The Ides of March arrives along with Spring!

Yay, it felt very spring-like today. The kids were playing on the swings, playing soccer and riding bikes. We had another big weekend. Friday night was a big birthday bash for Dave Ramsden's 50th birthday. I only got one picture of the old boy with red eyes but it will have to do. Notice his healthy birthday cake as he has a gripe about how unhealthy birthday cake is. We had a great time getting together with the group of former 1970's teens. LOL. It was just as much fun 30 years later, as it was then. It was encouraging to see the growth in their lives and realize that many of us still have the same goal. Uncle Milton Ramsden had a 75th birthday today, also. Beau wrestled yesterday at Regionals and placed 1st so will be heading to WWF Kids State tournament on March 26th. Dean and Kathy Ramsden had their annual rook tournament this weekend so we went down and spent last evening there when we were done with Saturday activities. Our day today was awesome with two meetings and just vegging the rest of the day. Neither Dale or I get to do that very much. This post was written on the 14th and never posted so it is a little old.

Pics from a quiet weekend.

We had our first quiet weekend in weeks and it really felt good. This weekend, Wisconsin Rapids won their 18th state high school wrestling title. We have no kids in the high school program right now, but winning state titles never gets old, so we took the kids out of school a little early on Friday and headed down to Madison. We had at room at a motel with a awesome swimming pool, so between matches, we relaxed by swimming at the pool. Later in the afternoon we shopped at Westtown mall and I am very happy to report that there is no recession in Madison. The mall looked like Christmas time and where I was trying on clothes, there was a line of 6 people waiting for a dressing room. We got home on Saturday evening and had wonderful fellowship yesterday. The rest of the day was spent just vegging and did it ever feel good! Oh yes, the picture of our dog, shows that this wussified dog knows how to stay warm on a cold morning. I found her laying as close to the heat as she could get when I went to clean up the mess left from starting the fire. :)

We just keep moving!

We have been very busy with our day to day activites, the boys wrestling season and moving our Stevens Point store, and with Dane going back to UWSP, we haven't had any extra time to work on the move. Dale and I have worked some long hours going over in the evenings after work to put stuff together. Tomorrow is our last big chance set set up the sales area. The final push on Friday evening is when we move all the computer equipment, and get it up running for Monday. In our free time LOL we have been watching our boys in their wrestling season. They have done well and Drew will probably be up for an award at the banquet in two weeks. I will post a short clip of one of his matches. I will be adding pictures to the slide show as our move progresses so check back often, as it will not be a new post but there will be addional pictures. Please excuse my lackluster posting, but after 10:30 pm there is not much steam left in me. I tried posting the video but it didn't post so will that another time.
