Our week, here and there

Just a quick post here this Friday morning.  Sounds like we're almost getting a return of summer weather for this weekend!   Now that I've gotten fall clothes in my closet!

I know everyone posts pictures of amazing skyscapes, but they never get old to me.  Here is one I took last week.  I used it for my header photo.

I also took this one.  I like the way this bowl, part of a set given to us for a wedding gift 43 years ago, matches my apples!

Earlier this week Dick was seen at the kitchen table like this.

The odometer in my car did not show up on the dash.  He learned via a YouTube video what the problem was and how to fix it, so at Radio Shack he bought a pack of four tiny things (??) that he soldered onto just the right place on this thing that he took out of my dash.  How's that for a technical explanation??  If he were here I would ask him for the right words to use, but he's at work doing other things I don't understand.  Anyway, he said he saved us $150.00 by doing it himself, and he wondered what he could go buy with that $150.  Haha!  If only it worked like that!  There is very little that he does not know how to fix himself.  I'm sure he has saved us many thousands over the years.

Once again we will not be going to Bjorn's game this evening.  It is not a home game, so we do not have reserved seats and tickets for it.  We'll keep track of the game online again.  Last week they won 44-0, the week before 42-6.  Wow!  What a team!  I'm so happy for him.

Today is Sammy's 3rd birthday!  So we WILL be going down tomorrow for his birthday party.  That will be fun.  I enjoy being with Jenn's family.  Look at this precious picture Jenn posted this week, which she titled "best friends".   She said he entertained Bianca while she was cooking dinner.  Looks like he was singing!

We will be staying down for Sunday.  I was asked to share about God's faithfulness to us and lead worship at the church that I grew up in, which my brother and his wife still attend - Hernley Mennonite.  It will be held at United Zion Campgrove.  That will be sweet.  Some of the people I have known my entire life.  Then we're hoping to spend some time with Frank and his children Sunday afternoon.  I can't believe I haven't seen Destiny since the middle of August.  But we do keep in close touch.

I need to also share these great pics from Sophie's gymnastics meet last weekend.  She got a first place for the first time!

Last weekend for Anthony's birthday, Anthony, Lori, and Austin went to Lancaster County.  Anthony wanted to go to the Apple store, which we do not have here in State College, for his birthday.  They also got ice cream at the very best place in Manheim - the Twin Kiss.  

I have not seen this boy awake for almost two weeks!  Occasionally I'm still at their house when they get home late afternoon, but he's always sleeping!  Adjusting to all-day kindergarten with no rest or nap time is proving to be a challenge.  Otherwise, he's doing just great, which makes for a very happy mommy and daddy!

Gotta run!  Have a great weekend!
