Back from the Blog or How Lucky I am

Without our buds down the block we wouldn't have any cool way to use the web. Plus, when we come here, we get to hang out with Mylo for awhile. I know that I have been less than stellar on keeping up here, but we have no Internet and may not have any until August when broadband comes to our town.

The last few months have been exciting. We purchased our first home, I purchased my first new car. We've been moving, cleaning, organizing, throwing stuff away. All of that good stuff.

I have also been trying desperately to stay cool with family and friends. Those are the folks who matter most. Each day I realize that more and more.

Here's an example or two. A few weeks ago I attended the wedding of a friend from college. She is amazing. She's endured more than her share of bumps in the road. Strength and character aren't nearly strong enough words. I am fortunate to have been there to celebrate with her.

Here's another example. While visiting my friend Leah in Green Bay I got to spend time with her oldest daughter. I loved it. She is just barely 3. My reward? After lunch on July 4th, the young lady said to me, "Thank you, my friend."

Nice.
