Kathy rode her bike from our house to Clarkston today! She’s an Iron Woman! I’m just her support crew.

We enjoyed Pastor Phil at Clarkston International Bible Church.



On the way into church, I saw this.

Looks like the rapture had happened. Out of gold shoes no less!

He spoke on pain and suffering. Not the easiest topic! Bottom line? We have pain, but God stands there with us through it. Tru dat!

Enjoyed perhaps the best meal I’ve had in the last six months! Simple, home cooked vegetables at Always Fresh in Mountain Park was absolutely amazing!

The broccoli casserole, white corn and bbq were delicious!

Came home and rested. I’ve been trying to do a lot more of that! I do feel like I’m making progress. My ears feel better.

Sore from the mowing workout yesterday. Truly the hardest thing I have to do physically. We live on a hill. Need I say more? Whole lotta yard.

Front yard.

Looks like all that’s left is dirt. But the monkey grass keeps on spreading. Go, monkey GO! I figure in another ten years it’ll look like a lawn.

Had a little rain Thursday night.

A proud Friday for us as we see our sweet Ashley graduate from Georgia Perimeter College with her Journalism degree!

It was fun hanging out with Miles and Kathy!

Came home after the event to rest, then on to see the Avengers! In 3D!!

If you have enjoyed any of the Iron Man, Thor or Captain America movies, then you will LOVE Avengers. Amazing 3D.

Beautiful full moon last night. The frogs were really croaking.

Saturday morning I fixed Kathy’s bike, repaired some upholstery in the van, fixed the lawnmower wheel and mowed the yard! YOW!

I live on a half acre of land. It’s a lot to mow.

Worked on Team Logistics this morning. I capitalize it because that’s the importance I give it. When you have 100s of people in town, you have to think through all the tiny details that make their trip successful.

So I email people to verify how many people are coming and what kind of transportation they’re using, for instance.

Also repaired my camera case, my iPhone holster and the front floor cover of my car. Electrical tape and hot glue. It’s a way of life, baby!

We’re still celebrating Kathy’s birthday. I took her to Red Lobster. She especially liked the lava chocolate chip cookie.

Went to the mission this afternoon to help the kids.

We’re working on State facts. And math.

I liked Nishi’s fingernails.

Then went to Walmart. I got some new fans for my kid’s house.

Birdseed and people food too.

Admin duties at home.

Had a great time with my partners at FBC Mountain Park Wednesday evening!

My friend Bayo Otiti and I spoke about Islam.

I look forward to taking them on a tour of Clarkston on May 19th.

Enjoyed watching Big Bang Theory with Kathy in the evening.

Went to sleep early. Still trying to get completely recovered from the head cold I’ve had. My ears are still pretty stopped up and I feel tired a lot.

Interesting clouds today!

I’m still trying to get over the congestion I have. I decided to lay in the sun for awhile this morning. Seemed to make me feel better.

Kathy joined me for lunch then helped me at the mission.

Got to see Tabias today! He is one of the original kids from the mission. All grown up and working at Maggianos! GREAT to see him.

Afterwards, we went to the ATT store to get her a new iPhone! Her old phone finally bit the dust. I’m glad she’s got a Big Girl phone now!

After we got that squared away we went over to the mall. I got her a new dress and some cologne. So we finally got to have a little birthday celebration! That made me feel good.

Came home to set up the phone and watch Big Bang theory. Always good!

I’m tired. Crashing early. I really want to get well, although I’ve never felt all that bad. My ears are still congested. Pray for me!

Beautiful clouds!

Had a GREAT day!

Recorded a podcast! Always super groovy.

The most delicious recording ever!“Layer Cake!”

Enjoyed El Torerro with two of my favorite people: Ian and Ruthie North!

They’re looking GREAT! It’s a three point plan of attack. Mexican food, Yophoria yogurt then topped off with Barnes and Noble. Don’t get no better.

Dropped them off at their house then went to Azalea to help the kids with their homework.

Most of the kids didn’t have homework because they’re taking the CRCT test. It was fun to see them again after my trip!

Came home to spend time with Kathy. Her phone went dead while we were in Europe. We worked on trying to get a new one for her. We’ll finish the job on Tuesday.

I thought this cactus flower was awesome!

This reminded me of London!

I believe in this!

For some reason this reminds me of traveling.

Getting home is great!
