My daughter who is in the Coast Guard is going to have a baby! She and her husband will make great parents. They both love kids and have been the kind of aunt and uncle that every kid dreams about. They have waited a long time for the right time to have children and it has finally come that time. Congratulations to all of us.
Isn't bringing a new life in to the world a miracle? But we take it for granted because every day it happens. For the couple that has the new addition the miracle is very real. The understanding that nothing will ever be the same hangs like a gorilla on a piece of twine. What if I can't do it? What if I screw my kid up? You probably will, but aren't we all a little screwey? I know people who should never have had children and those who would have made great parents who weren't able. But one thing I do know. Children need both a father and a mother. Giving children parents who love and respect each other is THE greatest gift parents can give a child. Fathers should never be underestimated. They are every bit as important as mothers even though our society says they aren't. Dads, thank you for being there for your children.

Been a while
I have been remiss in keeping my blog updated. I have just forgotten to make it a priority. I have had the home show which took up much time (and was a wonderful success) and after that I have had lots of work so I have been trying to stay on top of everything.
The front entrance at the show turned out great. We used grass which was a new component that hadn't been used before and it gave us a backdrop to feature some yard art. The seminar was a blast. My friend helped me put together a powerpoint presentation and I even shocked myself how I gave the presentation without any notes. I just knew what I wanted to point out and it flowed perfectly. A little favor from God I suspect.
On a very personal note, my daughter who is in the Coast Guard is pregnant! She is out on the Pacific ocean somewhere and I am a little concerned about her morning sickness and sea sickness together. Ugh! Her Company Commander doesn't think it is necessary for her to leave the boat at this time. I am also concerned about her work load and being on her feet for 10 hour shifts. She and her husband haven't seen each other since she found out the news. Don't take freedom for granted. Many someones are paying a high price for it.
The drought is broken in our area! Yeah!!! We have had much life giving rain this late winter and it is going to be a good growing year.
I have begun designing for a large landscaping company here in town and I think it will be beneficial for both of us. I have started in the spring rush and it is good to be working so hard.
Our condo hasn't sold yet and our renters are not living up to their contract to pay until it is sold so we have two mortgages. No extras for us for a while, actually since the first of January. Be glad when something happens.
I will try not to be so long in between blogs. Bye now
