“The Red Ones make you stop and the Green Ones make you go.”
s
You can’t resist a line like that.

Shocking how many people thought they were learning something.

P Approved.
s
Nap time.
s
s

And Enigmas.

Always the weirdest stuff there. Rattlesnake rattles.
s
If I make a maracas out of rattlesnake rattles, would that be a rattlesnake rattle rattle?

Santa Muerta in a stunning green/gold combo. Go Bears!
s

Went to the Post Office to mail shirts off. We are getting out of the t shirt business. Too much hassle for tiny amount of money.

Then to Azalea. We got them on site then came home to work on Admin duties.

St. Benedict.

Penelope loves Plaza Fiesta!
s
P was too small for this ride. Reminded me of when Ashley was five and rode on the back of an elephant. I remember asking her, “Ashley do you want Daddy to ride with you on the elephant?” She answered, “No, Daddy. I can do it on my own. I’m five.” My daughter. Always the intrepid one!
s

Returned to FBC Doraville to give our new team the initial briefing.

Then to Azalea!
s
s

A constant state of child juggling. Wow. She is active.
s

We gathered up our kids at the missions and gave everyone a back pack and almost all the school supplies they needed. There were a few items we still need to get, like binders. I’m going to make a shopping list Tuesday and then go and buy stuff on Wednesday.

We’ve had the “Yeah, Baby!” and “Best Day Ever!” t-shirts since 2013. Today was the first day that I’ve worn one. I normally wear my brain shirts. (And in case you’re wondering, I have 22.) Baby’s diaper didn’t do it’s job. Bahd luck.

We dropped off the newsletters to the US Post.

Set! P’s Tienda! Newsletters!

Tim A. Cummins @ 8:35 pm  

This morning I met up with Ashley and Penelope. We went to FBC Doraville to build the set for The Show. We got it totally set up in about an hour. Pretty fast.

We took about another hour to put a chalk board sheeting on a wall board.
s

Ashley can draw on it with special markers.

Enjoyed eating at Pho 24. We got food for Miles and Jesse, too.

Adding email addresses to our list.

Editing! Shopping! Pills!

Tim A. Cummins @ 9:47 pm  

I had four teams last week. Yesterday, I edited two of the videos. Today I did the other two.
s
It’s quite a procedure including editing the video, uploading to YouTube, getting the link to the video and then sending the link to the team along with the links to their photo galleries.
s
s
s

Hard to keep stuff straight. I continue to develop better systems of doing things.
s

I consider the team “complete” when that task is accomplished and when the hard copy DVD is in the mail to them.
s

Enjoyed lunch with Jesse. Always interesting.
s

Gassed up my car.
s
Sorted K’s pills and put them in a bottle.
s
s
Paint used to come in the bottle. From the Dollar Tree.

Did the family shopping.
s

Watched Our Finest Hour with K this evening. True story based on a Coast Guard rescue.

Admin duties now.

This cracked me up.
s
Wow.
s
Never too much Jesse!
