So, I'm back baby! I know I am a terrible so called 'blogger' but I save up for the juicy news...or at least I'm going with that. To be honest, not too much has happened in the past few weeks.
I'll start with the obvious and the old-school...my house. The wifey and I finally mustered the strength to go to a nursery and buy some small 'shrubbery' (feel free to scream if you get the pun from Monte Python) and 1.5 yards of mulch for our new retaining wall. See attached photos of same, plus the puppy asleep on his new bed...Poland Spring water bottles. I think the front of the casa finally looks like it has 'curb appeal'. The next project is replacing the wood around my two garage doors and freshly painting the wood and my window panels.
The week before we also hit up New Hope, PA, for the wifey's brother's wife's baby shower. Yes, I thought a few times about admitting that on here, but there were also about six other "can we call ourselves guys now" there. It seems there are a lot of expecting mothers surrounding me in my circle of trust these days...thus far I am managing to dodge that train. I can always fall back on the fact that I attended the shower for the outstanding cake and food...it was amazing food.
A cool side note police-related story. Last week I investigated a nice domestic 'incident' at one of our rest areas. It started as follows: we get a call that there is a female bleeding from her head with no shoes in one of the rest areas. I respond alone and search the rest area, and find the 'victim' by the phones. She has a gold ball-sized lump on her left eye and a softball-sized lump on her left cheek. The basic story is that she and a man friend got into a verbal argument, and he tried to flee the scene in her car. She attempted to hold on to the drivers-side opened door until he shoved her from the car...causing her to fall and receive the above injuries. She could have gotten really hurt if her head didn't soften the blow, hahaha. He leaves the State, but later returns to get charged. Allegedly, she started the beatings within the car while it was moving, and she got charged too. The couple in the car have a child together, and the same male and his fiance (a separate woman) have a child together, and the whole argument started over jealously of the second relationship...D.R.A.MA.!!
I am going to finalize this blog, and get ready for work. To my brother: the photos and the stories are always great, and I am glad to hear that you feel like a soldier again. I cannot put myself in your shoes, but I think I know how you feel. Be safe as always, and send more 'heeled shoes' shots...the old ones are starting to bore me over here. Laters...
