Monday Jan 31

Happy Birthday Christy! Coffee at folks. It was icey when I drove to town. Thought I would take the gravel road by Schau's... put on the brakes, slid right past the intersection. Guess I'll go around by the golf course. Went to turn by the golf course...slid right past that intersection... NOT quite past, I could still make the turn. Did MB's IEP. Called Morningside ... they don't know how I got signed up for that undergraduate 407 that started Jan 21...but I am now signed up for the 407 that starts March 21, 10 days after the 532 class I am taking now is over. UFFTA!

Full day at school. 2 of my students were gone. I took all gravel home and didn't slide by any intersections. 2 hour late start tomorrow. The other 2 sped teachers did read "My purrfect Jab" paper. We got to laughing so much the teacher's aid came and shut the door to Vicki's room.

Sunday Jan 30

SS and donut with Denny, E&A. and Stangls. After church we took Stangls home and then went to IG to get groceries. We ate lunch at Food Pride with Grodon and Susan. Home for quick naps, and another watching of Little House with E&A. Denny is feeling under the weather. We didn't go to church prayer meeting tonight. Missy came down and tutored me on a couple literary strategies. UFFTA!! Later I checked my Morningside E mail account. One of my night mares had occurred. I have always had the nightmare that I had signed up to take a class, forgotten that I was taking the class and found out I had to take the final THE DAY OF THE FINAL. Well, when I checked by Email I found out that I was signed up to take this 407 class that started Jan 21 instead of March 21 that I thought it started. I know I can't take 2 classes at a time... Some thing has got to give. It might be my mind. OUCH You can bet I didn't sleep too well.

Jan 29

Sat Jan 29: Denny worked at the Odebolt bank. I headed to coop and studied from 8 til 4. I did take a break from 10-11 and watched Little House with E&A. I'm pretty overwhelmed with assignments that I know nothing about for my Morningside Class. After I had a melt down, Missy said she has a reading endorsement and will help me through. Thank you Lord. Laura I. to the rescue.

Friday :) Jan 28 12897

Denny and I went over for coffee. Full day at school. A parent didn't show up for an IEP meeting. Bummer. Reschedule for Monday. Highlight of my day was when Heather S. came in after school and just wanted to be around someone happy in the resource room. We gave her some chocolate from a stash we always have available in the room. We listened and then told her we felt ... you "may as well laugh as cry" and "Have a good weeken." I was busy using a rubric on 18 - 9th grade - 5 sentence paragraphs on "My Perfect Job would be..." All 3 of us resource teachers are grading the paragraphs and then seeing if we give the students about the same score. UFFTA They are not very good writers, by the time I got done I was on overload, seeing run on sentences,and poor grammar. The spelling was good (THANK God for spell check). I had a brainstorm and printed off this paragraph and just slipped it in with the other 18 for Vicki and Donna to correct.

My prefect jab wood bee a spciilll edjucation teeechr. U gitto dress up nevery dae annd werk wit other g8t pe pole. And u git cndy wennever u want. Theirrrrr ore meny pe pole whoooo hep you bunches. Plus u ain’t spose t bee much smartest then yore kids. Thebist ting is u werking wit 2 berry nicer uder laidies.

I laughed all the way as I drove to Arthur to see Denny at the bank. (In the words of Luke, "Sometimes I just crack myself up.") We got pizza (for supper out in the coop), I took a hot bath while Denny started the fire out in the coop. After supper we purchased tickets to Brownsville April 21- 26. Lots to be thankful for. HOT DOG!! Or as Torren using the stick HOT MARSHMALLOW. Hope 3 of my kids are having a great time skiing. Missy is here with strep throat. OUCH.

Thurs Jan 27

Denny and I went for coffee at folks 7:10. At 1 I had a training for writing IEP's I am SO over my head, I just keep plodding along asking God for strength and Wisdom and His grace. Betty and Gloria came to talk to the students about the job of house cleaning. They did a great job... I am indebted. The IEP meeting was at the rec center. Then to Dose Garage sale, then to Arthur. It was great to see the sun when I got to Arthur. Snow was melting, Bring on the spring. I stopped at the unit on the way home so see a few pigs. We had Mexican for supper. Hopefully I'll head to bed early, and be ready for the last day of the week. Phillip did a great job of cleaning off the driveway. Missy said most of them up stairs are sick. Guess we won't visit them. We did look at flights to Brownsville for spring break - April 21-26. Now Denny need to see if he can get the time off.

