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.

Dali is one of my favorites.

No creo que necesito esta palabra.

Estoy estudiando! Yo escucho otras cosa por una hora o mas.

OYB!

Mild and damp.

Had a fun talk with my buddy Anthony. He cracks me up.

Muchos dias.

No muchos minutos mas, pero seis otros libros!

Had some pretty big storms blow through.

Deposited a few checks.

I got a USB-C to HDMI cable to connect my Mac to my new 1080p projector. Today, I set it all up to check out if everything was ok. Took a while to figure a couple of things out, but it’s working. That’s good news because Ashely said her computer is having problems. I have everything I need on my new MacBook Air. I need to set it all up in the Fellowship Hall at FBC Doraville and see if it’s better to use the sheet or my new screen.

It’s a Yaber V6. I think it may have been commissioned by Amazon.

I didn’t set up my screen again. I checked the picture out the last time I did a test.

Uploaded a new episode of Verbal Surgery called, “Hyper Normal.” It’s really good. My overwhelming humility keeps me from going on and on about how good it is.

Posted on Facebook.

I’ve always been a Churchill fan.

Amazing!

Por supuesto!

Looks Babylonian.

This struck me as funny. I’m going to record a podcast called Maximum Reality based on the other sign.

We were on Safari a lot today. Started at Waffle House and some rock climbing.

Mucho dinero.

I got the insurance for the mission squared away.

We came back from Good Will with two big bags of toys.

Included a helmet for Everly. We went trying to find her a bike. She needs one at her house and at mine. None that she liked.

OYB!

.5″ of rain yesterday.

Polypores! One of my favorite mushrooms.

I was on a mission to find a new fedora straw hat today. Mine is still ok, but it’s pretty beaten up. I got it at J Crew. Went to Perimeter Mall to see if they had any. I wasn’t optimistic about finding one. Turned out I was right. None there. Maybe Lenox Mall.

Our first stop at the Mall was Shake Shack. Kind of slow but the portobello sandwich was really good.

We enjoyed the really sensual shops like Lush and Bath and Bodyworks. They smell fantastic and it’s fun to wash your hands with the scented soaps.

We enjoyed looking at the window displays. I had them counting fish.

I’d never seen an Amazon brick and mortar store before.

Rained a lot in the ATL today. We got a bit wet getting back to the car in the parking lot. NBD.

Made it to the frozen yogurt place before we went back home.

I really enjoyed listening to this. It’s fun to see progress in my comprehension skills.

Un poco mas cada dia.

Got my girls!

These are Black-Faced Nonday Parakeets. I see them regularly.

Deposited checks.

The girls like to play on the rocks near the Walmart gas station. They think it’s like Pride Rock from Lion King.

Gassed up the car, cleaned windshield and checked all the fluids.

I sewed up a costume dress that Everly likes. It was really hard to sew. It didn’t turn out too well, but she can’t tell a difference.

OYB. Prayer of Jabez was a big deal years ago.

Palabras nuevas.

I liked the water drops on my banana plant leaves.

Pool party!

Fixed the girls fruit and corn for brunch.

I peel and cut these up.

I got some tiny cookie cutters that the girls really enjoyed playing with.

I briefly lost my reading glasses. I had them on during the pool party and got wet. I took them off when I removed my shirt and forgot where I put them. Nearly invisible. I hardly ever lose things.

I talked with our insurance representative. We are cutting the renewal close. Hate that. Wasn’t our fault. We should still make the deadline.

Adelante!

I really enjoy watching crows. They are my favorite birds.

Drove the girls home in very heavy traffic. A car caught fire on 285/Chamblee Tucker. The girls slept through it.

Checked the mail at my office.
