Special happy anniversary wishes to my mom and dad, Dale & Joanne. If I've calculated right, this is your 44th right? Wow! Are you really old enough to be married that long? Thanks for being a good example to us younger married "kids".
God blessed us with another beautiful day. It doesn't get much better than this! Sunny, 80 degrees with a breeze. Perfect! Today was my day off so it was even more perfect! I ran some errands, did all the laundry, picked up the house, cleaned out part of the refrigerator... can you say "mystery supper?" Hummmm, I guess we haven't been too good at eating left-overs lately.
Quinn tells me he got an A on his spelling test. That's good news. He was also VERY EXCITED about their "bartering day". They are starting to learn basics in economics... the history of money exchange etc... so today they each took something from home with the intention of bartering for something else. He took an F-16 airplane (I was very shocked~since his airplanes are his pride and joy) but he was THRILLED when he walked in the door and showed me a big Blackbird Jet that he bartered for... so one airplane for another but boy was he ever happy about it! He was talking a mile a minute!
Madison had a good day too but wasn't nearly as exuberant about it as Quinn was. She told me the highlight of her day was PE... they played softball I guess. She loves to tease her PE teacher who is a big Michigan fan. She wears an Iowa shirt on PE days and even brought in the Iowa fight song on a CD and somehow got him to play it this last week!
We are dog sitting for the weekend for Dutchess, Don & Isy's dog. They went to Mackinaw Island with Isy's brother and some of their friends. I guess they have free lodging, a free ride and couldn't pass it up. I've never even been there.
Well, hope you all have a wonderful weekend. We want to take the boat out this weekend but between soccer games, football games, church and a birthday party, it's looking doubtful. We got some letters to put "The Hawkeye" name on the side of the boat. I wonder how to get them on straight.....?
Love to all,
Leah
