I'm still here

She loves me! She really loves me!

I wanted to write a quick post just to make sure everyone knows I'm still here!  Since having our fourth child in February, it's been pretty tough to find time to write anything.  My time has been filled with swimming, baseball, softball, maintaining my house, a Baptism and First Communion on the same day, a 2nd Grade field trip to a museum, Cub Scout activities, rock climbing with the kids, the Detroit Whisky Festival, a piano recital, and even my first 5K of the year.  Not to mention I have a job to go to every day and I'm still constantly removing things from my house.

A couple weeks ago, our sump pump stopped working right after a weekend of heavy rain.  It was by far the most water we've had in our basement in the 14 years we've lived here.  Nothing was ruined but we had so much stuff stored downstairs that I took a bunch of it to the garage just so I could move some other things off the wet carpet.  It was motivation to purge so I wouldn't have to carry it all back downstairs.  I sold a set of three heavy wood bar stools on Facebook and posted a couple other items for free just to get rid of them.  Now I have a plumbing job ahead of me to replace the sump pump and install a backup system.

As you can see I've been too busy to do much writing but I have gained a few new email subscribers.  Welcome!  If you are getting emails but haven't followed me on Facebook, please do.  Likewise, if you aren't receiving emails, you can subscribe just by putting your email in the form below.  Also, if you ever have a question, comment, suggestion, or just want to say hi, you can email me at Dave@DaveLubke.com or send me a message with Facebook messenger.

Finally, I have one small request.  If you happen to be on my website, take a look to the left side of your screen.  You should see a small rectangle that says "Reviews" with a green check mark next to it.  Please take a second to click on that and then click on the stars to rate me.  If you have benefited from my website in any way, I would love it if you left a short review (preferably a good one and 4 or 5 stars).  This just lets others know that my website is a safe site that can be trusted and that it's not some sort of scam or phishing website.  

Thanks for reading and rest assured I have a few posts already in the works and plan to get back into a regular posting routine very soon.
