I slept on the sofa in the movie room. It was more comfortable on the sofa than on the pull out bed. There were energy bites. 4 for runners and 3 for spectators, (unless you were Kane and took some whenever anyone offered them to him.) The 3 pony express runners left for St. Joseph about 7 am. Mandy ran the 5K. Luke and Matt ran the half marathon 13.1 miles in less than 2 hours. We were there for the start of the race. We had fun driving to see the runners. Karen and Jason navigated, Becky drove. The rest of us got out and cheered. After the race we went home and had sandwiches and naps. Sadly, Piper got into some rat poison, but parents caught it soon enough that no damage done. Torren and I went to play catch with the football. We left for the game about 10 minutes before Matt first told us. Kids loved the jump houses. The game wasn't going the best for the Griffins so we went home at half time. For some reason Matt and Luke were tired. Second half the team played well and won the game. After Becky got home we ate great chili that she had made. We also loved the peppered up pretzel recipe. Oh yes and the cookie bars ... with frosting... and Haley's avocado glac. We did not lack for food, very very good food. Haley took the 6 cracker challagne in 1 minutes from Jason. All were happily in bed by 10:15. Just tuckered out.
For over 50 years my mom, Bernice Newhouse, kept a journal, usually in spiral notebooks with the year written on the outside. Mom died in April 2008. In December 2008 my son, Luke, tried to get me into the 21st century with a blog site. This is kind of in remembrance of Mom and an update for my kids of my day to day life. Nothing exciting or noteworthy...I'm just thankful to God for all He has given me. What a great Lord we have.
