I wish that all our plans turned out as nice. Kim and Lilly made mini-quiches, the mickey mouse pancakes were a hit, and no one got hurt rock-climbing at the Y! Sadie and her 3 friends had a blast. We saved the cake and ice cream until after the climbing, but they [...]

ew, the garden really stinks

May 31st, 2008 · No Comments

Kim said those words at least 3 times in 3 minutes tonight.
She was right, I suppose. After all, I spread about 1/2 ton of compost from the sewage treatment facility into our garden, and another in the the neighbor’s yard today.
So basically, I shoveled a ton of poop today!
Kim closed all the windows as [...]

May 30th, 2008 · No Comments

My little girl is turning 7! It’s hard to believe how quickly time passes.
For her birthday celebration, we’re having a few of her classmates over for mickey mouse-shaped pancakes, mini-quiches, and a trip to the YMCA for an evening of rock climbing! That’s my girl!
This evening as we were waiting for supper, Sadie kept [...]

a make-up day off

May 29th, 2008 · No Comments

For years, my day off has been Monday. There are some short-comings for a day off being Monday, especially when the kids are all in school. Another not-so-obvious bummer is the fact that many holidays are observed on Mondays. That means my day of is a holiday. I’ve always been told [...]

we’re gettin’ a garden

May 28th, 2008 · No Comments

Yep, we figured it was about time to do our part to help the environment. It’s all part of the Sublett plan to go off the grid, go green, go back to our roots…
Kim’s family always had a big garden. Her dad has a Ph.D. in horticulture, so it stands to reason. [...]

memorial day wrap up

May 27th, 2008 · No Comments

The Sublett fam had a good one–did you?
It started with an early morning run–the Boalsburg Memorial Day Run. I ran the Boalsburg Memorial Day Run in 2000. It was my first race, and I finished in 26:01–35th place overall. I had been running for a couple of weeks! Fast forward to [...]

does God care about baseball?

May 23rd, 2008 · No Comments

Surely God has more important things to do than monitor the MLB standings. But there has to be some divine intervention for the Pirates and the Yankees to have the same won/loss record. In any other year, that would mean that the Pirates are playing way above their heads. But this year [...]

back from WIBO

May 23rd, 2008 · 2 Comments

WIBO, or the Whiteboard Sessions…a one day conference, with 8 top church leaders, each given 30 minutes to share. All the presenters were good. Perry Noble was the one that I enjoyed the most, probably because I listen to him every week (podcast) and like his style of communication.
But the highlight for me [...]
