Friday

This week has gone by quickly. I continue to putter around the house. My list is shorter but keeps getting additional items. I managed to restore and repaint the bathroom door. I plan to do each interior door as I have time. I am really enjoying the carriage house. Besides being a good storage facility, I have created a workshop (aka “Man Cave”).

 

Monday Jerod and I went fishing at lock #7 on the Kentucky River near High Bridge. We caught several fish and enjoyed the time there. It is convenient, so we will probably go again soon. Madison is visiting with us until next Tuesday. She seems to be having a good time and we are enjoying her. Wednesday was our first swim meet this year. The Crockett kids are all swimming on the Equestrian Woods swim team. They all did well and are improving every week. Thursday afternoon, Jerod and I worked on a desk and shelving we are going to build in a closet in his room. He is good help and we should be finished sometime next week.

Tomorrow, Ann, Tanya and I are participating in the R.J. Corman 4th if July 5K. There is a concert that evening we will probably attend. I continue to run and ride my bike. I now ride to High Bridge and back on a regular basis. It it is a nice ride and a good workout.

Six-Word Memoirs

I just finished reading Not Quite What I Was Planning. The book is a collection of six-word memoirs. It originated from a project by on-line magazine SMITH that solicited submission of peoples’ life memoir stated in six words. I first heard about the book in a sermon by Jon Weese at Southland Christian Church. You can hear the sermon here. Here are a few examples from the book:

Seventy years, few tears, hairy ears.

Born in the desert. Still thirsty.

Macular degeneration. Didn’t see that coming.

Kentucky trash heap yields unexpected flower.

Thought long and hard. Got migraine.

I’ve been thinking about my own memoir. Here is what I came up with:

I knew. I know I didn’t.

How about yours?