Wed. Jan. 26

Both Denny and I went for coffee by 7:10. The train was blocking the road to school. Quite the dilemma, do I wait or turn around and find another way to school. Professional development at 1 pm - 3:30. We got an invite to Torren's "Grand" day Feb. 17. Sure wish it would work out. Lots to be thankful for, having a job ... but also some down sides. Matt, Michael and Brandon came to work with Phillip. M&B did not say for youth group. I studied at church during Awana, then took Lauren and Evan home. 210 pages to read before my next assignment. Lord, give me ideas what to do. He has been faithful all my life. Especially during this time of learning so much. Jan. 24 I read the verse that Pastor used in Mom's funeral. God has been my Shepard all my life to this very day. Thank you, Jesus.

Tuesday Jan 25

What a great family picture aat the wedding 2 years ago! This am there was no sound from upstairs of insanity. Coffee at folks, Denny joined. I had Julie L come to Ind liv and talk about cleaning today. She did a great job. Had handout with what you should clean every day/week/month/year. Denny is really hoping that I can learn alot this week about cleaning. I now have 6 students in that class, so Carlie and I went to Dollar General during her math class to get some supplies. I stayed at school til about 5. Missy called and asked me to get medicine for Brooks. He is teething and running a fever. Denny had a haircut. At home I worked on 2 532 assignments. Denny fell asleep watching presidential address. Seem like always so much to do..

Monday Jan 24

Happy Birthday Justine and Katolo. We are looking forward to hearing about that little Mendamenda and praying it will be a safe delivery of a beautiful child of God. I went for coffee at folks. Denny opened the door to the machine shed so I could get the pickup out. Thanks, Denny! The Ind liv class got taught how to clean a bathroom by custodian today. I have a family meeting tomorrow that I need to plan for. I came home and started an RTI assignment and a gen ed assignment. Missy subbed in Kindergarten today and enjoyed it. I did 25 min of insanity with her before school. To bed by 8:30. No real life... but thankful for what we have. Blessings from Mary Jo ... May the Lord bless and keep you today. May the light of Christ penetrate your heart and mind and fully illuminate it. May you know the peace and healing properties of the Sonshine. May your life be lived in His light and may you reflect the glory of the Lord to all those in your world. God bless you.

Sunday January 23

Marshall and Trina are adopting a 21 month old little girl from Bulgaria (I think) some time this year. Keep them in your prayers. That will bring Susan and Gordon's number of Grands to 6.
A&E went for donuts before SS with Denny and me. After church we had spaghetti and I took a nap while Denny worked on bill paying. I worked on 3 IEPs. Kids came down before we headed to prayer time and wrestled and chased with grandpa.
Mandy, Luke and Matt called today :) !!

Sat Jan 22 12769

For the last 3 years Karen has gotten Phillip's name for the Christmas gift exchange, and Phillip has gotten Karen's name. Missy is kinda wondering if they have something going on. They both get stuff they like. :) I stayed up late last night watching a Netflicks DVD. stupid of me but I felt like mindless relaxing. I cancelled Netflicks and needed to get the flicks back in the mail. Denny and Phillip and Howard went to Denison. Howard had an Angus interview, Phillip was looking for a livestock trailer (and got one) and Denny went along to video Grampa and look at the trailer. I spent most of the day trying to figure out my assignments for this SPED 532 class that I am taking. I did get to watch a Little house episode with E&A and hold Brooks before he fell asleep at nap time. Denny is now working on Tax/year end book work. I think I'll head to bed.

Friday Jan. 21

Coffee at folks. It was snowing pretty hard and I would have taken the pickup, but I couldn't get the door open to the machine shed. Good day at school. After school I got a few groceries, and headed to the bank. Denny and I stayed there until 6. Then home and we sat and chilled with the Jensens in their kitchen. My sons are headed to Denver to ski with Mandy next weekend. For Christmas Luke got racketball goggles, Matt got face warmer. Quite the guys.

