Two direction time of year.

Well Dad and Grandpa have hit their stride and we are in a busy season of farming now. Dad decided that if I am going to be among the percentage of the greenhouse profits, I should be there by 8 am everyday. This is fine with me, as the only real reason I usually have to leave greenhouse activities is for church on saturdays. Going on saturdays this time of year lets me get in and watch over sunday mornings so that grandma and grandpa can go to their church activities. The only other issue is that dad also has to pull me his direction to help with farming details. He might decide that he wants a pop in the middle of the day, or that I need to go work somewhere else while I should be at the greenhouse. I should be doing those things anyways, but it would be nice if he was able to plan ahead enough so that I could plan some.

I am trying to fit the greenhouse details on the farm works software and am not sure how it is going to work. I need to put all of our flowers in as supplies, but I can't distinguish all the groupings like I want to. It looks like I am going to have to keep an inventory and put in sales and expenses that way. It would be nice if I could describe our benches as fields, but I don't think it will work out that way. We don't "harvest" from the greenhouse like we might an actual field, so listing everything as a supply might be the way to go.

It was about this time of year a year ago that I started my sobriety also. I realized that I had or was going to buy a house and that I could save money by not drinking. After the auction I bought a 12 pack, and once it was gone, I didn't have more than one beer on any occasion until the fourth of july. I also had recently read around the same time that a man who doesn't drink, doesn't party and has faith would be very desirable or was being sought out. It turns out more was implied than what I could do, but reading that was a good kick start nonetheless.

I think I will be starting another such sobriety streak here soon, but I have a couple of beers left in refrigerator to get through first. No reason to throw them out or let them go bad, I just know what drinking does to my body and want to knock it off again.

I also watched the movie "Fireproof" tonight. I very much enjoyed it and will be looking for it on the store shelves in the future. The movie had plenty of good messages, but I can see why it didn't have commercial success like other blockbusters might. I remember hearing Kirk Cameron on some news program and thinking it might be okay, but am glad that I watched it now. I hope and pray that if I ever get married, I can do the right things for God and my wife to deserve the benefits of a good or blessed marriage. I did watch "drag me to hell" last week also, but it was a bit goofy or over the top for me. I did like the overall story, but it wasn't my favorite horror or scary movie flick.
