What’s In Your Wallet?

I got a new one today. I got an email from my “credit card company” saying there were suspicious charges to my account. They even displayed the last 4 digits of my card number and had a number to call. I called the number on the back of my card to ask them their policy. [...]

Find of the Day

Our house was built in 1956 and we found out today that the wooden shelves in the closets are original. We are tearing them out to put in Closetmate (TM) and wouldn’t you know a bunch of old coins fell out from behind one of the boards that was nailed to the wall. Nothing dated [...]

Paver Pictures

The pavers are all done aside from finishing the step. I have never done coping/mortar/grout before and so I haven’t finished the step quite yet. It rained up a storm yesterday so there is some washed up sand on top of the pavers that I should have swept before taking these but this will give [...]

Thanks to the Highlands Church of Christ in Lakeland

Thanks to Randal Myers and the elders at the Highlands Church of Christ in Lakeland, Florida for letting me come and ramble to them for 40 minutes last night about the kingdom of God in Mark 4. I seem to have some kind of inverse curse from the days of Elijah - both Wednesday nights [...]

Have you Tried Blog Networks?

If you are on Facebook and you blog you should really try out Blog Networks. It is a great way to interact with others and find out what other blogs people with interests like your own are viewing. I just wish they had an RSS update and no update limit on the number of blog [...]

Baby News

Missy is in the 5th month of pregnancy and the baby has been moving around quite a bit lately. Yesterday I tried to see if I could feel them and sure enough I could! What an awesome experience to feel that little guy kicking around in there. Can’t wait to meet him. We think he [...]

Just wanted to say thanks. We passed over the 100,000 page view mark this month! I couldn’t do it without you. Well, I could but I would have to do an awful lot of clicking! Next month marks the two year anniversary of this blog. Thank you for all your thoughts, comments, emails, support, encouragement, [...]

Things I Learned from Paver Day

1 - Wear gloves
2 - Make sure 25 pound pavers don’t have hairline cracks when you pick them up. Pavers falling on your feet don’t feel so good.
3 - Use knee pads
4 - Call friends for help
5 - Use sunblock
Here are some pictures. I am about 33% done with the total square footage at this [...]

Paver Day!

Today is paver day. We have decided that if we had a more inviting backyard we might actually spend more time there. So I get to break my back and scratch up my knees and smash my fingers in order to make sure we spend more time out there. I cannot wait until this is [...]

It’s A Boy!

I wanted to give a pregnancy update. Missy is at 17 weeks into the pregnancy and we found out today that we will be having a boy! We are really excited about that one. My dad who has done genealogy for the last 30 years is really excited that the Dabbs name will continue on! [...]