Thursday Jan 20

I am sitting in my ICN Morningside class in Charter Oak. It is 8:20 pm and I am ready to go home!!! I've been here since 5. Denny drove me down to Charter Oak and I left him off at the UBI down here. He is working on bank stuff down there. This am I did Insanity with Missy, Coffee at folks. After school I got a pizza and came home. Denny met me at home and we headed down to C.O. LONG DAY. The pictures are from the ding, ding, bucket at Dubuque water park. Grandpa is standing under the bucket in Evan's drawing. In Ind Liv we made simple apple pie. I is made with biscuits and cut up apples. Some of them had never used a knife or vegetable peeler before. I was pretty happy we got it all done and cleaned up in 42 minutes. We did peel the apples yesterday and put them in a zip lock.

Wed. Jan 19

Missy didn't exercise today. I was submitting my 3 assignments for the class that meets Thursday by 5:30. Coffee at folks. I think I will try to observe Vicki's Math class 2nd hour for my Morningside class. I went with them to the grocery store. After school I stopped at CM's home to pick up some homework and have him sign a pe waiver. Then I picked up MW and brought him out to the farm.

Message from Missy: Waters slides are SO much fun!!!
(I love how my dad is smiling...mostly because I know he can't really see me without his glasses!!!)

Tuesday Jan 18

Luckily we didn't get stuck when Anabel and I went to GGny for coffee. Denny came over too and took little A home. Pretty regular day at school. I met with K's parent at 3. Then I came home to kids circling in the garage. I finished reading 2 chapters in a book for a professional development day Jan 24th. Denny fixed quiche that Missy had made for us yesterday (as I studied). I'm loving Matt's quotes on his facebook. Thanks, Matt! I also love Missy's pictures. (I copied them the last 2 days.) Thanks, Missy! you can access their blogs from mine if you click on them.

Monday Jan 17

I drove to the folks. Denny had left eariler with the tractor to clean out their driveway. I got stuck at the end of their driveway. I tried to shovel out and ended up walking to Denny in the tractor. Great start to the day. If only I had had those 2 shovelers. Denny had a MLK holiday at bank. After school I came home and helped Denny clean after getting the sump pump put in the green room.

Sunday January 16

Donuts before SS with EA&D. We went to IG to get some more things for sump pump after church. I worked on organizing my papers from last class in a portfolio all afternoon. Denny started to clean up the bedroom and put a hole in the south wall. Then we went to a supper with 3 missionaries to Turkey. It was a great night.

Sat Jan 15

Up early to do 30 minutes of Insanity. Left for SC at 7:15. WW okay. Brooks had pictures taken. They turned out great. I met with 2 home school families. Denny and Phillip and Evan went to the Denison sale barn to see how it is done. Home by 1:30. I watched Little House with E&A. In the afternoon I started my life spinning again. I went to the Morningside site and found the syllabus for SPED 532. Uffta. Denny started to put the sump pump in our green bedroom.

Friday January 14

I exercised for 10 min with Missy- Coffee at folks-I took out juice and banana muffins that were too dry to flagpole. Mr. Miller came down to my 1st hour class for a while. The day went well. Ind Liv talked about washing my 2 white robes/ different fabrics/ and check book register. Gave tests to 3 classes. After school I walked the halls for 30 min with Vicki and Sherri. Then to bank with Denny. Called home school moms in SC. At home we had cheese tasting treat.This is the edited email Denny sent to Luke. Thanks for the Sheep milk cheese !!!! from Trader Joes. We had a nice Cheese party with our neighbors tonight. (We cut off the fuzzy stuff before putting on the plate with the crackers and MOM thought that using Jicama with onion/ dill /sour cream /beau monde dip would cleanse the palate)

We got a nice Christmas letter from the Siches this week. I miss them. The kids are getting so grown up. It was great to hear from them. On a sadder note a college friend of mine died on Thursday. Shari Simbro was my sorority sister. We had just stopped to visit her this summer when we were at the court house in Newton.

Thursday January 13

Didn't exercise last 2 mornings...pretty blah. Coffee with folks. At school I got a couple things done...submitted a report for school Feb. News letter. (what do first year teachers have to say??) Signed in data for Microsoft money (we are to do that once a month) Plus visited email with principal about a student whose mom I went to meet out in the parking lot. Plus made banana muffins for student prayer warriors who meet at the flag pole every Friday am at 7 to pray for friends, school, etc. At 5:30 Denny came to school and we ate with Emily M. at the soup supper for MS tag students. Went to BB game against GH SC. Girls won. Jensens came and watched (with Tots). Anabel sat on my lap. I told her to watch the girl with the yellow hair just like hers. I told her she could play just like Ashley Z. when she grows up. They both have the same whispy blond hair. We came home with 2 pails of soup at $5 a pail. Filled the car with gas ...ouch $3.05. Yesterday I filled the pickup with gas ... double ouch.

