I’m always learning. Siempre estoy estudiando.

My girls!

Waffle House. Our normal place was out of power.

OYB!

Si!

Everly’s bike had a flat. I fixed it. Pretty hard. I took a series of picture to help me remember the order of the parts on and off.

New tube in!

Back together.

The girls have a fantastic time with the little cookie cutters I bought them. Playdoh never looked so tasty.

Ordered groceries.

Everly was missing a little toy. We took everything out of the back seat area to look. Never could find it. Did clean out the car, however.

I got them home around 6:00pm. I brushed and put a braid in their hair. Then played about seven rounds of Hide and Go Seek. The girls stumped me a few times. I was amazed.

Checked the mail at my office.

Picked up the groceries on the way home as well as a pizza for Jesse.

Released a new episode of Verbal Surgery called, “ManMachine.” It’s so good.

Kathy has a small one of these. Fantastic!

I’ve been watching a lot of Rick Beato’s videos on YouTube. He’s a musical genius and really funny. I sent him an email last night. Apparently, we live pretty close to each other. He has over 2.4 million subscribers on YouTube. Whoa. I reckon I’ll hear from him pretty soon. I know he’s super busy.

Got to Global Mall early today.

Great to have the girls back!

I used the Nutribullet this morning to make us fruit smoothies. Our favorite was the banana/watermelon mix.

They got these little fizzy balls with a tiny prize inside.

OYB!

Español. Por que no?

We went to Metro Cafe for burgers and a veggie omelet. And cake. Sadly, the Oreo cake was gone. We had to make do with a Snickers cake. Tough.

Everly fell and scraped her shin this morning. This is the scene of the accident.

Shhhhh.

Un poco mas Harry.

After I took the girls home, unpacked the car, and played five games of Hide and Seek, I went to my office. Checked the mail and picked out my wardrobe and show and tell for speaking this Sunday. Decided to go Asian. I’ll be doing “Outreach Greatest Hits”

Rained 2″ in the last two days.

Would you go down this road?

I had a friend whose place was being vandalized. I sent him this idea from Amazon.

Hummusing.

I had a fun day with old and new friends from Christ Church UMC from Birmingham, AL. We met up at the BAPS Hindu temple in Lawrenceville.

I was there early and studied Spanish.

I also did some research on the temple. 34,000 bricks. Turkish limestone and Italian marble. Two years to build. Carved in India. Sent the pieces in 200 containers to Savannah from India.

You can see the difference between the limestone (cream colored) and the marble (gray).

I love these.

Beautiful Crepe Myrtles blooming on the property.

We had Somali food for lunch at Madina in Clarkston.

Then to the Clarkston Mosque. It was prayer time for them.

Safari continued at the Buford Highway Farmers Market.

Also took them to Asian Square.

Mas Harry.

Got the license plate stickers on.

One of the Facebook pages I really enjoy is called “Unique Trees.” This certainly is one of them!

Español!

OYB!

Each time you complete a lesson you get XP or experience points. Until today, there was really nothing you could spend that on. Now with the timed challenges you can “buy” a little time to complete the set of questions. Before today you actually had to BUY time with actual money which I never did. Using the XP points lets me gain way more points than I usually could because I could have a little more time to answer all the questions.

Had a great talk with my buddy Anthony this morning.

I saw an interview where the word “nihilist” as used. Wasn’t really clear on that.

Mas con Harry.

Deposited a check to cover the ones I mistakenly deposited into my account yesterday.

I’m looking forward to speaking at the UNconvention next Saturday at 11am. Fun!

My Nutribullet came in this evening. I enjoyed making a smoothie with KaChava this evening. Tasted really good.

Watered my plants.

I’ve enjoyed playing Uncharted 4 again. Haven’t played it in a long time.

Siempre adelante!

OYB!

My flip flop had a blow out. Bahd luck.

Español!

I kind of eat junk at night. I decided to try blending fruit and other meal replacement ideas. I got two bags of Ka-Chava. One is chocolate, the other vanilla. I thought the girls might also like it. It turns out to be about $4/meal. Ka’chava ingredients. Just click on the link to see more info.

I spent too much time trying to figure out which blender to get for how much. I decided on this one and a replacement plan if I have a problem with it over the next four years.

Un poco mas cada dia.

I spent my day working on the details of a group of thirteen staff leaders from a Methodist church in Birmingham who will be visiting on Monday the 19th. They will eat at Al Madina, so I worked up the order and talked with the manager as well as with my buddy Ben Birdsong who is bringing the group.

Called one of the staff at First Baptist Atlanta. They will be changing from a snail mail check to direct deposit, which is fine with me. I gave them my email.

I recorded a new episode of Verbal Surgery called, “Strong Love.” My overwhelming humility keeps me from going on and on about how good it was.

After recording at Stone Mountain, I went on my Safari recon. Started at Madina to check with the manager about the order and when we’d be there.

Called my buddy at the Clarkston Mosque about the group coming.

I thought Madina was looking pretty good.

I got an extension for my earbuds. I use them with my computer and PS4 controller.

I was glad to touch base with some of my contacts including Abdi.

Carros volandos en Español.

The mosque in Clarkston has been completed.

Saw this on a pole by the Buford Highway Farmers Market.

This struck me as funny. Ever watched Little Rascals?

Went by my office to check the mail.

CD Tower to see my Buddhist friends.

The Hong Kong bakery will be open on Monday. Amen.

Also went by the Vietnamese Pharmacy to see Dr. Nguyen.

