Beautiful Fall Weekend

Friday, during my lunchbreak at school, Mom invited me and Bill to come for dinner. With her housekeeper's help, she had made some more chicken with potatoes and carrots. When I told Mom that we would love to come, she made a peach cobbler to go with ice cream and wore herself out! She was suffering with back pain when we arrived. Bill and I took over, set the table and cleaned up after dinner.

Saturday, we had thunderstorms most of the day. I enjoyed watching our squirrels run to get acorns that were being blown off of our oak trees between the downpours. We spent the morning on the phone with Keri and Kelli who were orchestrating the final move from the Michigan cottage. The move is finished now, and we will sign the closing papers on the sale this week. About 4 p.m. Bill and I went to the $1.50 theater in Shawnee and saw, "The Sourcer's Apprentice". It is a Disney movie and a take off from "Fantasia". The downtown Shawnee streets were crowded with children and their parents who were trick-or-treating the businesses. Next weekend, the kids will all be in Tecumseh.

This morning, we had great Bible Study class! Another young couple joined us. The husband is from Brazil. We read many scriptures where Jesus proclaimed that He is God and is the only way to heaven. Again, Jesus is God, or He was an incredible liar. We all make the choice. Our guest speaker during worship was a fellow from Mexico who is beginning a Spanish Bible study in our church. After worship, we had choir practice for Christmas. We have 16 members.

We were so hungry after choir, that we headed for Wendy's. They have the best Baja Salad! After eating, we went to the Pumpkin Patch and bought a big round one for Bill to carve. He does this for me every year. I guess it's the kid in us! I really love the fall season, and thank God for colorful leaves, and beautiful skies!
