March was a pretty busy month, but with the weather the way it's been we didn't get to go outside too much. We started the month off with a visit to my cousins in Rolla. Thanks to Tammy, JD, Sherry, Mary and Simon for a great visit. We spent the afternoon with them and had a great dinner. It was nice to catch up with what they have been doing and we got to congratulate Mary and Simon on their new home. Unfortunately we didn't bring our
camera, so we don't have any pictures to share. That same weekend we had my other cousins out (Rae, Charlene, Carla, Barbara and my Aunt Betty) to my Mom's house to go through it one last time before we turned it over to the auction company. Father Time Auctions did a great job setting up and taking care of everything related to the auction. But more on that later. My crazy cousins were wanting to surprise Savannah with a new
bicycle, but Savannah wasn't with us at my Mom's that day, so we had to surprise her with their gift when we got home. She absolutely loved it! Later that week we had a whole lot of fun making Pizza! Savannah loves pizza, so, as a family, we rolled out the crust and put all the toppings on ourselves. Savannah, Mommy and Daddy all had a really good time putting it all together. Savannah was very proud with the final product and had
no problem eating a whole bunch of it for dinner. The following weekend we had the Schneider’s over for dinner. They came out mid afternoon and we lucked out, it was a fairly nice day. Since they moved out to no-man’s-land Illinois, we don’t get to see them very much except when the Rolla crowd gets together and Linda and I missed a couple of those gatherings this year, so it was a lot of fun hanging out and catching up. Savannah
and Cayden played really well together and pretty much wore each other out. Their youngest, Delanie, is just cute as a button, but for some reason, I didn’t get any pictures of her. Sorry about that Jay & Jen, I don’t know what happened. The next weekend was the big auction at my Mom’s house. I didn’t go. It was just a little too weird for me. But my lovely wife went to represent the Denison’s and to make sure everything went well, and it did.
Father Time Auctions did a tremendous job. They came in and set everything up. From taking
things out of the drawers and closets, cleaning them up to be shown, setting them on tables and then conducting the auction and cleaning up. They were a one-stop shop and 100% professional. If anyone is ever in need of these types of services, I highly recommend them. The week after the auction was a very exciting week here at the Denison House. See, the Denison’s were going to purchase a piece of ground with the
money from my Mother’s estate (a small piece as there wasn’t much there). But as we discussed it, with Savannah growing up, and as she starts getting into sports and other activities, we probably wouldn’t get any use out of ground. So, we decided to save the majority of it and take a small portion and get Daddy that fishing boat he has always wanted. I cannot be more happy about this decision. We got a 2009 Skeeter ZX190 which
is a 19’ (18’-5”) bass boat. Complete with electronics and a Yamaha 175. We haven’t had a chance to get it out very much as the weather hasn’t been very good, but we have gotten out a few times. Matt Maher and I took Savannah out last weekend. She LOVED it. When we first took off she started to scream and cry, but once we planed off, she was cool. Then she played with her toys and had a snack while we fished a bit. After we made the 65 MPH run back to the harbor, she was laughing. She had a grin ear-to-ear and kept saying “Go Fast Daddy, Go Fast”. It was awesome. That was the near the end of March.
The following weekend I fished my first tournament at the Lake of the Ozarks with Steve Moore. We caught fish where some people didn’t. It was just a work tournament so the there wasn’t a lot of pressure and we had a really good time. That was March in a nutshell. Hopefully we will do a better job in the coming future keeping this Blog up-to-date. My work laptop quit working and we have been without for quite sometime. Without having a laptop, it’s not as convenient to update this thing. However, we hope to have another laptop for our use soon, thus more updates!