Wed. January 12 take 2

Two hour late start today. Missy had buzzed me for exercise, but I was looking for my WW book. I went to Anabel and Howard's for coffee. And left for school after that. After 2 days off I felt like loose ends on what I was suppose to be doing. AND I left my school keys on the Malibu key chain when I took the pickup. After school I met a student's mom in the traffic to the north of the building. Matt did not come to the farm. I went to Wall Lake for a hair cut, bought groceries, ate supper with Denny at church, helped with Awana, took Lauren home, filled the pickup with gas, and brought Evan home. Full Day. How cute is this picture.

Tuesday January 11

No school today. 8-10 inches of snow. I'm working on lesson plans. What do I ever decide to teach 5 students about independent living. I think they should know how to clean toilets, wash dishes, and wash clothes. Plus cook, do budgets, buy groceries, sew on buttons, get a job, pay taxes, vote. Heck I can't do that stuff and I've been at it for a life time. Denny came home tired. I was tired. Good night.

Monday Jan 10 12411

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MANDY!! Hope I can talk to you today. Your phone message is full. I'm home, We got snow today and there is no school. I wish we would have had just a late start. I have not done an important thing today. AND there is lots I could be doing. So it is kinda sad. I'm not even enjoying being lazy. We got a new washer and dryer delivered from Malcolms this am. The old one was not working. Dad took the pickup to the bank this am. Missy worked with me to get lesson plans rolling for Ind. Living Class. Thanks!! It was huge just trying to set out weeks when I would cover topics. It seems there is so much I could teach them. Hard for me to organize the lessons. Keep praying for me. After work Denny and I visited in sun room. E&A could be in there, but they could only listen to us talk. It was nice. Watched DVD "While You Were Sleeping" in bed. About time to cancel Netflicks again because my college class is to start next week.

Sunday January 9, 2011

Slept in until 7. Denny went to SS. I went to church. After church I visited with Schmidts for a while, then came home. Denny had a salad ready for us. Nap, then back to work at the bank. Next was visitation for Curt R. in Odebolt. Denny dropped me off at home, then he headed back to the bank to work. It started snowing after church, but didn't seem too bad tonight. Pictures were from our stay in Marshalltown (Bigger that our basement apartment). I didn't finish the book.

Sat Jan 8

Happy Birthday Matt!! YOU HAVE BEEN LOVED A LONG TIME!! We had hot breakfast which consisted of heating up oatmeal and hard boiled eggs in the microwave, hot coffee, hot toast, or waffles. No complaints but not the eggs, ham, bacon, and hash browns that Denny had hoped for. (I'm not at my computer to crop the 1977 pictures.) Denny, and the Jensens went to the

Practical Farmers deal. I shopped a little, worked on school at the hotel room a little, at 3 I went and watched the 3 at Jana's apartment. After the conference we stopped at Penneys and got a couple pair of dress pants for Denny, Then home by way of Denison to look at a pickup that wasn't there.

Fri Jan 7

Only took a quick 15 min of Insanity. anabel came with me to GGny's. She was happy to get to take popcorn that GGpa had made back home with her in a sandwich bag. During 7th hour we had a talk with Mr. M. After school I had an eye exam. My eyes have not changed that much, but the Dr. is going to try and tweek my prescription so I can read student's computer screen a little better. I took assignments to CM. Then I got a pizza and headed to Arthur to work until Denny got off work, We ate pizza after we got home and then left about 7:30 to go to Marshalltown for a Practical Farmers conference. We got there at 10, all the rooms at Super 8 were filled, 4 smoking rooms left at BWestern and one suite that Denny got for us. (kitchen area, gas fireplace, kings bed, whirl pool big tub and a coupon for a hot breakfast) Kind of a treat. He was tickled. Plus as we were walking around the motel, there was a sample room for Practical farmers to share what they produced as snacks. So we got treats, too. cheese curds, smoked turkey, drink samples, summer sausage, crackers, cookies, chex mix, etc. We were glad we went to Marshalltown after work.

