I haven't had a lot of time to write as of late so I'd like to take this evening to catch everyone up on all that has been happening around here. Today, bright and early, Becky's mom came over to help clean the house. I thought she was just coming over to help out with laundry, but man did she work. Looks like she scrubbed the kitchen floor, did laundry, did dishes, straightened up the mud room and tons of other things. Thank you!!! Thank you!!! It was a huge load off. Later, my aunt Dorothea brought over pizza for dinner. It was great!!!!! We are pretty lucky to have family that is here for us any time we need anything.
Last weekend Becky and I got up early for a Saturday and headed down to a little Mennonite grocery store called Planktown Market. I had never been there before, but Becky said she used to go there with her grandma and mom when she was a little girl. It was pretty cool. They had like seventy-five different kinds of deli meats and cheese, every kind of canned goods, bulk bags of sugar, flour, oats. All kinds of stuff that you don't see in the everyday grocery store. We bought some yeast and some kielbasa and sauerkraut. We'll definitely go down there again.
After we left Planktown Market, we headed to Wellington to pick up some hay for Sugar and Nemo for the winter. We picked up the twelve bales of hay and hurried back to the house. It was about one when we got back and Becky's cousin was playing volleyball in Norwalk at two so I hurried up and unloaded the hay into the barn. Throwing twelve bales up overhead by yourself is a workout let me tell you. Holy Smokes!
We went to the volleyball game, which was nice because we got to visit shortly with Becky's uncle and aunt who live in Toledo. The volleyball game was pretty fun to watch as well. It was two Division I schools competing-those girls could play!!!
After the game was over (Becky's cousins team-Toledo St. Ursula won by the way) we went to my mom's for Spaghetti and meatballs and then I headed off to the Western Reserve football game. It was freezing, but bundled up and toting my Thermos full of coffee I managed to survive. The Roughriders, as you all know by now, did not fare so well. They had a great year and finished the regular season 10-0. This was the first time since 1984 that Western had advanced to the playoffs. Roughriders everywhere, young and old, can hold their heads high. I can't wait 'till next season to see what they can do. GO BIG BLUE!!!!
Tomorrow we don't have any major plans, but there is still a lot of work that needs done around here. I've got some clean up to do outside still, and with the weather expected to be nice and warm on Saturday I need to attack that first thing. I'd like to pull some more vines off of the barn and burn them. I also need to get the garage cleaned out enough that we can park the van inside during the winter.
Well, I'm getting tired and I'm going to get to bed, but I will try to post again tomorrow for everyone. Good night all.
