My Second Estate: May 2009
http://mysecondestate.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 29, 2009. There is a song that pops into my head from time to time. A tune that we used to dance to at the youth church dances in the 80's. It was done by Erasure and the first verse goes:. I'd like to be a child again, so many things to do. Playground noise and colour toys, and everything brand new.". Turns out, scooters gift came in handy. I will try to explain that but first enter 2nd verse of Erasure "when I needed you most":. I'd like to be a pirate ship, in search of hidden gold. Elder ...

My Second Estate: September 2007
http://mysecondestate.blogspot.com/2007_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 25, 2007. A mission in France. This is what missionaries do in France.I guess:. CLICK HERE FOR VIDEO. Hey Ben, do you remember unwrapping those Christmas gifts we got at that members family Christmas party? They were tin drink coasters with a picture of a car on them. I wouldn't have liked them as much if they didn't already have the coffee stains on them. The stars at Night. Are big and bright. Deep in the heart of Texas! But the Cowboys wont get past the Packers week 13! Our dear Kon...

My Second Estate: January 2009
http://mysecondestate.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, January 21, 2009. In the same way we show gratitude on a day other than thanksgiving, I'm going to pre-empt Valantines day and send a shout out to my Jenny. When I met her she was very career oriented and had a lot of things she wanted to accomplish. Whenever I breached the subject of children I had about as captive an audience as I do when I try to talk to her now about anything during the boys waking hours. Now, with career goals and opportunities in sight, Jenny is contemplating pushing the...

My Second Estate: October 2007
http://mysecondestate.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 31, 2007. SALE" in French means dirty. I am renaming my position. I've always been weary of salesman. When I was offered my sales job 9 years ago I wasn't too excited about it. I suppose that salesman stereotypes had perpetuated into the circles that taught me. Nevertheless, there were enough reasons for me to swallow my pride and try it. Without a thorough synopsis, I will mention a few things I have noticed about the sales folk I've known. 2 I would be reporting to people. All conver...

My Second Estate: Le Montage
http://mysecondestate.blogspot.com/2014/04/le-montage.html
Tuesday, April 15, 2014. After the peeling we took a pressure washer to remove the cambrium layer so as to leave nothing to desire for the bugs. We could now let the logs sit until we needed them. During "le montage" I felt like I did when I sat in my car praying and yes, crying, as I watched the drillers drill our well at $25.00 / foot a couple years ago. Anyhows, I digress. scrambling.oh yes. So we were scrambling to be ready for the crane. The logging truck that. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

My Second Estate: October 2008
http://mysecondestate.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 5, 2008. Over the past 5 years Jenn and I have taken to raising show kids. Today we showcased our 2 finest show kids at the Metcalfe fair. One of them took 2nd place in the 4 and under foot race while the other one fetched us a 4th place in the 5 year old category. They then doubled that up with a 2nd and 4th place respectively at the "stuffed sock animal contest". I gotta go. Its feeding time for our showkids. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). A good birthday cake. My dad caught one this big.

My Second Estate: April 2010
http://mysecondestate.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 20, 2010. A lengthy follow up on my last post. I have re-applied for my permit (my 1 year is up) only to be denied. My heart sunk. What would I do? It turns out 6 months ago they changed the rules and it is not permissible to build the garage before the house. So I have to get a septic permit first and then apply for a house permit. Not the end of the world, although I thought it was when I first heard the news. Then hired a guy to put in plumbing for the kitchen, water room, and bathroom.

My Second Estate: December 2007
http://mysecondestate.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 4, 2007. Getting tired of the buzz cut. I think this will be my next hair style. I've printed it off and will bring it to the barber for a consultation on what I need to do. I've always idolized Magnum P. I. (not Tom Selleck but the character) I bought the Detroit Tigers hat about 5 years ago and I like it. I think this is the next logical step. With any heavenly love I'll one day drive a Ferrari:). Monday, December 3, 2007. Bowling thrills and naked table marathons. How am I supposed t...

Tuesday, April 15, 2014. Our Next Big Adventure: The Maghreb. When we received the list in September 2013 it had the following options: Santo Domingo, Abu Dhabi, Lima, Lagos, Columbo, Guangzhou, Rabat, Bridgetown, Brussels, Kabul, Caracas, San Salvador, Bangkok and a few others. The one that stood out to us was RABAT. This was our chance to get back to Morocco. We put it atop our list and within 2 months were notified that we needed to prepare to move. We are headed to Morocco. April 17, 2014 at 9:36 AM.

My Second Estate: March 2008
http://mysecondestate.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 31, 2008. DID YOUR GRANDMA EVER EAT PLANKTON? LMBO I'm still laughing from the question Konrad asked Jenn tonight, "did your grandma ever eat plankton? I started with " the Alchemist" It helped pass the time on the flight to England but I felt it was a little elementary. I was intregued by the use of Melchizedek and the Urim and Thumim but over all I thought it he wasn't a very captivating writer. Then I read "Blood River". I thought it was incredible to learn of the untold Congo. I...I gue...
