Great Dell Family Day and New Visitors Coming...

The Dell Family Day turned out great. The weather was fabulous and there were lots of Dell families there to enjoy all the fun. There were carnival type games, three different types of blow-up jumping things, great food, tattoos, Bingo, cotton candy, a Magician and many other things I cannot remember. And, if anyone got bored with all that, there was the lake to swim and dive in. Pam did a great job of pulling it all together, even after being sick with the flu and out of work for the two weeks before the big event.

She had a very hard time getting Dell employees to volunteer to help out for the event. But, Pam's daughter Jaz and her husband Brad flew in from the SF Bay area to help and they did a great job. Jaz did tattoos for a while and then took over the Bingo calling. Brad spent the whole day doing tattoos. The tattoo booth was busy the whole day long with many folks getting them everywhere they could. I also helped with all the work that needed to be done to make it a great event.

Before the big event, we took Brad and Jaz out to eat at the new Canyon Crest restaurant with their great canyon views and afterward the event took them to Johnny Carinos. Both were great places to eat and we had big fun during their very short weekend visit.

I ended up playing pool this Wednesday - the first time in three weeks. I was rusty and didn't do very well and was home by 8:30. I will have better luck next time...

We are expecting new visitors this Sunday. Nephew Michael and his wife Susan are flying in for a few days before they go to Montana to visit Susan's family. This will be their first time here and we are planning on catching a few big ones and showing them all the attractions here in Twin Falls. It will be great seeing them. They adopted two children in the past few years and have been pretty tied down enjoying their new family life.

I also wanted to say that the email I sent out of the news cast featuring me as a new darkhorse presidential candidate was a hoax. I know it looked real and all, but it was just an Internet funny. It was sent to me by Mike Miller in Kalifornia and I sent it out, getting a lot of feedback about whether or not it was real...

Well, I am still recovering from the ravages of the flu and upgrading computers and building my needle inventory. I also finally fixed the outdoor fountain after many unsuccessful attempts. I just couldn't find the right repair materials until this last time, I hope.

I must go now, as I have a lot of campaign stops to make before the weekend here in DaHo...
