success Diary Entry For August 24, 2008
On Saturday, we took Grandma Linda and her new friend, George, on a boat ride. We haven't seen Grandma Linda much since she and George started hanging out together which has been a little bit difficult on the family. It's just so hard watching the little ones grow up and start going out on their own!
On Tuesday night, we celebrated Miss Sheri's birthday by doing something really wild and crazy like taking Sunny for a walk to the dog park! While we were there, we stood and watched this telephone pole for quite awhile. It has a recently installed "Squirrel Guard" which prevents the little critters from climbing up the pole and getting electrocuted. We tried really hard to attract one over so we could test it out, but we had no luck. Our squirrel calls just weren't working.
On Friday night, the Nor-Tech gang got together for our 2008 Fantasy Football Draft. I'm pretty pleased with my team this year after drafting Brian Westbrook, Larry Johnson, Donovan McNabb, Roddy White, and Bernard Berrian among others. I'm thinking the Fantasy Championship is well within my sights! Are you ready for some Football?
Famed Shortarmguy stalker, Steve "Cuds" Cuddihy, and his lovely wife, Melissa, were our hosts for the evening. Steve has been our Fantasy Commissioner for the past few years and really knows how to run a league! I'd be proud to let this man fulfill my fantasies any time!
On Saturday, the Shortarmguy Family loaded up and headed to the Minnesota State Fair for the Great Minnesota Get Together! We didn't bring Homer with us, but bumped into him while we there.
I love the state fair! Where else can you watch a dog being neutered while eating chocolate covered bacon on a stick?
Luke really loved the Butterfly House. He tried to get even more to stick to the front of his shirt, but they soon all started flapping their wings at the same time causing him to lift up in the air a little, so he stopped.
Avery was more than willing to go up in the air a little after being strapped to a bungee cord hovering above a trampoline. Ahhhhh, the things we do for fun!
The boys really enjoyed going to the animal barns where we saw horses, cows, and even a baby sheep being born! It was pretty neat watching their cute little expressions as they witnessed the miracle of birth and then getting to see the Mama sheep eating the leftover placenta when she was done. It was just so sweet!
I gotta get me one of these.
We thought this picture would be really funny until shortly afterwards when I spilled this cheesy steak sandwich all over my nice, white shorts. It was really fun walking around the fair for the rest of the day with bright orange splotches all over my crotch.
All in all, it was a good day at the fair. Have a great week!!

Nice Emails of the Week
Dear SAG: You probably don't remember, but I wrote you
two years ago about my really lousy diagnosis. I had to have a
bilateral mastectomy, (my 38 Double D-s were reduced to
36B-Flats...:) and the maximum chemo and radiation. Had any number of
problems, falling white count, radiation burn, lost 30 lbs (doc made me
gain it back, what a drag. hahah. NOT) and all in 6-7 months. But I am
NOT complaining, since I am ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!
Any time I start to feel sorry for myself, I got to your web site. I see how you have coped all your life, and what a wonderful family you have, and I STOP feeling sorry for myself, and look at my wonderful family, and absolutely devoted spouse (over 52 years now) and I know I am truly blessed, as are you.
SO...keep it coming. I may not respond to your emails
very often, but I read every last page, when I can hold up to get
online.
Just know that somewhere in Florida there is a 76+ y/o gal who thinks you are TOPS. :) Now, did that make your day. Ha ha. Just kidding...just kidding. Hug your beautiful boys for me. Tell them it is from a little old lady who has NO grandsons...only 5 granddaughters. :) With much affection KT PS...one of the major side effects of all my treatment is short-term memory loss. Sometime tomorrow I will remember you first name. (Blush)
Quote of the Week "Nothing is more expensive than a missed opportunity."
-- H. Jackson Brown, Author Jokes of the Week A young boy
comes down for breakfast. Since they live on a farm, his mother asks if he
has done his chores.
