True vacation

We had a real vacation day today.  No schedule, perfect weather, beauty everywhere we looked.  Even a playful dog.  Sweet Nilla Bean.

The shelves in Lisa's beautiful kitchen. 





Looking out Lisa and George's bedroom window. 

From the front screened-in porch. 

Sophie was in school, George was at work, Dick helped Lisa to move some furniture, in preparation for some new bedroom furniture that was delivered today.  Lisa and I went to Home Goods and Whole Foods, then when Sophie got home I hung out with her while Dick went with Lisa to Lowes. 

George came home from work with food from Jazzy's BBQ. Scrumptious ribs, chicken, baked beans, cole slaw, baked beans, and little pumpkin and pecan pies. We ate in the back screened-in porch. It was already dark and getting quite cool, so George lit a new heater they had gotten, and it was just perfect. 

While we ate, Dick pulled up the live blog of Manheim Central's play-off game. They won - really won, 72-24!!  I'm so glad, because hopefully we will get to watch next week's play-off game. 

I had fun teaching Sophie how to play Scrabble this evening.  This afternoon we were making funny elf videos. Here's one of them!

Oops, the video doesn't show up in my camera roll from this Blogger app in my phone.  So I guess I can't show it to you.  Sorry about that. It was really funny. 

Tomorrow we go to Sophie's gymnastics competition. That's always a fun time.

This is the most rested post I have read from you in a long time! Usually after I have read your blog, I have to go take a nap. JK! This is for sure a real vacation. Everything seems so serene there....even the dog is calm. I wish I could have seen that elf video.
