Mandy and I are so fortunate to have such great friends. Periodically, when we're at a birthday party, wedding, or just hanging out, we post photos and stories here.

Comment Spam.
Jayber just got hit with about a thousand pieces of comment spam. While dealing with that, I accidentally deleted the 10 most-recent comments on the site. Sorry.

Matt and Chloe.
Last weekend, Mandy and I had the pasta of our dreams at Broder’s Pasta Bar near 50th and France with our friends Matt and Chloe.
Broder’s is this kind of small, quaint place that’s usually full. Oh yeah, and it’s got some colander light fixtures too, which kind of weirded me out.

Small Group Season Finale.
Tonight, we had our last Small Group before the summer break. We ate some food at Applebees and John and Corrie had a sort of hot apple crisp and ice cream dessert that was sizziling as it was served. Good times as always.

The Virgin. Last night, Esther had her spring violin recital at the McPhail Center For Music in Minneapolis. The recital was for students of Mary West and the level of skill displayed was astonishing. Kids from 3rd or 4th grade, on up through high-school seniors played things that didn’t seem natural. I was very impressed, and it’s been a long time since I’ve listened to music with that high of quality. Esther did a wonderful job, although she said afterwards that she was nervous about the fact that she wasn’t playing her own violin (it’s getting repaired), and instead, was playing May West’s.≡ 5 May 2005

Camp Lebanon Spring Cleanup. Last Saturday, a group of 30-40 of us from First Baptist went to Camp Lebanon to split wood, rake leaves, clean fire pits, and clear out some thick marshy areas. Unfortunately, I didn’t bring my camera, so there aren’t any pictures to show.≡ 3 May 2005

The Sheldon’s Are Back. Our friends Steve and Nicole Sheldon are back from their around-the-world trip and are staying with us for a few months. We’re so excited to have them back. They returned on Thursday, April 7th. The next day (Friday), to welcome them back, we threw a BBQ at our house. Here’s some pictures from the BBQ and a couple additional pictures from last night when Steve made us some cooked vegatables in oyster sauce—Thai style. Quite tasty.≡ 13 Apr 2005

No Kaka Please. Today, I went to lunch with two co-workers. On our way there, we had to pick up a car in the Designer’s Guild parking ramp in Minneapolis’ Warehouse District. While we were walking up the stairwell of the ramp, we came across a garbage can with this sign posted on it.≡ 8 Apr 2005
