I am exhausted and heading to bed but just wanted to pop in and say hi.

I found out some really great news the other day.  My FIL was given a huge honor and I am so proud of him.  He is a volunteer fire fighter in a small country station.  I can’t remember for how long, but we’ve been married for 33 years and he’d been doing it for a long time then.  Well, they re-named their firestation from the community name to his name! 

That’s not his name, I distorted it…but how cool is that????

Now here’s the funny story about that picture.  I asked him to run to the station and take a picture and then I’d help him get it to his computer and sent to me so I could see.  (Isn’t that a funny place that they put the sign?)

Well, he called me when they left home and said to stand by.  I said to take one with his phone, too…just in case.  Well, he called me back and it took exactly 1 hr 28 min. to help him get the picture from his camera to his computer to his email!  Then I resized it and sent it back to him so he could forward it on to whoever he wanted to.  I also helped him get it onto his messenger display picture.  I could be a tech support person after that call!  lol   We had a good time with it, though…and I have to give him credit, he does pretty well at explaining what he’s looking at so I can help.

But back to the fire station.. isn’t that cool?  He said the upper-ups said they don’t name stations after living people when his own station contacted the powers that be.  They realized, though, that these guys were going to do it anyway…so they let them do it.  (I asked if they’d have to kill him now! . . . heaven forbid!)

On the knitting front, I finished knitting the bride’s shrug, it is blocking right now.  Hopefully pictures to come soon.  She likes it!!!!
