Wild Kingdom at Irish Acres

New Faucet in the Kitchen

Yesterday Makita installed a new kitchen faucet at Irish Acres.  There was some cussing and a couple times he hit his head.  At one point he was called out to an auto accident, so everything came to a screeching halt.  He had to stop once to go buy a longer water connection hose.  All that being said, it was a normal project for him. But it works like a champ.  No more dripping.

Ta-Da

After over a year of laying outside the canoes finally have a home in the garage.  Saturday my dad came out and put up 16 feet of florescent lights (that made a HUGE difference) and then Sunday he came out and put together the canoe lift station.  It cranks up and down to lower/raise the canoes.  Very handy and they are totally out of the way.

Redneck Spike

I might be looking for a new hobby.  Boredom causes chaos.

Kiehra's First Band Concert

This past Monday night was Forestview Middle School 6th Grade Band Concert.  Grandaughter Kiehra did a great job!

Flutes are front and center.  Kiehra is right up there in front of the band leader.

Nikki Heads off to AIT

My Niece Nikki is leaving tomorrow to head to Fort Jackson in Columbia South Carolina to do her AIT (Advanced Individual Training) for her MOS (Military Occupation Specialties).  Nikki will be gone about 7 weeks.  Her MOS will be Chaplain Assistant.

She couldn't leave without a "last supper". 

Here she is last night enjoying hot wings and a really big ice cream dessert.  Good luck with your PT Nikki :)

Box Seats at the Jobing.com Arena

While in Arizona we went to a Coyotes vs. Bruins NHL game at the Jobing.com arena in Glendale.  We had box seats and it was awesome.  The Coyotes lost in overtime to the 2011 Champions from Boston.

They may have served a few cocktails there..........

Makita Rides on Christmas

 Christmas day and the following day, Makita was lucky enough to ride motorcycle with his cousin Bryan in Arizona.  It was a beautiful day (most all are there) for a ride.
