Had a good weekend. We took the kids to the community parade and Schweizerfest. We weren't planning on doing rides becuase we are takin the kids to Holiday World in the near future, but our friends got some free ride tickets and shared them with us. We are blessed in so many ways! Thanks Darrin and Penny!

On the pool front...AAAARRRRRGH! I am still battling with the algae! I am on the right track though thanks to Pool Solutions website. This is the most common sense stuff I have seen about pools. The fact is that the chemicals you buy at the pool store are essentially bleach, baking soda and Borax.....I don't think the pool store will tell you that though...

Here are some interesting lyrics from Pedro the Lion...

Letter From A Concerned Follower

It's weird to think of all the things that have not been keeping up with the times. It's ten o' clock, the sun has now just begun to set the western hills on fire.

I hear that you don't change.
And how do you expect to keep up with the trends?
You won't survive the information age unless you plan to change the truth to accommodate the brilliance of men, the brilliance of men.

Some folks think we're better now.
Social evolutions new synthetic will will keep us on a straighter path,
'cause better men use brand new math with no wrong answers.
I'm just a little bit worried. Do you have some sort of plan?
Have you been finally defeated by the cunning of these fully evolved men?

I hear that you don't change.
And how do you expect to keep up with the trends?
You won't survive the information age unless you plan to change the truth to accomodate the brilliance of men, yeah , the brilliance of men.
