We would like this blog to encapsulate exactly what the title refers to. The "memoirs", the memories, the observations and the life experiences that occur at Burke Manor. Why Burke Manor, you ask? Anytime someone new would come to visit our home Josh would always say, "welcome to Burke Manor". It just sort of stuck so now we have, "The Memoirs of Burke Manor".

Life's little surprises...
Well it really wasn't a surprise just a change of pace. Last night Jenna Quann came to Burke Manor to spend the evening with us. It was delightful. At first it was hysterical Josh had her counter sinking nails into our deck (we all were doing it). Let's just say mine and Jenna's nails were not doing any sinking, as Josh's were sinking with ease! So Jenna and I decided we would go and weed one of the flower beds. It was a good time of sharing and fellowshipping. I so enjoyed her company. Once we finished that task we decided to go in and eat dinner. We had some yummy chicken BBQ, strawberry salad and chips for those that wanted them. That was followed by more talk time out on the deck with some nice hot tea. Josh was excited about this seeing how his plan to do this Monday night was thwarted. Jenna had every intention of leaving early, however we kept talking and talking and therefore she did not get out of Burke Manor till around 10pm. All in all it was a joyful time and we enjoy those little changes now and again!

The best show on Earth or TV !!!!

Ok so I know this is going to be a shocker for some, however Josh and I have recently become fans of the show "Rob & Big". I was a little skeptical at first but I am officially hooked. For months and months I kept hearing Jonathan talk about this show. I know this officially sounds horrible, but I ignored him. However, two nights ago I overheard Josh talking to Jonathan. Josh said, "yeah just go ahead and put them in the mailbox I will get them when I get home". What Josh was referring to was the full DVD set of Rob & Big season one. When we got home Josh stopped and asked me to check the mailbox. I reached in and pulled on this full DVD box set and immediately said, "ridiculous". So I went about my business that evening and then Josh as we were getting ready for bed said, "do you want to watch one of these shows"? Back story, I had come home from work that day early feeling very ill with body aches etc. So as I get ready to lay down in the bed I am thinking "eehh" I do not want to watch this show. However, not wanting to be difficult I said, "yeah I will watch one". That was followed by, " Josh you know this is going to be ridiculous if your brother recommended this". So the first show played and to follow that two more episodes. I am not going to lie, I was wrong. I absolutely love the show and am addicted. It cracks me up. Well I recommend you give it a shot, don't judge it before you watch it like I did!!!
