Time to play a little catch-up!

I've had a cold and felt like crap for the last few days.

September 11th was our hometown festival. Before we got all of the festivities under way the organizers held a brief, solemn memorial to remember what happened that day. When that was done, we got down to the business of Watermelon. My dad grew all of the watermelon for our festival (The U.S. Watermelon Speed Eating and Seed Spitting Championships), I cooked the pulled pork that the organizers sold as a fundraiser for next years festival (We started with 43 lbs of pork and sold it all), I emceed the seed spitting and speed eating events. My son Andrew and I won the parent/child spitting contest (my dad wanted to team up with me, but I didn't think the arrangement would qualify under the "spirit" of the rule!). We cleaned everything up and I was home before 6:00pm.

We have a very active School Support Foundation in town. They have spent the last few years raising funds to improve facilities at the school. They have built a new football field, resurfaced the track, build new baseball and softball fields, as well as new practice fields. Next up is a theater for the High School. Last night I took a call from a representative of the foundation informing us we were the days winner in the raffle drawing. My wife and I won two tickets to the December 26th Green Bay Packers - New York Giants football game at Lambeau Field and a $75 gas card. SWEET! Gosh I love da Packerss!

Tonight was the first night of adult Bible study down at church and by the time I got home I felt so lousy I couldn't go. If I don't go to Bible study, I have to be feeling mighty low.

Tomorrow night my oldest has a football game. Luckily it is at home, so not a lot of driving.

I am love love loving our TempurPedic bed.

I love driving our new van.

I am still as high as a kite about our finish at the BBQ contest we were in.

Other than that, not much happening.

Oh, I did have a great idea for a recipe that I am going to have to try. If I ever get around to doing it, I'll post about it here.
