Fall Break is Here!

Fall break, or any break that Will comes home, means that the gang is here. And I love it! I'm trying to upload photos, but I saved them in a different file when I took them off my camera, and now I can't find them. Why don't I just keep doing things the way I know it works??? I get different pop-up questions when I plug in my camera now, and so I think I'll do something different. Argh! Different isn't always better, it's just different! (Obviously I figured it out and fixed it. Ah!)

We have had a fun, full weekend. Rain, rain and more rain, though. Friday night's football game with BOTH of my boys there was great, and the fact that their alma mater played the best game of the year and WON made it even better. Andrew and friends went to Vala's Pumpkin Patch, in the rain. (It began raining as soon as the game ended!) This photo was saved in a different place! While Andrew was with his crowd, Will's crowd came over here. That is James and all the girls from the class. One of the girls now has a boyfriend, too, so he and James were watching football downstairs while Will and the girls were making caramel apples in the kitchen. Photos coming....

Saturday Andrew and Den had some plumbing jobs to do for me. And we were tearing out a closet in our, what is now shall I say, the media room. TV, computer, stereo......a guy thing, you know. It was a terrible day, weather-wise. Will's friends came again, only this time they bought pumpkins and spread them out on the dining room table to carve. I'll have to get one of them to send me photos of the finished products.

Sunday worship was great. Refreshing. Another dark, rainy day, but a stab of sunlight at sunset gave us a brilliant rainbow! Ah, that was marvelous! Harold and Beth came to share their Saturday evening leftovers with us. Yummy! Beth and I discussed how I can rearrange and decorate the downstairs, while Harold and Den either watched the football game or slept! At least Harold could drive home! *smile*! Friends who know H. will understand this comment!!!

Today Will needs to renew his driver's license. We went on Friday afternoon--BIG MISTAKE. It was packed. He now understands the inefficiency of government bureaucracy! We decided to try a different time!

The weather creates an atmosphere for hot tea and a good book or a movie. Not unlike Christmas break. Now where's the tea....

I'm drinking tea. I didn't have to go to the DMV to renew my driver's license. I just wrote them a letter and they sent me a new one. I like that the photo of the pumpkins has Will's face in the mirror, looks cool. I wish my fall break had been Mon and Tues, it was Thurs and Fri which did me no good whatsoever, just meant I got to miss my hour and fifteen minute Thursday class. I have Fridays off anyway.

It looks like the only plumbing Dennis is doing is that sandwich is going straight to his mouth.
