aniversary #5

Ended up not taking a trip afterall. My daughter brought home 2 C's on her last report and we put her on punishment, which means we had to be around to enforce it. I took her TV/cable box from her room for a week, she can't go outside to play and has to keep her room clean. The room clean is a constant thorn, since as she puts it "I like my room messy"! Well, I pulled the tried but truism: "as long as you live with us........" But we still had a nice aniversary. We went to dinner and saw Madea's Family Reunion. It was a great movie. We went to a rather pricy, but elegant/quaint little restaurant in Midtown. I had sauteed catfish w/ crawfish in some kind of sauce that resemble mud, but it tasted great and I ate the 'whole thing'. The tab was 90 bucks, but my wife had two whiskey sours @12.95 a pop! I washed our new (new to us) Durango in the back yard on Saturday and it looked pretty good, inside and out, if I do say so myself. Of course, it rained Sunday afternoon, but hey, that's the way it goes.

We went to a new church Sunday morning and I don't believe I will go back. The preacher was good and delivered a good message, but the music and other stuff was just too loud. The video the services and I think they crank up the speakers so they will come across loudly enough on TV and radio, but it gave me and my daughter headaches... I am talking a headache it took a four beer lunch after church to ease!

I have found that the search for a good church you feel comfortable in and difficult. The one we found in SC took a while, but my wife did all the work there (she had a car and job back in those days). But, we will find something sooner or later.

Spring approachith and this is a good time of year in the south (midsouth really). I need to dust off my clubs and find a place to get some fishing bait!

Good day!
