It Was Quite The Week

The week before the flood was great, it was quite the week.
 
My wife had just returned from a short trip to Boston visiting her sister and brought home a few goodies, one of which was this mug. I guess she knows me well....and what the coffee does to me.

My father also showed up again, usually only visits a few times a year so this was a bit of a surprise, this time he brought with him three boxes of trade bait. Neither of us knowing its contents, those are the fun boxes, so we pulled off a trade pretty quickly.


From first glance, it appears this would be a good time.

I will post any highlights of it later on along with the first round he dropped off. Haven't had time to dig through it, that's because starting the following day I had my first vacation in five years. A much-needed retrieve away after the luck I have had this year. 

My sister-in-law came to visit and had rented a camp by a lake for five days. The camp is only about twenty minutes from my house, but it was still nice to get away.

And I had this view every morning with my coffee.


The camp week ended with small rain shower and God's promise.

It was a fun relaxing five days filled with good eats, wiffle ball games, sitting by the water (I don't swim as I have waterphobia), no chores, and plenty of coffee.

I couldn't have asked for anything better.

Also, during that time, I had my first article published on @CheckOutMyCards blog.

(I have submitted three to them so far in my spare time instead of blogging)

And another new one on BCW Supplies blog as well,

If you have time to check them out, please do! I hope to continue submitting articles everywhere. If you have any leads on other places accepting articles, please let me know!

As I said, it was quite the week, which is what made it hard to come home and have a flood hit. The bright side was, I was safe at home and not at the camp. Not sure how hard that area got hit.

I plan to share more card posts on here soon as I feel I have gotten away from that recently, but I do have lots to share. I hope everyone had a great weekend and before I forget, I will be changing my Hotmail address to a Gmail address soon for contact. I will be sure to let everyone know who usually emails me. I am really sick of the spam emails and possible hacking that comes along with having Hotmail.

I am heading to bed, but need to make sure the coffee is ready for my morning wake up call first.

  5. Great variety in this blog post. There should be something that anyone would like to read about. I looked at your published entries. Great stuff very well written. I agree with the mug, sometimes.