Deposited checks. I used the wrong card, so I wrote a check on my personal account for the amount of the two checks I deposited to reimburse the ministry.

Gassed up my car. Seems like gas prices are always higher during the Summer.

I’ve found this class engrossing.

I’m not sure I know all the words to the Rosary. You?

I just looked it up. Kind of complicated.

Too close to home.

They were good!

Fun to see the ISS last night!

Adelante!

All my girls! Missed you, Nana!

Waffle House rocks.

Dark side of the ‘shroom.

OYB!

Nueva palabra.

These are the kind of jobs I do. Taking out the playdoh from one of Everly’s doll’s shoes.

Those little cookie cutters have been a hit.

Everly got her backpack in today. She was happy, but not nearly has happy as Penelope!

She was tired today.

Sometimes Penelope gets nosebleeds. I was glad that I’d done the First Aid course with the Red Cross. I knew exactly what to do and for how long. It kind of freaked me out a bit because there was a lot of blood. I finally had to pinch her nose for her and hold it for about seven minutes before it stopped bleeding. I tried to let her do it, but she wasn’t squeezing it quite hard enough. Poor sweet angel.

Miles worked extra long yesterday and was able to come pick them up pretty early today. I’ll be picking Penelope up from school soon so I’ll be working at the mission on Fridays as well.

My back is still hurting so I’m glad I could go lay back down.

My favorite birthday card.

I enjoy seeing my calendar fill up.

I dig Tom Waits.

Love these girls SO much!

I thought this was cool.

Español!

Vacuumed the house.

Later, my back started hurting. I hadn’t really thought about it, but K reckons they are interrelated.

Cleaned my glass doors.

OYB!

I pumped up the tire on Everly’s bike. Didn’t hold air. I just ordered another tube on Amazon.

The girls have fun together.

Another mile stone.

Always trying to figure something out.

Mexican food ftw!

Then to Walmart to pick up school supplies.

Packing her new backpack.

I got Everly a couple of new dolls.

I was talking to a friend of mine about binoculars and decided to pick up a new pair for my car. My old ones are falling apart.

I thought this looked like England.

So beautiful.

Penelope had a great time showing her Mama all her new stuff for school.

Mas y mas.

Went by my office to check the mail and water my ficus.

Saw the International Space Station for the 71st time this evening!

Released a new episode of Verbal Surgery called, “Live On Accident”

Beautiful morning!

I saw this truck a couple of times today.

Love my girls!

Deposited a check.

Put Ashley’s old phone in the mail. We got the replacement yesterday.

The little bamboo plant I repotted yesterday looks happy.

OYB!

Nuevas palabras! Esta es muy facil recordar.

I’m looking forward to speaking at the UNconvention soon.

Everly helped me clean the birdbaths.

Un poco mas!

We had fun eating lunch. For a treat, we split a big slice of cake. Delicious!

Kathy asked us if we had any left. We just laughed and laughed.

Little rainy in the afternoon.

Been working on getting a copy of the lease and making sure the Kendalls are listed on it as proof of residence for Penelope to go to school.

The girls did a great job with the accessories.

Penelope’s new backpack came in! She was super excited about it. I was glad for that, but Everly was crushed that she didn’t get anything. I had to fix that right quick and we looked and ordered her one too.

Ashley and I are trying to keep the girl’s hair in braids as much as possible. It just becomes a tangled mess otherwise. Everly’s hair is almost to her butt.

They had fun putting stickers on this little pink bus.

Mas Harry.

Went by my office to check the mail.

Global Mall pick up!

We had a fun FaceTime with Nana and the two cousins, Sadie and Harper. The girls found this bug and wondered if I knew what it was. Pretty weird looking.

Penelope did a fantastic job coloring this pony. It’s supposed to work with this Quiver app that makes Augumented Reality with the picture. I never could get it to work.

Gassed up my car, checked fluids and cleaned windshield.

The diesel pump had this amount on it. I reckon they got the wrong kind and suddenly realized it.

The girls like to climb on the rocks while I’m working with the car.

Deposited checks.

OYB!

I’m still in the middle of this injury lawsuit with a lady I helped at this conference in London. Of course I’m on the defendant’s side. The hotel had a huge hunk of wood that hit her while she was in the bathroom and knocked her out.

Español!

The girls and I did a recon of Huntley Hills Elementary to check on when the Open House for the Kindergarteners would be and the documents that we need to have on hand. We’ll go to Huntley Hills to check out the teacher and the classroom.

After seeing how early the school bus gets there, Ashley decided it was better to drop her off in the car. I’ll pick her up after she gets out.

Las historias.

My new Panama hat is on the way!

Me gusta este libro.

Picked up the mail.

It’s my birthday, along with Julius Caesar, Henry David Thoreau, Mogdiliani, George Eastman, and Buckminster Fuller.

Richard Branson went into space. No thanks. I’ll stay down here.

Por supuesto!

OYB!

Cada dia.

Always fun to talk with my buddy, Anthony.

Enjoyed Thai food for lunch.

Harry! The title means, “The Worst Birthday.”

Whenever the girls and I see geese we always say, “Honk honk, honk honk!” and wave one arm up and down like a wing.

It’ll probably be too cloudy this evening.

Big storm blew through with a lot of lightning.

Rained about .75″

Getting closer to getting my new hat!

Kathy and Jesse took me out to eat to Provinos, our favorite Italian restaurant.

Picked up groceries.
