Fun Weekend!

The weather was great this weekend so we took advantage of it and camped out on the deck then played in the pool and relaxed on the deck. Anna had a blast camping out in the backyard. We told stories and ate chips, ice cream sandwiches, watermelon, and cherries.

Praise GOD for keeping us safe!

This morning while driving to work, with my daughter in the back seat, I was just heading out of our neighborhood when, as I approached the turn to the main street I take to the freeway, a big-rig truck came through the intersection from the opposite side turning onto the same road I was going to turn on. Apparently he was going to fast for the turn and the truck rolled onto it's side and slid to a stop across the turn lane I would have been in, in another few seconds.

My first thought, and words out of my mouth, was "Oh my GOD!". Then I quickly turned into the mini-mart lot on the corner, parked and jumped out to go see if the driver was ok. He was kicking his front window out as another guy who was standing in the lot ran over and started helping pull the front window off. The driver got out and quickly moved away from the truck. When he saw that the truck wasn't going to ignight, he started cussing and hitting the truck in disgust. He then got his stuff out of the cab.

Since the driver appeared to be ok, I got back in the car and continued off to work. I told my daughter it was lucky we weren't in the turn lane yet when that truck over-turned.

I was shaken abit as I thought how close it was. I told my daughter we should thank GOD that we were still safe.

Father Daughter Day

Anna and I spent the day together. We went to church in the morning and she helped me count the offering after church. Then we went down stairs and enjoyed the food and fellowship that the church puts out after church every Sunday.

We went to the park around the corner from the house and played when we got back home.

Anna climbed a tree (with some help)

then we headed home and Anna and mom made brownies. While the brownies baked Anna and I went to a big park downtown and fed the ducks and geese

then played at the huge play area for a while. Anna played hide and seek with another girl she met there.




It was a good Father Daughter day for the two of us.

We moved down the street to the park to see if we could get some better wind. The power lines are not as close as they appear in this video.
