What wacky weather we have been having. It was cold, then warm, then cold, and then warm, and then cold. It was nice enough to warm up for part of the weekend last week. Then a cold snap came through to almost freeze us out of our house again. With a warm up on the horizon with another possible cool off next week, this is getting really annoying. I am all for different seasons, but it really should make up its mind which one it wants to be in! I am so looking forward to the sumer now.

Event precursors
My wife, Anne, and I are happily married and enjoy our lives together; after some discussion we decided to add to our family. Following a few heartbreaking miscarriages, we chose to adopt a child. Anne contacted multiple adoption agencies all over the country, some state-sponsored and some not; each had a website with photos and a brief description of children available. Most of Anne’s inquiries resulted in the children we found interesting no longer being available or some unlisted criteria had to be met for us to adopt the specified child.

Anne then had discussions via the Internet with several females of varying ages who claimed to be pregnant but unable to care for their unborn children adequately. After more time, sometimes weeks, in discussions with each, they all turned out to be fakes, phonies, frauds and liars. Not only were my wife and I angry, but we were also hurt because we had exposed ourselves to these manipulators! These impostors left us very distrusting of nearly each case we had later seen.

On Saturday, February 23rd, 2008 we had an outing to a local brewery, Carolina Brewing Company. There were over 100 people there to listen to the owner give a tour and explanation of the whole process. Of course we got to sample the beer too! Afterwards we went to a local restaurant to eat and relax. We had a great day!
