- My "Small Engines I" 4-H project. Taking that small Briggs & Stratton engine apart, identifying, and labeling all those parts helped me figure out why the mower stopped running. (That project went to State, btw...and I never did the "Small Engines II" where you put the motor back together.)
- Fresh apples and everything Alison is doing with them. Mmmmmm.
- Paintballing...in the woods.
- NBA Live 2009 All-Play for our Wii. It gets me pysched up for the basketball season AND helps me veg-down before beddy-bye.
- When JT says "What?" with a rapidly increasing pitch and an equally rapidly increasing grin. Thanks to Nicole for reminding me how much the little guy's predictable blurts bring me joy.
- The Planets by Gustov Holst. If you don't know what I'm talking about, just know it's a music thing. After the Trivia Night I listened to The Planets all week. Mars--The Bringer of War, Jupiter--The Bringer of Jolity, & Mercury--The Winged Messenger are my favorite movements.
- Smores. Graham crackers, roasted-just-to-flame marshmallows, solid chocolate. Whomever did this first should get profit-shares from all sales of Hershey's, Jett-Puff, & Honey Maid June through October.
Praise God from whom all blessings flow!

So, did you ever get a Superior ribbon at the State Fair?!?! We can count up and see who got more of them! :-)
ReplyDeleteoh my gush Brad, you've just become a regular blogger. how in the world did this happen?
ReplyDeleteJulie, I honestly don't remember how many of what kind of ribbons I got at the State Fair. I think I might have got a Super Cool and Terrific ribbon for my Pigmy Goat Calling While Weaving a Basket out of Butter project. What was your forte back in the day?
