This weekend was full of exercise, manual labor and darn good times. Friday night we had a church party… in which folks were supposed to dress up as if they were in the 50’s. The 1950’s that is. I don’t participate in dressing as if I wish I were in the bygone era, but I did go and I did enjoy the fellowship and some ice cream with strawberries that were beat together in a fashion that resembled a Milk Shake.

Saturday we went for a long 4 mile walk. Long for me that is. I walk up and down my stairs most days so 4 miles just happened to excede my normal exercise quota. Then, in a twist that no one could predict, I was walking more in the evening with my dad when we happened upon our friends the Andersons and they happened to show us an Ice Cream maker that came with both a hand crank and a motor. In yet a more bizaare twist: I asked them to pick me up one at the warehouse club that they belong to (which I refuse to pay a yearly membership to) so that I now own one. Yummy. Our first ice cream experience with it will come shortly.

Sunday we went to church. Yeah, you knew that was coming. But after church the Kaes came over and we ate lunch and then painted the front room. In the eveninge Andersons came over with said Ice Cream Maker and so Sunday evening we made Chocolate Chip and Reese’s Peanut Butter Ice Cream. The price of the Ice Cream Maker will be made up very quickly with the quality of the hand cranked Ice Cream we created. I don’t know that we’ll use the motor because it’s just not needed. We then watched Finding Never Land. This is a darn great movie, but you’ll have to watch it to form your own review, it’s good – so I won’t review it to warn you not to watch it. Again, watch it, you will be pleased that you did, most likely. Unless you are not. No. I will not refund you the rental fee if you don’t like it. Yes. It does have Kate Winslet in it. No. She does not drown in this movie either.

Today I got up early and set out to Castle Rock, CO with my brethren in Christ, Laban Matthews’ brother’s house. Josiah Matthews has desided that it would be good to re-shingle his roof and re-side his house this week. By himself primarly. Seeing as how I am an able body man who’s a glutton for punishment I volunteered to help. It was actually quite fun and I enjoyed using the various roofing tools. Of course just before I left it started to rain. We had just finished ripping off the shingles on one quarter of the roof 🙂 God has a good sense of humor.

Also, I have finally gotten my ‘recording studio’ computer set up so look for a more refined “Pordcast” soon.
