To Busy to blog?

Guess I really got out of the habit, since I had a half year lag between posts. Anyway, time to do a little repentance.

Today I trained two members of the duties of the Ward Web Admin and showed them the ropes on lds.org's admin interface. It is amazing sometimes how obvious the generation gap is between the old and the young. The younger admins take the technology for granted and it seems second nature to them per their experience, whereas the grandparent generation have a much harder time, and rely much more on precedural documentation.

We have some new neighbors we helped move in yesterday. They are moving down from Battleground, and their previous place was 6 acres. A city plot should be a little easier for them to handle. One of the boys looks to be about Matt's age, so that might be fun for Matt to have another friend so close.

We got a day of sun after nearly two months of rain and overcast skies. We took advantage of it and dug the holes for two peach trees, northern variety. We are going to see if we can't get some peaches to can, in addition to the apples, plums and two cherries we already have growing. I love fruit trees. They are somewhat easier to maintain than gardens, and keep giving year after year.

Kristi, my second oldest, in living at home now and working full time preparing to either go on a mission or perhaps go back to school. I think she is done with BYU Idaho, and might try BYU now that Grant and BriAnne are living there. Jobs are more plentiful and cost of living is lower than Idaho, according to Bri, so well see . . .

Somethin Fishy going on here

Here is a new flash game Matt turned me on to. So simple in concept, so difficult in execution. I have a new appreciation for wart, when he turned into a fish. It's not easy to survive level 5, and Matt has made level 7.
