Oct. 7, 2008 - Over the Weekend
Well, we had planned to go to the harvest festival at Homestead Hollow on Friday but, unfortunately, those plans fell through. It just didn't seem to be a good day for anyone in our small group to go. The kids were disappointed, of course, that they had to do schoolwork instead of taking a field trip but it was a good life-lesson. Sometimes things just don't work out the way we plan, right? We will try to make the Christmas in the Country festival in November.
Saturday was a beautiful day for soccer. Levi's team played early and Kyle's game was postponed so we had the rest of the day free. I baked a cake from scratch for my husband's birthday and, I have to admit, it turned out great! It was a cocoa cake with cocoa fudge frosting. Yummm!
I went by myself to check out our new Books-a-Million at the Mall Saturday evening and I had such a great time. I just lost all track of time and ended up spending about three hours there. I could have stayed another three hours but I received two calls from home while I was there so I thought I should go. I'll save the rest of the store for another day. Coffee and books just go so well together! 
Sunday was my husband's birthday and we celebrated by going out to eat after church. It was a nice, although busy, day. We also attended a funeral that afternoon for a member of our church. As of last weekend, he and his sweet wife had been married for 67 years! That's commitment! I think she will be lonely now that her husband is gone. Can you imagine taking care of someone for 67 years and then, one day, they're gone? 
Until next time...
