Saturday Video: The Next US President according to The Little Man


We want you to know that we did not prime him for his answer, and nor does his answer necessarily reflect the voting wishes of his parents.

But question for you: Is The Little Man Correct?

Tell us you know more than a 4 year old.

He's not really my uncle, is he?

About a week ago, The Little Man saw a billboard with Uncle Sam on it. He asked who he was. I told him it was Uncle Sam, and spoke a little about him.

So, after a week, The Little Man and I were having what they now call "Daddy and Dude Time". And he speaks up out of the Blue:
The Little Man: You know about Uncle Sam. He's not really my Uncle, is he?
Me: You are right, Little Man, He's not really your uncle.
The Little Man: And he doesn't really want me, does he?
Me: I guess not. Well, except that he apparently he wants you to join the army.
The Little Man: Well, I don't want to join the army. I don't like the army.
Me: Oh, why not?
The Little Man: Cause they are knights in shining army.
I wish I had a tape recorder.

Vacation...

This pic is here just in case anyone has been wondering if we've been relaxing...

So far...
  • After our time in Wenatchee with the Groffs, we joined the believers at Church at Christ The Redeemer Church in Spokane on Sunday. This is the church that we are serving at their family camp coming up in a week.
  • We have reunited with our friends the Hughes', which has been fun. Our kids love their kids (and lots of them there are.)
  • And our good friend Em-mma Collett has as joined us in a Lake House by Hayden Lake in Idado. Emma is The Little Lady's God-mum.
More Pics on Facebook.

Idado

We are on vacation for a few weeks: We are going to our own Private Idaho.

Check into the Blog, though. I'm hoping to do a few fun summer-type Blog posts. And I'll be reading and commenting on the BCP. And E.B. Reames Art on Friday has already been scheduled.

Might even try to get Dr Laurel to post...

One for the Dad-Engineers...Solution



I know that this will appeal to so few. But those few are very important to me! Here is how I fixed up the old track!

One for the Dad-Engineers...

The Solution:

The Problem:
I've posted some other tracks.

But this one is for the Dad-Engineers. Click on the picture to see it enlarged. OK...
  • What is wrong with this track?
  • Why?
  • What would you change?
Make reference to the letters if it helps.

I subsequently made some adjustments to make it another 'perfect track', and will post that in a few days...

E.B. Reames: Art on Friday (#1)


Beth Reames is an accomplished artist. She also happens to be Dr. Laurel's mom. So we like her anyway. But her art is wonderful. We have some of her works brightening up our living room. Our friend Mike Winram bought several pieces for his offices in Sydney. People regularly comment about the beauty of the paintings.

So I've decided to make Friday 'E.B Reames Friday'. Each Friday, I will post one of her works for your enjoyment.

This painting is called: "Living on the Edge".

Should you wish to compliment, then please do so by either posting a comment, or by emailing her. She sells her art, of course. So feel free to visit her website or contact her if you wish to buy.

Email Beth: HERE.
