11-11-14 Catching Up on the Past Few Days

Well, well, well.  It has been a few days since writing on the blog.

We have been b-u-s-y with Ashlynn and Zade.    Actually Sarah's parents spent Thursday and Friday nights with them, staying until Saturday afternoon.

Here goes.....

Friday Glen saw the oncologist here in Cape Girardeau.  The blood reports was great--no great jumps in the numbers and Glen is feeling well.  The doctor said "just keep on doing what you have been doing!"  

Saturday Ashlynn attended a birthday party.  

Zade had missed the entire flag football season because of his foot injury BUT there was a make-up game Saturday afternoon.  Zade got to play!  We were able to see the first practice.  The comparison of that practice and this last game was incredible.  There were plays, positions, and team play.  What fun.  

Sunday after church and lunch, we spent the afternoon in the back yard.  Max, the puppy, and Ashlynn and Zade all burned some energy.  It was a beautiful afternoon to be outdoors.

Monday was back-to-school.  Last night there was homework, reading, spelling practice.  Most of all it was the night "Mom and Dad" were coming home.  

"Mom" and "Dad" arrived shortly after eleven last  night.  They went into the kids' rooms and gave them a hug and kiss.  We caught up on their vacation/business meeting.

Today was a holiday (Veteran's Day) for Darin.  Sarah had to go to work!  

Glen helped Darin remove the "rag top" from Darin's jeep and put on the "hard top".  The first cold days of winter has arrived.

It was 58 degrees at wake up time and is currently 34 degrees at 8:30 p.m..  I am sure there is a wind chill since the wind is blowing up to 20 mph.  Br-r-r-r!

The water hose is disconnected, the tank heaters are on, the drain hose is disconnected, and there is light bulb turned on in the refrigerator section to keep the water line warm and not freezing.  THIS is the reason for heading south---soon!

We are expecting a couple of things in the mail.  Saturday, if everything arrives, we will be starting south.

Today is VETERAN'S DAY.  Several times a year we are reminded to honor the veterans that have and are serving out country with sacrifice, dedication, and pride.  Our thanks also to the families that offer support and love to each and every veteran.
