Great but tiring weekend this weekend. Zandra and I went up to New York City to spend the day with her sister and our brother-in-law. We did a touristy thing by visiting Liberty Island the Statue of Liberty. Here's a picture of me at the Statue of Liberty (more pictures in the Pictures section of the website).



We also walked around the city. Zandra and I visited the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA). We had dinner with Zandra and Sandy's cousin April at a really great Japanese restaurant. A great way to spend the day. Unfortunately, it was a longer day than we had anticipated. For the second time in a row, we had difficulties getting home on the train, with our train being delayed almost 3 hours (putting us in the door at around 3am).

Also got up early to attend a really great marriage conference led by Dr. Gary Chapman. If you've not read his book The Five Love Languages, you really should. It's an excellent book and Zandra and I both enjoyed the conference immensely. It's great to find ways to make a marriage better. Especially when you things really aren't going that badly.

Now, back to the challenge of getting everything ready to erect a new fence in our back yard. That has to be the next blog topic...
