Isn’t it ironic????

By on October 9, 2008 in oddities, Tico Says, ☢ rants

So I was discussing the Financial “bail out” with Jeffrey and he made me aware of this i guess … comical/distressing little fact about this bill that passed the Senate last week…

I find it  rather amazing  that during this time of crisis when everyone’s nerves are on edge , when people are losing their retirements , when AIG employees are having a jolly ole time using our tax dollars to buy a “nice quaint little get away pat in the back session”,oh and did i mention the Market is tanking, that we have our elected officials thinking about toys . Gee!!! i’m glad i wont have to pay more for Maeve’s toy arrows!!!

So much for going to bed early…

I  think we spent our week trying to “reeecooop” from spending the weekend with the Adams family . We had an awesome time just hanging with the bros and Grandma and Grandpa. I think some small person really liked all the special attention ,and it was cool cus she provided added entertainment.  We fished , and  traipsed through the undergrowth  and heard a guy try to lure the fish into his boat  with country music , and Bob lost  about a dozen hooks and bobbers ( there were many many underwater snags and such). We caught 3 fishes though  and they were readily devoured that evening. Needless to say , lots of fun was had by us . I do realize now though that I, at 29 years of age (this is David in case you didnt notice by all the extra spaces between words), am an OLD FART.   We stayed up late on friday , and i had the  chinese disease the rest of the week (Dragon”draggin” Butt ) .

On another note , Maeve had a major-ish spill on thursday  . She managed  to get two ugly scratches on her face and managed to chomp her tongue a bit . I guess she learned that little girls cant fly . Poor baby , on top of that she’s been  teething , so she is drooling constantly . I think she is  doing better now , the patch on her shirt is only 2 inches wide  instead of 4. Anyways  I will try to salvage some ZZZZZ’s  and  hit the hay now.

If you click on the little pictures  of Maeve on the sidebar you will get to a place that has the pictures you have been bugging me about .

Blessings

David and Tina , and Maeve

Speechless in Iowa

By on September 7, 2008 in family, Tico Says, us, work, ☢ rants

Har har… Yeah that’s what we’ve been lately. I have  to apologize on behalf of us for the drop off in communication, but  what can i say … Its the summer so give us a break. I bet none of you  read any blogs anyways  right ? You were probably having barbecue’s and coming home very late . So there !! I have managed to save some face . Oh and  the Olympics !! Cool more face saved!!

Life In the Iowa Dillers abode is moving along . I think its been a paradoxical slow and fast . There are days  when we’re like wow this day went on forever , and then we look at the calendar and August is almost over !!! ( well now it is , at least here in Iowa ) .  So much so , that the  other day i was at a restaurant  and saw  college football on the TV , and  was  like why would they be showing  Michigan  reruns  in Iowa , and then it hit  me …  College football started already !!!   Oh  well .

Our dear Maeve is growing in the manner of weeds . We  put her hair in little “pony” tails  for church today , and  she was  so cute!  She  keeps us busy , but i have to admit that its the busy I like .  KI (our biz) is moving forward  we seem to tread water the most here ( for me David) , since i feel like a lot of my faculties are spent on the Creamery , and then  coming home and working is a bit too much .

Creamery …  yeah there’s a post and a half of things you probably don’t want to hear .  Hey though here’s a prayer request , pray that my projects would be able to come about .  I’ll tell you about them later , but it will be so cool if they work .

OK I’m tired and i want  to go and watch a bleeping ,bleeepity bleep bleeep Ramsay’s kitchen night-bleep-mare-bleep-’s bleep.

If you didn’t get it …

sorry : )
