60s in February!

I know this will probably be short lived, or we’ll pay for it dearly next winter, but I am LOVING these 60°+ days!

Notice no hair gel. It’s surprisingly strange to get used to, but makes getting ready for work a little bit faster. Although I do prefer it much more styled, so this will be short lived.

Local Sales Tax

I picked up some stuff at Walmart today and noticed on the receipt that our sales tax is now 5% instead of 7%. Nice.

Thumbs Up

I just got a thumbs up while riding across town, but I’m unsure if it’s because of the car or the Ron Paul decal.  Either way, I’ll take it!

Our Last Complete Family Photo, on Canvas!

by Shane Holden on January 9, 2012

Family photos are one of those things that everyone should always put more effort in on trying to make as many as possible, as often as possible. My family wasn’t the best at doing that, and sometimes they were last minute, but the ones that we do have, I just absolutely love.

What you see in the pictures below, is a canvas print of the last family photo I took before Mom passed away, courtesy of Easy Canvas Prints. It was taken on a Dad’s 60th birthday, on a complete whim.

This beauty is now hanging in a prominent place so that anyone that is over can see it. Everyone that’s seen it so far is amazed at the quality, and at how much nicer and unique it looks versus just framing a picture. The quality is unreal—the pictures don’t even do it justice. I had never seen a canvas print up close and in person, but this definitely won’t be my last one. And for someone that has a hard time with gifts, this is the perfect answer!

That’s Just Not Right

by Shane Holden on January 6, 2012

There’s a temporary all-way stop near the end of our street now, that’s turned into a really good place for those guys that walk up to every car with a bucket asking for money for who knows what kind of “charity.”

Today’s stop went something like this:

  • Chase: Sorry, don’t have any cash.
  • Man taking up money: In the name of Jesus! In the name of Jesus!
  • Chase: Sorry man, I don’t have any cash.
  • Man taking up money: Now that’s supposed to work! I’ll be prayin’ for you two!

Really? That’s supposed to work using Jesus to get people to give you money? That’s wrong if you ask me.
