Sunday

Well it was great to visit our old church this morning and hug many whom we hadn't seen in months; a few we hadn't seen in a couple years. We learned a few had passed on and many were having health issues due to their age but it was wonderful to renew many old friendships. Amy our daughter and her family are regular there and very much involved. We heard a good message and took the LORD'S SUPPER; while the praise music was sedated it was inspiring. After church we headed home and Nancy made a grocery run for a few things as Amy invited us over to their place for lunch which had been cooking in the crock pot all morning.

We enjoyed a kielbasa soup or stew which was very tasty and I fixed a large salad and we had crusty bread to go with. They finished up the leftover chocolate pie from last nights supper. We played with Sam and Ava until it was time for Ava to go to a costume party with one of her school friends, she was dressed to look like Dorothy and her hand basket with Toto the dog. She was adorable and is such a sweet little girl. Sam was being a boy and he crashed and burned a couple times while being wide open, but he also is a sweet boy and just melts your heart. We spoke with son Bobby and little Gabriel has RSV again and is having to take breathing treatments a couple times a day, so keep him in your thoughts and prayers.

After that scrumptious lunch we headed home to water the gardens and watch a little of the NFL about the only game worth watching was the Steeler vs the Patriots game and it was a good one. The Bucs were on a bye this week and so they didn't stink up the T.V. or have another bad loss. I started another read and its a good one about a British Army soldier who managed to trade places with a Jewish prisoner in Auschwitz during the Holocaust. Wow is it ever a good read and he was honored and received by PM Brown at a ceremony where he was awarded a medal of humanity. Great read and I will post the title tomorrow and this chap is still alive while into his 90's.

Nancy headed out to the rehab after a lite supper of a frozen pizza to visit with her dad and give her mom a ride home. I watched more football in between reading this exciting and true life story and decided to cut the lights around 10:30.

I almost forgot to mention we had a nice long chat via the telephone with our "mountain mom" during the afternoon. She said it was 28 degrees there this morning but had warmed up to a balmy 65 in the afternoon with bright sunshine and she remarked the leaves on the mountain were just gorgeous. They had some "wind snow" but nothing laid on the ground. All is well there with her and her brother Joe who lives near by. We certainly didn't get to do much with them this past summer as we usually do all kinds of fun things; mainly because of our return trips due to Nancy's dad's health; we were only there for 10 weeks all together this year. We are hoping next summer will give us more time with them. Well better go, LATER
