My Week In Review

Sunday.....Oct.5

Ken went out of town on a business trip to Miami, Florida this week. he was attending a boat show where Fiamm had a booth and display of their horns and products. Sunday morning our good friend Diane Cooper picked me up for church and I went with her to Temple Hill Baptist Church in Cadillac. It was so nice to see many people whom we have been friends with for a very long time. Two of those friends are Don and Hilma Lamphere who stopped by last to cut some of our hydrangea flowers so Hilma could make a wreath. Well......here it is....and it's absolutely gorgeous!!! Thank you Don and Hilma for making this for us....and for your sweet friendship!!! When they brought the arrangement this week....I was able to talk Hilma into spending a little more time at the house so she and I could play some piano duets.....and sing together! What fun we had! And....it was a special treat for my parents, who had come on Monday to spend the week with Joel and me.

Sunday after church.....Jason, Emily and the kids came over for the day!

The weather was pretty mild.....so we spent lots of time outside.

Tuesday, Oct.7

Heidi sent some adorable pictures of the kids for us! We are planning on going to Jenison the end of October........but that is still toooooo long in between visits for us....so Heidi sends pictures in the interim! Our grandchildren are growing so fast! We can't wait to see them!

Wednesday, October 8.......Isaac's 5th Birthday

We all went to Jason and Emily's to celebrate Isaac's birthday. We took a family bucket of KFC, and Emily baked a cake. Here are some pics from the time we spent together. Since Ken was out of town he called Isaac up to wish him a special day!

Thursdays With Grandma......and Great Grandma and Great Grandpa

I didn't take many pictures today.....but would like to highlight the days' activities!! When the boys arrived, Isaac showed me some more of his birthday gifts that he received from Stephanie and Ben, and the items he got at the AWANA store at church. he is a Sparky now! He played with those things and visited with Great Grandma, while Seth played a memory game with Great Grandpa. About mid-morning Seth took a nap....and Isaac did his homeschooling. My Mom was delighted to watch him do his work and the two of them had some fascinating conversations! One of the conversations involved age!

Here's how it went:

Isaac "Grandma, your skin is wrinkly, why?"

Mom: "Well Isaac, that's because I'm old"

Isaac: "oh....well how old are you?

Mom: "I am 83 years old"

Isaac: "How old is Great Grandpa?"

Mom: "He is 84"

Isaac: "Well if you are 83 and Great Grandpa is 84....then he is older than you!"

Mom: "That's right!!"

My Mom was surprised at Isaac's' ability to figure that out.....and quite amused.....well maybe except for the wrinkly skin!!

Great Grandpa helping Seth with his shoes. Normally Seth does not need help with his shoes....but somehow the back was bent down on the right foot...and Grandpa needed to maneuver it a little bit.

Well here it is Friday already!! Ken got home early Thursday evening, Mom and Dad went back to Onekama, Joel is in school, and I just spent close to 2 hours working on this update!!

Whew.....(if that's a word?).....I am glad to be done! Have a wonderful weekend everyone! It sounds like the weather is going to beautiful for Fall colors! Personally.....after a short snooze, I can't wait to get outside!
