spring break

Jessica Andrew and I went to the Hampton Inn for a night of swimming and hot tubing. the pool was cold but the hot tub was great. We swam for about 3 hours in total. we even got the sauna to work . We had Green mile pizza ,and chips and dip, and pretzels, and shrimp and cocktail sauce and soda. The weather was suppose to be blizzard like but it missed us we did see some snow blowing out the pool windows. From our window we saw 4 deer in the morning, we all had fun. we did hear a frog in our room at night and never figures out what the sound was.The kids loved the coffee bar and making coffee with differnt creamers I liked the tea and hot chocolate.

pictures

Friday night Shelly and I went out to the barn , so I could take pictures of Shelly and Conny. It has been 4 years since I last saw them ride. Taking pictures of moving subjects with out flash in a building turned out harder then I thought. the movies turned out great but next time I will either talk less or talk more in riding terms on what is happening. I took 20 movies most only a few seconds long a couple a few minutes long. the picture were either too dark or fuzzy kind of sci fi like. It was fun. I then got to try out my car's directions to get home. it worked OK but my hands free phone is having trouble understanding me so it can be frustrating. I did make it home. Saturday I went to Shelly's so she could down load my pictures to her computer we then went for a car ride so Jessica could practice driving. Jessica is learning that car driving takes a lot of concentration and remembering rules and observation of things around you. I think she drove OK but just needs more practice. We then went to the parade of homes tour. we saw 2 houses one for $200.00and the second for $1,900.00 both houses were great had large closets and bathrooms the first was smaller then either of our houses at 1500 sq ft the second was 5000 sq ft the second was a party house with a walk in wine cellar and a kitchen with bar in the basement and a full kitchen up stairs. we liked the second layout better .It is fun looking and getting ideas for my basement bathroom.

friday

Today was a typical work day, I wanted to go on a transport so I could go home early but some one else wanted to go so she could go to a funeral so I let her go. the morning went very slow but speed up after lunch and I got out on time. we are having pizza tonight at Shelly's home Mark and I like everything pizza and the rest like cheese Then Shelly and I are going to the barn so I can take some pictures of her and Connie The last pictures of them I have are 5 years old.It is 47 degrees out so hopefully all is not muddy.I have the weekend off great!!!

A cricket is a scrap booking cutting machine, not a insect. It has all kinds of patterns and letters and pictures to scrap with. It will arrive at about my birthday.A Present to my self.It is like a little scrap booking computer. I can't wait to get it.
