Vacation, Day 3

Here are some pics from our third day on vacation in Florida.  Collin was feeling much better today, so we went to the beach.  We also got our crazy bread from Little Caesar's tonight.  It was good!

Vacation, Day 2

We had a good time today, despite the fact that the day started with me going to Walgreen's to pick up 2 antibiotic prescriptions for Collin because he has pink eye and a cold.  But we still got out and played a little.
First, Ian and I went to Applebee's with Grandma and Mrs. Bechtold.  Mrs. [...]

Sick on Vacation

Poor Collin got sick while we're here in Florida.  We went up to visit Grandma & Grandpa Johnson in Brooksville yesterday, and although Collin played shuffleboard, and rode the golf cart, he just didn't seem himself the whole day.  Well, we woke up this morning and COllin's eyes were crusted shut – a sure sign [...]

NCAA Picks

Wow.  George Mason beat Connecticut in the NCAA Tournament yesterday.  ONE GUY beats an entire state!  And not only one state, but 2 other states and a city (North Carolina, Michigan State, and Wichita State).  Pretty incredible, if you ask me.  This upset also served to completely obliterate everyone's brackets at the office.  There is only ONE [...]

Florida!!!

We made it to Florida today.  We're visiting Grandma & Grandpa Lehrian for the week.  Ian rode on the plane very well — he fell asleep right before takeoff and slept for about 2/3 of the flight.  He didn't scream at all and earned his first wings before he's even 6 months old!  Collin watched [...]

Biannual Trip to Corky’s

On our way out of Memphis yesterday, we stopped at Corky’s BBQ on Germantown Road.  If we hadn’t, it would have been the first time we’ve gone to Memphis for the Shelby HQ Conference and not gone to Corky’s.  I still think it’s the best BBQ I’ve ever had.  I’m partial to the pulled pork, but [...]

More Memphis Yummies

After a day of workshops, some of which were more useful than others, Shelby is taking us to Owen Brennan’s for dinner tonight.  So we get even more yummy Memphis-style food.  I can’t wait! 
We’re staying at the Memphis Hilton, which pretty much looks like a mirrored silo (check out the picture).  I’m staying on the [...]

Memphis Barbecue – Mmm…Good!

I’m in Memphis, TN now at a biannual conference for Denominational Headquarters version of Shelby Software.  Shelby is the software we use for financials and most of our database needs where I work.  Their headquarters is in Memphis, so that’s why I’m here now.  Four of us from the office are here, and I’m just [...]

Warm Weekend

We had unusually warm weather this weekend.  Our digital thermometer said that it got up to 67.6 at our house today.  And although it was overcast most of the day, it wasn’t raining, which afforded us a chance to venture outside for a while.  You can tell from some of the pics below that it [...]

Puzzle People

Renee was at Wal-Mart the other day, and decided she would buy a box full of 11 puzzles that was on clearance for $5 (Renee rarely buys anything that’s not on sale).  So, we’ve been passing the time lately doing puzzles.  We’ve finished 3 500-piece ones, and are now working on the 1,000-piece one.  I [...]
