friday 23 april

we just had a shower and have a few errands to run this morning. To the harley shop for a state inspection, pick up meds at cvs, and most importantly to court house to find out how much our increased property taxes will be after a new assessment. I (we, all of us) are so very proud of Angie for her dedication and commitment on her way to a new career, you go girl. PS: after she has completed her degree and is full time employed there is no way that my favorite son in law is going to become a "house husband" before i ever get that oppurtunity! I pray that you all are careful in your endeavors this day and I love you all very much, peace out.
