Working too hard

Seems like the last photo of Mara and Ellen was a popular one, so I thought I'd post another. They're both in the rocking chair this time. Somehow Stacey performed a miracle and got them both to sit still for a little while. There's more good photos in the same setting, but I thought y'all would get a good chuckle out of this one.

Another photo I thought would get a laugh or two is this one of Dad and Stacey. Dad is fresh out of the field the weekend Mom watched the kids while Stacey headed for Dallas. Pretty funny. Nice hair dad!

I'm a bachelor this week with a "honey-do" list longer than my, well, it's long. Paint the upstairs walls, cut new trim, paint said trim, remove door to basement, hang new door, paint said door and frame, do trim work for new door. Ugh. Ran out of paint last night. I thought Menards was open later than it was. Dammit. I thought, oh well, I'll sit down and watch the Patriots and Bills game. That game was over 10 minutes into the 1st quarter.

Headed to Des Moines for the Thanksgiving feast. Looking forward to a few days off. 8th annual (2nd for me) Turkey day MTB ride in Des Moines on Thursday morning too. Looking forward to that.
