I was cleaning out a file cabinet, and came across this piece of paper: It’s directions to Kathi’s house. The first time I went to pick her up on a date, I assume. (Because I would have remembered the location after the first time)
Some of you might remember this location.. its where We had a pig roast and Chris and I had to carry the roaster into the back yard. 🙂
Anyway.. its nice coming across things like this, but it also indicates I keep way to much stuff.

I am so proud of Hannah. She is doing an excellent job in taekwondo. Last night she tested for, and achieved the Purple belt! She has really good form (when she wants to) and has a gift with kicking. She is really good with kicks.
Congratulations Hannah! your doing great!

Sorry i have not posted on a while.. I’m in the same boat as stephm right now.. no camera. and when I cant post pictures, Its weird posting. Would people really want to hear me drone on?
Anyway.. We had a bit of an adventure yesterday. I went on a field trip to the brick pond park in north Augusta. Its a wetland area near the river that the city uses as a natural runoff water cleaning process. Its really neat. For people from Chicago Area, They are planning for it to be a little like the “little red schoolhouse” in the forest preserve on the south side.
Hannah’s class was the first to go on a “nature walk” around it.

to see the path we took, and some pictures along the way. We walked from the school to the area. You might have to zoom in to the Google map that will show up. (“200ft” in the lower left corner seems to be good)
Also, if you just want to see the pictures, click “slide show” in the upper left corner.
Sorta cool, huh? I hope it works out for them.. its a great Idea!
