Meanwhile, not on the ranch

I think this whole blog is "meanwhile, back at the ranch," which isn't too far off, since this house was built on Texas ranch land. (Until recently, there used to be a herd of longhorn a few blocks away.) Yes, we are the subplot. The real action is in Honduras.


So, in case you've been wondering what Greg has been up to...



At work Greg deals with crises like this--a semi truck that drove through the installation's wall. Oops...

As the head Air Force civil engineer, he gets to be in charge of projects that use cool stuff like bulldozers...

Bulldozer





He lives here and drives that...

My new house





He volunteers at an orphanage...






He spends way too many long weekends here at Alton's Diving shop on Utila scuba diving...



...with friends...



staying in this hotel...






On many Saturdays he builds houses in Comayagua with Habitat for Humanity...






He also celebrates holidays with his friends, and he's planned some big celebrations himself...






Some days at work, as the fire marshall, he's involved in practice exercises like this...















Other days at work he flies out on a helicopter to survey land...









He volunteers to help with charity functions for orphans...


...like this one that included a Santa and his oxen...






He hikes...


to beautiful waterfalls...

He goes horseback riding...


through this...


and this...


to get to this (where there are some ancient cave paintings)...


and this...


Yes, it's another beautiful waterfall...


One you can walk under...






Greg spends his time organizing and running races...(yes, that's Greg out front, though I guess he came in third)...


Flying on helicopters...


Flying on airplanes to get to their scuba spot faster...


Lots and lots of scuba diving...


Checking out the wild life under the water...





as well as the remains of a ship wreck...


and checking out the wild life above water...







And this concludes your little look into Greg's life.



Now we'll return this blog to what's happening (or not happening) "meanwhile, back at the ranch."



By the way, the other day David said to me, "Daddy does fun stuff, and we don't."



It was kinda hard to disagree.
