us for a week. As always, it was fun, and a blessing to spend time with them.
Here is a picture of the players on the ice.
July 5th Minneman Triathlon
Trap shooting
This is only the second type of gun I've ever fired. The first was an M-16... a bit different. But I must say, it was very fun to blast away at the clay pigeons.
So I've started to sod my backyard. More to be done next weekend.
And we finally got some new furniture for our screen porch. I also mounted a TV in the corner to get it out of the way. It's kind of nice watching evening sports while in the hot tub.
2007-2008 Rink
By far the best rink we have ever had... with over 3 full months of skating!
A trip to Disney World in January
Meeting Mr. Buzz Lightyear (to the rescue!)
And the Buzz Light year ride is one of my favorites...
Dana holding the Diet Dew as we leave a gas station... One of my favorite parts of traveling is stopping for Dew and coffee.
Thanks Walt, we had a great time!
Theodore Roosevelt's ideas on Immigrants
and
being an AMERICAN
in 1907.
"In
the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in
good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be
treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to
discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or
origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet
an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided
allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else
also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the
American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the
English language.. And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is
a loyalty to the American people."

Watching your kids eagerly place 5¢ on the concession stand on New Years Eve Movie Night...
Priceless.
Happy New Year
Remember my old RV?
The gentleman who bought it is now renting it out... his pictures of my house here.
Funny thing is, all the pictures he is using for his sight are mine that I used on Ebay when I sold it... with my house in the background!
With gas soaring these days, I don't miss filling up the tank!
