"Your closet is like a mini-mall"







Had a good day Saturday with Cora, Hannah, and Nolan. We fed all the animals we could find--the deer, geese, llamas, ducks, and buffalo at the Veterans' Home and the fish at the cemetery pond. Aunt Sam sent a bag of dollar store toys and crafts that kept the kids busy while I took a short nap. I think they are just as happy with the dollar store toys as the expensive ones! Then Cora told me my closet was like shopping in a mini-mall. I asked her if she found anything she liked, so she and Hannah picked out hats and purses, and they found a hat for Nolan too. We finished the day with Cora making mac and cheese and "fancy sandwiches" for all of us, and Hannah made the brownies. They are getting pretty good in the kitchen. Blake's team won their game in Belleville, and he had 3 good shots on goal. Next time maybe one will go in!
On Sunday I went to the first of four meetings to prepare for TEC # 254 on Oct. 4-6. Saw lots of friends from past TECs and have a good feeling for this one. Getting candidates is the big challenge for the October TEC. Fall sports, homecomings, farm harvest, all seem to keep this weekend in jeopardy. So there was a big effort to organize recruiting for the weekend. I am giving the Paschal Mystery talk. Will get started on it tomorrow, as I have to preview it to the group next Sunday.
Tony had an accident yesterday--working on the back yard fence and somehow hit himself in the eye with the plyers (sp?). He made a trip to the ER where they told him he had a deep abrasion and recommended he see the opthomologist today. So he went to Dr. Sieck today, and he is wearing a patch and has to go back tomorrow. They dosed him with antibiotic eye meds, and he hopefully has no permanent damage.
