The Results

It stinks being on the losing team - especially in a close game. 

What do we do now...continue to pray...

 

“ First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way.” 1 Timothy 2:1-2 ESV

Election Day

It seems to me that people are more anxious about this vote than others in the past. 
We have voted and prayed - we will now wait and see the results.

UFO's, a Grand Breakfast, Sparkly Spiderweb

We saw this UFO as we pulled in the spot for breakfast...how many sightings are something like this???!!!???

Gramma & Grampa  - one last breakfast before they hit the road

My kiddos and me!

The dew made it sparkle!

Lunch and Games

We had a nice lunch with the family at Tim's house - enough food for an army.  We had ham, potato salad, sweet potatoes, deviled eggs, corn, broccoli and cheese, rolls, and b-bque chicken.  Dessert included a lemon pie, apple pie, assorted cheesecakes, lemon cake and cinnamon roll from pie dough.
Everything was delicious.

Gramma and Kim tried something with the potatoes and said it worked great -
score the potatoes all the way around the middle
boil them whole
drain them when done
put them in an ice bath (cold water and ice)
the skin peels right off

Kim also fried up the sweet potatoes and they were delicious
She sliced them
fried them in butter
when they started to get soft top them with sugar and a little more butter
fry to desired tenderness and enjoy

We played a game of Canasta after lunch.  Gramma and Kim took the lead, then Chuck and Matthew quickly caught up.  Misti and I were dead last.  Chuck and Matthew won the game!

Football and racing were Grampa and Uncle Tim's entertainment for the day - and Becca played a video game.

We sure are glad that Gramma and Grampa came for a visit!

Full Day for All

Uncle Tim came over to diagnose the Chuck truck situation, one thing is a blown heater hose.  He did a few other things and seems to be some sort of issue with the transmission - we will get this checked on Monday.

He and Grampa hung out today.

Gramma, Becca, Misti and I took Chuck to work.  We then spent a few hours shopping and had a bite at Chili's.  None of us bought to much - but we had fun.  We then went over to Misti's and had a cup of coffee with our conversation.

Charles spent the day researching and working on the computer build.  It is fun to see his eyes light up when he talks about it.

After I got Chuck we swung into Wally World to buy somethings for lunch tomorrow along with a few Christmas presents.  I can hardly believe it is that time of year again.

Chinese Lantern Festival

We had a fun evening with family.  We rode the train over to see the Chinese Lantern Festival and met up with Uncle Tim's old college buddy Tony and his family.

Trying to get Tim to act like he is scared of the t-rex & pretend to run

Tony's little one did it perfectly!

This dinosaur made the girls scream and giggle as it moved is neck and roared at them

Eventful Day

It was a long day today - Chuck's car broke down on his way to work.  Today is a day I'm glad we have AAA.  He got it back to the house and then I took him to work.  Becca and I headed over to see Gramma and Grampa for a visit.  It is always fun to spend time with them.
We headed out to get Chuck and he got out very late.
We are thankful for God's provision, grace, mercy and blessings today!
