When I got home Friday, Ruby was delighted to see me! The feelings were mutual! I missed that dog! We went for a walk to the pond and the smell was incredible as the wind picked up the hot dirt and bean dust mix. That is fall! :) When we ventured to the pond, I wasn't expecting what I saw. The pond is low. The new shore line is a good 6-8 feet from where it should be. We finally turned back and I took a trip to Gramps & Grammy's. They were busy getting things ready for the winter. I helped with the fences and holding gates. There is still a terrible smell coming from their bin from the fire over 3 weeks ago. I got Gramps talked into going to the football game with me. It had been a while since I'd been able to go to one, and I wanted to go to one where I knew they wouldn't get murdered. As much as I love my Cobras, everyone with any sense knows that they are going to get KILLED next week at Regina. This was the lowest attended football gams I've been to in a VERY long time, and it was even Senior Night! None the less, it was a blast! Great job on scoring within the first 5 minutes!! I naturally had to make my rounds and see who I could see. I ran into Driscoll, Mrs. Webb, Julie Tremmel, and Mousel. Julie and I joked about living North of I-80 and why anyone in their right mind would want to do that because it gets so stinking cold! I told her I had layered up for the game and planned on taking plenty of clothes back with me. Honestly, I can't even tell you how the game ended because with 7 minutes left of the 3rd quarter, the Cobras were winning 50-7 and the cold wind had picked up. Gramps and I called ahead for popcorn and it was good to share a bowl with the grandparents.
Saturday brought rain, and thankfully, lots of it! :) By the end of the weekend it was right about 2 inches. I got Dad talked into going to the top of the garage for some of my books and stuffed animals. While I didn't find the books I wanted, I did find a lot of great treasures, including 3 of my FAVORITE stuffed animals as a kid! :)
Sadly, I don't think Simba will ever talk again because of the whole battery corrosion thing that comes with sitting in the garage for a good 10 years or more. I didn't know they were going to get put away for so long! Naturally, I had to bring them back to CF! :) Saturday also brought time, lots of time, with my niece and nephew. Bryan and Sonya came to lunch and then Alex and Blake spent the night. This is where I should apologize on behalf of my very mature older brother for the obnoxious statuses yesterday that didn't sound at all like me. That's what brothers are for, right? He also tried to scare me by showing me a trailer for a movie and telling me all the sneaky things Blake does. It was actually a very good afternoon. It had been so long since I'd seen them! Why would Blake want to take a nap when he was spending time with me? Because of the whole lack of nap thing, he practically fell asleep at supper, but then was a stinker when it came time to rock to sleep. After getting a sleepy Alex from the couch to the bed, it was time for me to crawl under the covers too.
Blake likes to play opossum as I found out this morning. He can also now crawl out of the playpen. We headed to church and he had a great time in the nursery with Audra and Meredith! :) I love coming home and going to church. I love being back home with my church family who have supported me through the years. I love them all dearly, and it is always good to be welcomed back! :) On the way back home, we slipped by Gramps & Grammy's because she had made me some goodies as usual. :) Finally though, it was time to give the kids back, load up a car, and hit the long road back to the city. The big difference this time was the car. I left in Dad's car because mine needs work bad and I don't have to time to leave it anywhere. I really need my car to work well for a little while longer. Hopefully, in the next 2 weeks, I won't lose the car because I forget that I drive it now, and I hope that college isn't too hard on it since it is usually babied in the garage. Welcome to the C lot! :)
I love weekends no matter how many layers, inches, or diapers they involve! :)
