nothing exciting...oh maybe a little

We haven't had anything really exciting happen lately but some wonderful things that seem to keep us busy.
Last Friday I closed a deal (with the help of Mom and Dad) on a new car. A 2004 Pontiac Montana, silver with only 40,000 miles. very nice and just what I was looking for. I also sold me car. It's not gone yet but I did get $500 down and the rest Friday. I sold it for $1600 and it only sat out on highway 63 for about 5 hours. Dempsey and I love it, Aaron like it a lot but I think he's a little embarrassed. Oh well.
On Monday we welcomed the newest member of the family. Miss McKenzie Rea McKeever, daughter to Ryan and Missy (Aaron's Brother). Cute as a button, and we are all so happy she is here.

And today Dempsey and I went to the lake to go swimming and enjoy the heat. The water was great, Demps was doing a wonderful time swimming. Julie, Mike and Grandma were out too. Julie took Gramdma, Demps and I for a boat ride around all 3 lakes, it was hot. Then we swam some more before going home. I had an incident that I would have never imagined to happen... Demps and I had been swimming about 20 minutes, Demps started jumping in the water from the dock, we were scrunched down in that water about elbow deep and as I was jumping up out of the water, something was on my finder and sliding off. A FISH! It had my entire middle finger in it's mouth and as it fell of its teeth drug all the way off my finger. We got out of the water fast in case it was something other than a fish. I looked around and didn't see any thing. later in the day Julie and I were poking around and found my fish. Here it was a large bass, only a few feet from where I was bit. We aren't sure but we think the fish could be sitting on a nest. Who know, all I do know is that it was a big fish and it scared the crap out of me. Julie can voge for me that it was a big fish and most likely the one that bit me. We tried to catch it with no success, it swam off. I'll never forget the surprise of a fish on my finger.

I took a picture of my finger but it's hard to see the damage.

here you can see the scrapes at an angle across the knuckle and finger nail


the 2 circled spots are deeper scrapes and if you look closely you might see teeth marks all the way to the tip or the finger
