Hopefully I can get a bit better about posting more frequently......
John picked up a little stomach bug, so we kept him home Friday and yesterday. Dad stayed with him Friday - John seemed to enjoy that. We were planning on taking him to the sitter's yesterday, but he threw up Sunday and yesterday morning, so I stayed home with him. He was a poor little soul - very mopey and tired. Sharon did come home a bit early, which allowed me to get out and work on the goat house a little bit. I was trying to get a few things done before bad weather: reinforce the roof structure (done), finish shingling (not done), painting (not done), and building a hay feeder on the front (mostly done).
It's a busy week at work (especially since I missed a day). I have a 3-hour presentation to attend tomorrow at Gander Mountain, and meetings / site visits all day Thursday and Friday. Today, I have to prepare our monthly submittal to the Greenbrier. I'm also working on some smaller projects right now: a basement "finish-out" in Roanoke county (we're designing a recording studio in that one), and a music studio / office building addition to the "What About Bob" house on Smith Mountain Lake. Pretty cool, huh?
Finally, I have one rant. I think it's great that people are excited about elections and fully believe you should show support, but THE ELECTION IS OVER. That means that the signs can come OUT OF YOUR YARD. I fully believe that there should be some local ordinance to remove political signs so many days after the election. To me, the people who still post signs of the winner are gloating, and those whos still post signs of the loser are sore. I play no favorites either way - they need to go. Especially when they start blowing away and litter other people's yards, the streets, etc. Play the good environmentalist and take them to be recycled. Thank you, and good day.

Jared and I are totally gloating. Our Obama sign is still up. I'm still so giddy about the election that I don't want to take it down! : )
But I do see your point.
I'll probably never take my bumper sticker off my car... I'm not being gloaty... Right?
When can I see a picture of your little chicken from Halloween???
See! My observations are correct ;)
Amanda - I guess I don't feel as strongly about bumper stickers, although, it does drive me nuts to still see people with John Kerry stickers on their car. I emailed you a news clip from the football game where John was dressed like a chicken - we were on TV :) I'll try to post a picture when I can.
Just after you posted this, someone STOLE one of our signs!!! Jared took the other down just in case. (Yes, we bought two).
Did you do it, JB? hmmmm? ; )
Mwuuuuhahahahaha.....
Nope, it wasn't me. I don't like it, but I don't resort to theft :)
At least, not yet ;)
