Did you all watch Flywheel and Facing the Giants already?  Don’t you just love the films that Sherwood Pictures puts out?  They are [...]

It Happened!

Okay… it happened.  We closed on a house with 28 acres.  The house is small, but it will work.  The barn is in good shape.  The land is beautiful!  It is fenced and cross-fenced.  It has three ponds and is a nice mix of woods and pasture.  We are excited to be moving out of [...]

Something Exciting is Supposed to Happen Today

I can’t tell you what it is.  Well, I could… but the way our plans have been changing so frequently I decided not to share the actual plan until it comes to pass.  We actually have two plans in the works and they should both come to fruition this week.
Okay.  I will give you [...]

Happy 14th Anniversary!

I know it has been a few days since I last posted… I guess this is a good day to break the silence. 
Today Katie and I have been married for 14 years!  I can’t believe it.  I can’t believe she has stayed married to me this long.  I am thinking back to all the [...]

You can access it from HERE until the domain names above are working correctly again.
In case you missed that, you can access the board from HERE.
 
So, the domain names aren’t working right [...]

The Greatest Wife on Earth, Part III

I thought I already had a part III… I guess not.  I can’t find it.
So, for those of you who didn’t know Katie’s maiden name – now you do.   Lucky you. And Lucky Katie – at least now she has a more normal name.   Bettendorf is a normal name, right?  More normal than webb anyway.  [...]

Nine Days Later

I know… I have been bad about posting lately!  Sorry Ginger.  I promised you I would still post daily after opening my board.  I lied.  I mean, I had the best intentions and all.  I will try to be better about posting.  It’s just… um. well…  that I have been addicted to my new board.  [...]

Have You Ever Seen a Purple Rabbit?

Way back in early 1996 I bought a Rabbit.  A Volkswagen Rabbit.  Not just any Volkswagen Rabbit.  A super-cool silver 1984 Volkswagen Rabbit.  With a diesel engine.  I like cars from the 80’s.  The 80’s had a lot of cool cars.  Like the Buick Grand National.  The Alfa Romeo GTV6.  The VW Rabbit/Golf.  The VW [...]
