AVR News Update
Hello and Happy Sunday! 

This week has been pretty good weather-wise. We've had actual Spring-like weather and it's been lovely. The next 10 days look good, too. Let's hope the forecast actually sticks.

Not much going on around the homestead other than the usual book reading, grocery shopping and household chores. Kyleigh came for a visit Saturday and we babysat while her parents and our daughter went to the movies. 

Kyleigh is snoozing because of a full belly. Grandpa blames his allergy meds for his little nap. lol


Saturday evening we took the kids to see Pure Pro Wrestling because we have friends who wrestle and we had a great time even though they weren't selling nachos. What's up with that?? Here's the kids with Justin Flash.

Here's the beginning of the Diva Clash.

The fan in the blue shirt giving the wrestler shit is part of the fun in going to these matches. He's hilarious!

A good time was had by all. The fun is over and it's time to get some work done.
                    
That's it for me. AVR News Update signing off. May all your books enthrall you.

    1. Indie shows are great! I've never been to or even watched WWE, but we have fun when we go to the matches locally. I think it makes a difference that our friends are involved. I would never go otherwise.

      Many of my friends loved Slave World (1 & 2) and it sounds interesting. :)
