Greg Stier is the founder of Dare 2 Share, a conference that the Christ the King's youth group went to some time ago. Basically what he is doing is showing teens how to share their faith, using things that todays teens can relate to. Its really cool. I would recommend that you should check it out, especially if you are a teen or a youth group leader.
Anyhow Greg Stier has a blog that I read regularly, as you can see to your right. I really like his latest post. It's about his friend Art. Check it out.

My Day at Work
So most of you know that I work at kroger (a grocery store in the same chain as Fred Myer) What you my not know is what I do.
I work in the bakery bagging bread. (bread bagger just sounds so official and grand)
A normal work day for me starts a 6:30 when I have to get up to be at work by 8:00.
8:00 am. Start by clocking in and washing up, putting on a hair net and apron. First I bag and tag the "you bake its" (the par-baked breads that you take home to finish the baking process) that the baker has set out for me, and I slice some of yesterdays bread. Slicing bread is one of my least favorite parts of the job, mostly because it just take so long, and I have to move back and forth between two different tables, and you want the bread completely cool (not an issue with yesterdays bread) before you slice it or it will be mashed by the slicer and make a mess. I usually have a full cart by then so I take it out to the selves.
9:30am I bag the hot French bread, then take that out to. The artisan breads come next. Along with the sourdough bread (that has to be sliced too).
10:30am I start on the majority of the bread. The sandwich buns and the hoggie rolls, hot dog buns, sweet Italian subs and Italian bread. Sandwich breads that also have to be sliced. Croissants and cheese sticks, etc. They all have to be bagged in 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, or 12 and tagged and put out on the selves.
12:30 I start on the sweets. Pies, cinnamon rolls, turnovers, bear claws and more.
2:00 Break
2:30 Date and price pre-packs, slice cake and make garlic bread.
3:30 Clean up. Wipe down table, clean out slicer, sweep floors.
4:00 Go home.
The times vary of course, different things go out on different days and it depends on how busy the day is.

More Sewing Progects
This dress was just thrown together as a quick thing, a bit of an experiment, but it came out ok. The jacket was a separate pattern. It goes well with just about anything an is just right to keep the sun of my shoulders.
This is our newest plant. It is a palm that came from Dads office. It is in pretty sad shape. It did not get enough light in the office. "He" has been dubbed Pontius "the palm" Pilate.We found that the larger of the pots on our porch have been trapping water under them, and starting to rot out the wood. So we (by we I mean Mom did all the work) had to rearrange them and put racks under them to lift them off the wood. It has also made it much easer to water them and looks much nicer.
An empty nest
The birds on our porch have flown, all of them. This is a picture of the last baby getting ready to fly off. Mommy and Daddy bird have not been back for a week or so, so I think that they have finished having babies for this year. We will have to get up there and clean out the nest sometime.

The 4th of July
Happy fourth of July. Only 10 days left until my birthday.
I had to work today. I got up a 4:50am to get to work by 6:00am. (I normally start work at 8:00) There was a parade of golf carts around 9:00 (people drive golf carts in Peachtree city Ga like small cars. There are special trails for them and you can drive them alone with only a permit. So parents use them to send their kids out on errands) with the golf carts all decked out in red, white and blue. After that things got crazy in the store. We where dashing about trying to keep the tables stocked.
The good news is that I got to go home at 2:00pm. With plenty of time to get ready to make a nice dinner for the 4th.
Mom and Naomi are in Utah for my aunts wedding today. So its just Dad, Jon-Paul and me. I am going to make a cake and will get Jon-Paul to grill some burgers.