Thurs Jan 6

Missy and I did 'Insanity - not PX90' today and Wednesday. I only did 15 minutes, but I got my heart rate up. GG Anabel had made rye bread on Wednesday. She let me have 4 slices for supper. In Ind. living we started in the kitchen. Baked cookies that were mixed up, made chocolate milk, and cleaned kitchen. Late going to next class because we couldn't hear the bell. Not good. I was told I was not taking the class, I was suppose to be there to help the students. After school I walked/jogged with VE, BM,and SC for 30 minutes in the hall ways of the HS. Then to the Arthur bank until close to 7pm. For supper we had a white sauce with ham over rye bread with cheddar cheese sprinkled on top. Today Phillip made arrangements for Matt T to go to Impact. Pray that the conference will impact Matt's life for the Lord. Thanks Phillip. These pictures for the next few days are from my Grands playing at the rec center.

Wednesday Jan 5

I'm sore tonight. I did PX 90 for 20 minutes with Missy this am. Anabel and Evan went with me to GGny. It was slippery. We talked about it on the way up to their door. Nice visit inside. KIds came home with TR pops. (They didn't ask for them.) As we walked to the car, Evan and I walked on the grass. Anabel headed straight to the driveway cement. As she headed down the incline she turned, smiled and said Loudly,"It's not ......Before she could say slippery, She fell solidly on her seat. I laughed right out loud. She was kinda somber on the ride home. When I asked her later if she was hurt she accusingly said,"You laughed at me." Ya, honey, I did. It was funny, you looked so smug and it reminded me of your mom when she said,"It's not hot, It's not hot. It's not ouwie ouwie ouwie." as Missy ate nachos with jalapeño peppers. We had warned Missy that the nachos were hot. I carried your screaming mom through a crowded restaurant when she was 2 or 3. After school I took Matt and Michael to work with Phillip. Anabel and I went to church and ate supper with Denny. I gave Lauren a ride home from church. The boys rode home with Mick Hofmann.

Tuesday Jan 3

Anabel and I went over to see GGny, She loved the chocolate milk/kids coffee. First day back with the students. New Semester. I'm ready to feel a little bit more acquainted with the routine. Last semester of my life was any thing but routine. I'm having all (5) of my classes down in the Home Ec. room. It is used 4th hour for Foods, and it may be used for CNA classes. They used it last year, and a bed, wheel chair, commode, walker were also stored in one of the kitchen areas. Kind of nasty to have a commode in the kitchen areas, so Mrs. W. moved all the stuff out in the hall. OUCH I imagine that will cause some debate. I'm a bystander, but also involved and I don't want to stir up any ire. We'll see what happens. I know it won't be a pleasant as those 4 making cookies in my kitchen. We went to Odebolt about 5 to look at a small 4 wheel drive pick up truck for me. It didn't start ... not a good sign. We headed back to IG, ate supper with first State Bank and went to the girls BB game against MVAO. We won 82 to 22.

Monday Jan. 3 2011 12166

I didn't sleep well last night. Lots of school work to get done. Denny worked on paying bills and year end finances until 11?. Little A and I went for a visit this am. Linda was coming about 8:30 to go with Howard and Anabel to have the results of the pet scan read. It was a work day for the teachers today. I had my grades pretty well figured, but I had a lot of books, etc from last semester to put away and organize. Donna, Vicki and I went for lunch at the Family Table. I worked at school til about 4 then went to get groceries. Good News when I stopped by the folks. Anabel didn't have to have Chemo today or in two weeks. The scan was encouraging. She will have to have it checked every month. She is taking a new pill similar to the one she took for 3 years which kept the cancer away. This was good news. Pray for her to use this time to get stronger. Lots of prayers have been answered. An Email came to school today that said the Curt R. is not doing very well. Carol taught in the OA schools for many years. Denny is at a visitation for a 51 year old wife who died this weekend. Life is short. Live it to the fullest.

Sunday January 2, 2011

I got up about 6:30 and tried to finish catching up on this blog. It takes awhile when I get behind. E&A went with us for donuts before SS. As Evan and Anabel saw the smoke from the Arthur stacks they said, "There's the ethanol plant. There's the ethanol plant." Then Evan asked a good question, "Why do they call it a plant?" We didn't really have an answer for that one. Denny told him to ask his mom. Evan said he had and she said he should ask Nathan's dad because he works there. Denny drove over and got Stangls. Three people were baptised during the service. Brenda B. Mick H. and Stuart U. It was a neat service. After church, after we dropped Laura off, we drove past a black Chevy pick up for sale in Odebolt. In the afternoon Denny took a nap and I worked on grades. I wrote a note to Anabel as she goes for the reading of her pet scan tomorrow. We went to prayer time at church at 6. Denny is struggling filing a payment of money to the IRS on line. It would be so much easier if they would just take a check, but not any longer, you have to do it on line.

