I really have tried to post in the last week or so, but I was using my phone and it was NOT cooperating! I type several lines and then it closes out the blog app. Very, very annoying.
All in all, my phone annoys me. The battery only last a few hours now. I've even tried to order a new one and Wal-Mart was the one that didn't cooperate. On-line they cancelled the order and in person they didn't have the right "sim" card.
For right now I'm stuck with a phone that does NOT want to hold a battery charge...or let me use some of my apps...and that freezes... First world problems, right?
So. Back to what I WAS trying to post!
Ben - high school soccer is alive and well - and keeping us busy. There was talk among the coaches about playing Ben on varsity, but by the time of the first real (not a scrimmage) game they decided to just have him on junior varsity. Which is TOTALLY fine with us. Being on JV means he play just about the whole game. Being on varsity means playing only a little. I do think that IF he plays well, then when the JV season ends he'll be moved up to varsity for the last weeks of it's season (which is about two more weeks).
Melissa - is flying home as I type. For her 18th b-day she wanted to go sky-diving. Which for a brief few days, we actually thought about letting her do. But a friend that was a para-jumper in the Army talked us out of it. I'm sure at some point in her life, she will jump out of a perfectly good airplane. We just want her to be older. And for her to pay for it. As her "cancelation" prize, she got a plane ticket to see her best friend from Guam that now lives in St. Louis. This was the first time she traveled by herself. And I think she's enjoyed every bit of it. I'm so looking forward to hearing all about her trip tonight when she gets home.
William - he's home from college and totally relaxing...sleeping and playing video games to all hours at night. We supposedly have our internet to turn off at 9:45 pm, but we have a sneaky suspension that the boys have figured out a way around our limits.
Other happenings...we hosted several dinners in the last weeks. One for the office - have a great time! One for friend as a baby shower and card game. I did have good time at that one, too, but was annoyed when people didn't RSVP!! urggg. I knew they probably won't do that, so I put "regrets only". And still. People didn't. So, we have over a dozen baked potatoes left from our bake potato bar which I made into potato casserole Sunday after church. As Drew said: at least it wasn't some too expensive.
And I've been working on a tee-shirt quilt for a niece. I'm almost done with the piecing. Today I bought the fabric for the back and the batting. As I was working on it last week, I misjudged pin placement and the needle went through my finger. Yes, there was blood . And yes, it hurt. And thankfully, I'm good with my tetanus shot. I did NOT go to the doctor as I was able to pull the tip of the needle out myself....but thought for a moment I would have to bug a neighbor to help me....
That's life here...we are all looking forward to Thanksgiving with all the family!!
