Summation, prior to it being over, making it an improper summation.
written by Julie R. Neidlinger 4 comments link this postMy brother's visit is mid-visit. Lots of great conversations, moments, and more these past few days with the family being home and all. But I'm not going to tell you all of that because it is boring to most and mine to treasure and not share, anyway.
So, I'll do a list. It's fast. Easy. Lazy. And technically qualifies as a "blog post" for those of you (mom) who are asking me why I haven't written anything.
A list of things so far, to use as proof of writing something:
- Trap shooting.
- Bruise on upper, inner right arm from shotgun from trap shooting.
- Family photo.
- Scavenger hunt.
- No fights.
- Wind farm, both drive and ogle.
- Langdon sausage.
- Talkin' about family stuff, then, now, and someday.
- Balderdash.
- A complete gutting of the old computer to my frantic dismay and my brother's ever patient insistence that he will fix the problem.
- Fun with the cat.
- Church fellowship dinner for people to say hi to my brother and an amazing moment when almost my entire family was all in my home church again.
- A pencil for my brother, which said: Jerry Neidlinger - Auserican.
- Road trip. Sort of. Since going anywhere in North Dakota amounts to a road trip.
- Watching "Ghost Rider" in a museum.
- Touring the missile site here at home and by Nekoma.
- Graveyard and photos.
- Moving furniture.
- Quizno's and wandering around WalMart.
- Cleaning out the bathtub drain.
- Cat escaped.
- Cat covered in burrs.
- Cat wanted back in.
- Cat had burrs cut out and has an uneven hairdo.
- Cat is fluffy.
- New memory stick for computer.
- Now it works.
- But we got a new computer instead.
- Old computer with new memory now goes to nephew.
- Breakfast with the Damschens.
- Rush to get packed up and copy, uh, some files to disc for Jerry.
- Bismarck. Radisson.
- Say Goodbye.
In a couple of weeks, I'll be picking up Bine and her husband at the airport, here for a short visit from Germany. Expect another similar post then.
October is turning out to be a hectic but fabulous month.
UPDATE: Here are the official family photos, from both Jerry's and Bine's visit.

No small accomplishment, David, believe me.

Greetings, Julie. I just wanted to say that your blog is one that I regularly visit. In my opinion, it is creative and humorous. I enjoy its quirkiness.
