A few sights and sounds from the skate park Tuesday night.
As I Pray
Such a great Holy Week song.
Stay here and keep watch over me as I pray
My soul is overwhelmed, death becomes me
Watch and pray that you will not fall into temptation
The spirit is willing, but the body is weak, so weak
I fall to my face in the garden
Father keep me in Your presence
Don’t let me fall away
For my lack of understanding
Is impatient and demanding
And asking why this way
As I pray
My friend, do what you came here for
Then desert your faith
Pass me into the hands of sinners
With a kiss I am betrayed
I am betrayed, I am betrayed
Life is why I have to die today
Life’s why you won’t take this cup away, away
I’m strong, death can’t overwhelm me
As I pray
Life is why I have to die today
Life’s why you won’t take this cup away, away
But I’m strong, death can’t overwhelm me
As I pray
We are turning 30!
Morée’s birthday was February 11th and mine is March 3rd. So instead of making family and friends come to 3 parties in a short period of time(Lena’s birthday was in Feb also) we decided to have our 30th bday parties together. So this Sunday Feb 28th @ 5:30pm we’ll be having a party at my sisters house. The exciting news is that my cousins band Oriole Post will be playing at the party. Google search em they are worth it.
30
These online declarations of love become monotonous…but I interrupt the unscheduled blog hiatus for such a thing…
She is
She is a stay at home mother with unbelievable commitment to nurturing her children.
She is a gardener and tends to her plot of land.
She is a friend.
She is a first class cook.
She is an entrepreneur.
She is my “lover” that loves to sing no matter…what I think.
She is a hard working and dynamic sales woman.
She has an insatiable sense of humor and lightning quick wit.
She is a designer.
She is brilliant.
She is brutally honest and relentlessly forgiving.
She is not proud or self seeking.
She goes without for the sake of others.
She is full of compassion…specifically for dirty muts.
She is a follower of Jesus.
She is the beautiful 17 year old I fell in love with 13 years ago.
She is my everything and today February 11th she is 30.
The best is still to come. Celebrate her birthday with me by sending her a kind word.
Happy Birthday Morée
I Love You
BTW: Because its convenient for both our friends and us we’ll be having a combined birthday party in lue of two thirtieth bday bashes. Sunday Feb. 21st, 5pm @ The Twogoods. Consider this an invite.
Best Tomatoes
Heres a post from months ago I was too lazy to hit “publish”. 
This was a bad year for tomatoes at our house. I was generally so grossed out by the every fungus/blight/bug that I dont’ think I ate one that I enjoyed. Lately Morée slipped a few into various meals. Ends up they came from the rock bed on the side of the house. Yep. The best tomatoes we had all year are growing late summer early fall out of the rock on the north side of the house. When I say out of the rock I mean out of the rock. There is a very thick layer of roofing material on the ground instead of the usual weed block.
I would have more pictures of the garden since we are wrapping up the growing season but our camera has died. It lasted 7 years so I guess I can’t really complain.

Also Jet is an Indian now. No not for Halloween. He is 5/512 Osage Indian. You can card him. He is also 1/8 Hawaiian but we’ll just neglect that fact. Welcome to the tribe Jet if you ever need diabetic supplies you can get that for free.

Oriole Post
Oriole Post has an article in the pitch. Check it. Of course Bill Pollock (cousin) has some curious/humorous quotes.
“We just welcome them [the invitations] when they come, and luckily they come every month,” says drummer Bill Pollack…
But the band is taking the scenic route, veering down unmarked roads that lead to such places as the Middle Creek Theatre in Louisburg, Kansas.
“I call it Branson Lite,” says Pollack, an aficionado of vintage country music. “There are senior citizens who travel the country in RVs, and this is one of the places they go.”
Just a dude with a blog that probably shouldn't have one.
