Sunday News

Well, our morning started off differently than we planned.  We got up and got ready to go to church.  Right before we left for church, Grandma called and said it was canceled.  Apparently, some crazy man broke into the school and vandalized it.  While he was doing the vandalism, he pulled the fire alarm.   The authorities were notified and Freistatt was packed with First Responders, Sheriff, and Highway Patrol.  They said the crook ran off on foot with a shotgun.  They told everyone to go back home and lock the doors.  So, we stayed home from church.  We did go to Grandma's for lunch.  It was Mike's birthday dinner.  He turns 57 this week.

ME ME MEEEEE!  Happy Birthday to you!

After dinner and the excellent brown sugar angle food cake, they boys went out to try Steve's new crossbow.  I must confess they all shot well.  Everyone hit the target, even me.  Michael did the best.  He actually hit the exact spot we were aiming for.  Sorry, Kyle.  Steve had a wonderful time shooting with Mike, Kyle, Grandpa and me.

After we came home, we went to Aurora's Walmart.  You know going with Steve is like taking a little kid.  I end up with more in my cart than I would have normally picked up.  The nice thing is, he is feeling well enough that he helped me load and unload the cart of groceries.  Like I said he is feeling well.  He did not even have a nap today.  Of course, he is feeling a little worse tonight.  He is really tired and sore since he didn't rest.  He will sleep well tonight.

Yesterday we had an unwanted visitor in the front yard.  It was at least 5 feet long.  Aubree was really freaking out.  What is the deal with us and snakes?  I think we must have a vacancy sign in the grass.  This afternoon Aubree and I filled the bird feeders.  We are hoping with the cold front coming through this week, the birds will come along too.  We put out sunflower seeds and thistle.  Bring on our feathered friends.
