I hope everyone had a great weekend. My wife and I are like tired mufflers – exhausted. We helped with the garage sale for our friends Friday and Saturday and those early mornings, long days, and physical activity we are not used to was a sudden change and took it out of us! But, we had a lot of fun, it was satisfying to help friends, and we got a lot done! So, we ourselves had a great weekend … even though I can barely walk haha.

Annnnd … yesterday we came to Great Wolf Lodge. We have some friends that we’ve made a near tradition of meeting here for one of our kid’s birthdays. It’s a hotel that is also an indoor water park. Pretty awesome actually!

On Friday I was driving down the road and saw a lady who was fishing a spare tire from her trunk. She obviously had a flat so I turned around and went to help. I changed her tire and got her on her way, but afterward I had a thought …. I don’t even change my own tires! If I have a flat on the side of the road I am pretty sure I would call roadside assistance. The last time I had a flat I had Run Flats and was able to drive all the way to the dealer to have them replace it.

The realization that I had about the tire, and the garage sale, is that it is sometimes easier for me to help other people than it is for me to do things that I need to do myself. Can you identify with that?

I don’t know if it’s true, but I heard …

Red Solo cups are a common souvenir to bring back from the United States. The novelty comes from the cups being used in many party scenes in movies.
