Where's My Toolbox?

So! After watching all three hour-long gubernatorital debates I have come to the following conclusions:

1. Dick DeVos is a disgrace to the Forest Hills public school system.

2. He is a tool in the same league as those in the White House.

3. If he's elected governer, I'm moving to Canada.

Make sure you take your ass to vote on November 7, even if it is for a tool, at least you're supporting our democracy.

Jack-O-Lanterns

Well Nik, this is for you. I let the spirit of Halloween inspire me! Tonight I made Jack-O-Lanterns with Mom and Shannon & the kids and this is the end result. The lower right-hand corner is my Martha Sterwart pattern, and the others are just good old fashioned Halloween FUN!

Happy almost Halloween everyone!

In The Navy

So, last weekend I went with Mom and Dad to Chicago to watch Jesse graduate from Navy boot camp. Pretty incredible. If someone had asked me five years ago to name 3 things I never thought I'd see Jesse do in his life, joining the military would have been on the list. Guess that just goes to show you that even people you've known all your life can still surprise you.

He looked outstanding in his uniforms, and he seemed healthier and happier than I've seen him in a long time. I can tell he was tired, probably physically and emotionally exhausted from all the ass busting he had to go through, but he's a better man for it.

And now he knows how to iron his clothes!
