Another One Bites the Dust

As the song goes, so does the weekend.  Another one bites the dust.  Boy, it just seems like it was Friday afternoon.  We had a great weekend.  Yesterday, I told you about the white squirrels and the pumpkin patch.  Today we got up and went to church.  It was what we call "herd" communion.  That is where you just walk out of your pew, walk down the aisle, at the front where it opens up to the alter Pastor stands.  There he passes out the wafers and blesses you.  You turn and head back to your seat across the front of the church and an elder is there giving you the wine.  It is like cattle herding into a cattle car.  They say it goes faster, but to us it does not feel like communion.  Before church began, we were sitting up at the front settling in.  Aubree looked up and saw Mike in the choir loft.  She yells, "Uncle Mike."  That is the first time any of the kids yelled in church.  After church, we went to Grandma's for dinner.  It was Mike's birthday celebration.  It was nice.  There was a crowd:  Grandma, Grandpa, Steve, Amelia, Koleen, Dot, Aubree, Mike, Lorna, Kyle and Kaleb.  It is always a good time when we get together.

Steve made it through church and dinner.  After that, he hit the chair in Grandma's front room and was out. He slept through Tinker Toys and loud laughs.  He woke up and we headed home.  When we got home, he took another nap.  He is still resting now.  Church and dinner wore him out.  His stomach has not bothered him today.  He ate a great meal.

Koleen left after dinner and headed back to Columbia.  It was so nice that she and Dot came for the weekend.  We had a great time.  I sure do miss her!  Hopefully, she will be coming home for Thanksgiving.

We Skyped Elizabeth in Prague yesterday.  She was getting ready to go out for the evening.  She said she is having fun.  She is sure seeing a lot of sites.

Still having issues uploading pictures.
