Another Birthday

Today is Dwight's Birthday. We celebrated early (on Sunday) so that family could be with us. As per Dwight's custom, he prefers a pie, rather than a Birthday Cake. So this year it was Butterscotch Meringue pie. The grandkids brought him a personal Apple Pie (another of his favorites) and that was a better choice for putting in a candle! The meringue on the other pie was too soft to hold a candle :(

Another Work Week in the Books

It was cloudy, rainy and cool most of the day, but the sun made its appearance this afternoon to end our work week on a bright note. Most of the MMS Aviation team focused on Gospel Carrier International's King Air inspection this week. You can check out details on the MMS Blog.

Before locking the hangars and heading home, the facility was cleaned and prepared for another round next week. Now, it's time to go home and cheerfully tackle the "honey do" list there.

After the Jarboe get-together in Lexington Saturday, Rena and I went to Mom and Dad's in Bowling Green for the rest of the weekend. On Monday we drove back to Coshocton. It was a beautiful day, but with quite a strong wind blowing. Fortunately, the wind was out of the south-west, which gave us a tailwind that really helped our gas mileage.


We stopped for lunch in LaGrange, Kentucky for lunch. At a bank next to the restaurant sat a service truck for Jarboe's Plumbing, Heating and Cooling. We thought it a fitting footnote to our reunion trip.

As far as I know, the LaGrange Jarboes aren't related to us. One would have to go back many generations to find a common ancestor. However, it is interesting to see our family name printed that large on the side of a truck.

Jarboe Reunion

Today we drove to Lexington, Ky today for a Jarboe reunion. Dwight enjoyed seeing many of his cousins and siblings.

Grandparent's Day

Today (and yesterday) was Grandparent's Day at Warsaw School. We enjoyed lunch with the grandkids and visited their classrooms, spent time at the book fair and watched them play at recess.

Jen had a Birthday

Recently our daughter, Jen, celebrated her Birthday. Here are some highlights from last night.

Jen's special request was for her brother to make fried cheesecake. (Can only eat that once a year)!