Sat. January 1 2011

Kinda slept in. Denny helped my get the addresses for the Christmas letters. They are all ready to go. I made some chicken potato soup and we took it to the folks for lunch. Denny brought up videos from the basement and Howard said it made his day to watch some old videos that were of his mom and dad. Denny brought the videos home and showed them to the Jensens. Anabel joined us as we went to Kim and Curits's about 5:30. Good to visit with neighboors. The kids like to ride the bull that Youslings got for grandpa's house. Mary Jo had this New Years post:

http://www.caringbridge.org/ia/matthudson/ May the Lord give you a vision for the coming months and years. May you seek His face, His direction, His love and compassion. May you learn to be patient on the timing of God. May you be secure in His love. May you find joy as you wait. May you have an attitude of gratefulness for the salvation of Jesus and may you live every day in the fullness of the Holy Spirit. May your goal for 2011 be to exercise the fruit of the spirit in every situation to run the good race with no regrets. God bless you today and in the coming year.

Friday December 31

I called Denny from Harlan at 6. He fixed us breakfast when we got there at 7am. Bruce had a quick bite, then back on the road. He wanted to beat any bad weather that was coming PLUS Maynard had a New Years eve party to go to with some high school friends. After breakfast Anabel and I went to GGny's house. At home I tried to work on entering my checks into Centerpoint; I tried updating my blog; I couldn't type in any information; I asked Missy to help, She called Luke, He said the battery light was on when he was home and it might need a new battery. Praise the Lord. That worked. I got my checks entered and the computer matches with the bank. Denny came home from work about 3:30. We watched the little ones while Jensens went to a show in Denison. We lay on pillow and blankets and watched 2 DVDs. Vegetales and Little House on the Praire. Pretty fun. Kids went to bed well. When Missy and Phillip came home we visited with them almost until midnight. Ate a yummy frozen appetizer thing that Luke left in the freezer. Thanks Luke!

Thursday December 30

Maynard and Bruce had a 7 am tee off time. Gail and I went to Wal-Mart to get some notebooks for the classes I teach and some pictures enlarged. Then Gail and Nancy took me to the golf course. Bruce had finally scored lower than Maynard on both rounds. I found 2 green golf shirts for the Newhouses with a Texas golf course logo. Bruce, Maynard and I left for Iowa from there. We left about 10 am. Drive about 5 hours, Fill with gas, Drive about 5 hours, fill with gas, Drive about 5 hours, Fill with gas. Traffic was heavy in San Antoinio, and Austin. Lots more stressful that the Kansas Turnpike. Drive 5 hours fill with gas. Oh yes, did I say we ate straight for 20 hours ( Sandwiches, apples, oranges, wintergreen mints, Cheesey snack mix, etc. etc.). We got to Ida Grove 7 am Friday morning. I had been gone exactly 7 days. I left 7am Friday Dec 24 and returned 7 am Dec. 31. Thanks Bruce and Maynard for letting me ride along. It worked out great.

Wednesday December 29

We were all up early to play golf. Tee off time was 8. I hit some balls at the driving range because Bruce, Maynard and I were in the last 4 some. It was good to play even if I didn't shoot real well. I think I shot a 47 ther first round ... and about a 60 the second. ouch!! Maynard has scored better than Bruce every round that they have played and they've played 18 holes everyday. After golf we planned to go to Boca Chica beach and eat a picnic lunch. Wisely, we decided to eat at Four Seasons and just go to the beach. It was so windy that we would have surely eaten SANDwichs. Bruce Henderson was no wimp. He headed straight into the chilly water and Maynard joined him. You can see them in the water. Now Bruce N. ran along the side of the water. I guess he did go somewhat in. We hadn't eaten very much this week .... HaHa ... so Bruce N. took us out to eat at the Golden Corral for supper. Gail, Nancy, and I toured Matt and Audry's home. More games at night.
