Random

So I was going to try to post more often therefor making my posts shorter and taking less time to write. It was all good until last week. Sigh. So random this will be.....as thoughts and events come to mind to share.

• No, not this year, not even close!

This came up in my FB memories from two years ago.

Things are nowhere that pretty yet this year.

• Sunday, October 14 was youth Sunday at church.....meaning the kids were in charge of the service. How nice. Several of our grandchildren took part. 

There's Grands Zoe and Paityn helping to lead worship.

(not a great pic, cell phone)

And that's all I was able to be part of.

I was on nursery duty so I missed the  scripture readings by Aidan and Paityn.

I heard it was a great service.

• Several weeks ago on a Saturday evening, my 45th high school class reunion was held. Yes, I am that old!! I was part of the planning committee.....it was work, it was so neat working with the two other ladies on the committee, it was amazing seeing it all come together! I only took three very bad pictures with my cell phone. My good camera was there but with all that was going on I didn't remember till it was too late. Ugh. 

We met in a fabulous barn.

had a wonderful catered dinner

and loved every minute of it!

These four classmates blessed us with several songs.

A cappella, of course!

In 1973 at our Mennonite high school no instruments were used, not allowed!

Our classmate, Bob, shared a very touching message.

He said he was nervous....

I thought, me too!

I was the MC, something I certainly don't do very often.

The highlight of the evening was singing four hymns from memory.

Of course, four part harmony 

and no accompanying instruments.

It was amazing!!

Our class knows how to sing.

• Look at this cute little thing....

It's a small Keurig, 

holds water for 3 mugs, brews the hottest coffee....

and how about that amazing color?!!

It resides in our basement living room

and gets lots of use.

• Look what hubby started last week.

All that dark stained wood in our living room

 is getting a fresh coat of paint....

so are the walls.

I'll keep you posted...

got the paint today while it was still 40% off.

Excited!!

New flooring will come later, maybe a winter job?

• Last Friday the kids didn't have school. I took them to see the movie, Christopher Robin, which is now being shown at the discount theater....$3 a ticket. Works for me.

Popcorn, of course!

This kid fell asleep during the movie.

Maybe a good thing since he was asking if it was over before it barely started!

After the movie they were hungry!

To Mc D's we went.

I never go there so I was clueless.

It took forever to order!

Enjoying it!

• Later that night Ellen and I went to her friend Marissa's house for a campfire and smores.  

SO nice!!

Enjoying herself =)

• My little helper....

He's a cutie!

• More flowers received for recovering Christy (who is doing great, by the way).

So pretty but we don't know who sent them. 

This bouquet is from our church.....so cute!!

• Time to wrap this up with one more picture.

I bought this wreath many years ago.

The pic on the left was after I changed the original bow 

and added some fall leaves.

The middle pic was last year when I added some white.

Right pic is this year, another bow change....

green and gold this time. 

I love changing things!

Take care, stay warm! Fall has arrived in PA!

Leaves will get the message soon.
