Shades of Deliverance


Ah, the church picnic is almost upon us. We had a great time last year; 4 baptisms, great food, and tubing down a portion of the Chauga River (see below). I think tubing may be a little more dangerous this year with all the rain we’ve had recently. The kid will definitely be wearing a life jacket. The kid will definitely not wear the high-top basketball kicks this time around.

Summer, I am expecting some of your wares to be on display at the cookout – preferably something sweet.

In two days I'm off to Kansas City! I'm not really looking forward to the drive, but it might be fun. Yesterday I looked for sports talk radio stations in each state I'll be passing through. That might make the drive a little better. The Mrs. and the little one will be knocked out for most of the trip (even though the Mrs. has assured me she'll help drive), so I guess it'll be Nick and I boldly going where no Palmer has gone before. We're thinking about swinging through Cincy on the way home for a day. Hey, might as well make a roadtrip outta this thing. My mother-in-law's van is rapidly morphing into the mighty road-trip machine. I think my friends at church got a kick out of mom's "What a friend we have in Jesus" vanity plate.

I've become addicted to no-sugar added frozen lattes. The Mrs. has been making them at home when I remember to bring crushed ice home from the lab. I heard she made the kids some killer milkshakes too. I think I'll go try to find one now. Ciao for now...
