It was another early morning since I brought a friend down to CU this
morning.  Today, we really scooted along and got here almost right
at 8:00 am.  I’m a bit tired.  I don’t have a lot of prep
work to do for this week since it’s Thanksgiving, so I’ll just goof
around in my office for a bit, I guess.

The weekend was busy, but pretty good.  We saw Stranger than Fiction
on Friday night (Will Farrell hears a narrator’s voice).  That is
actually a really good movie…not a typical Will Farrell movie at
all.  We both really enjoyed it. Next, we have to see the new Bond
movie, I think.

Saturday was a lazy, laid-back day for us.  I goofed around in the
morning, went for a walk with Eric, got ready for the day and ate lunch
(about 1:00), then headed to Cedarville for Kelly’s birthday
party.  We watched the game (that was a bit too tense in
places!  But it’s okay because they won. )
around the various parts of the party: dinner was during halftime,
presents were during the end of halftime and part of the 3rd quarter,
cake & ice cream after the game ended.  Kelly liked her gifts,
so that was fun.  She’s old enough now to figure out the whole
concept of “It’s all about me today!” so she was enjoying being the
center of attention again, too! 

The funniest part was Holly, though.  At one point in the second
half of the game, we cheered loudly for something on the television,
and Holly looked up, suprised by our shout.  She saw us clapping
and grinned, thinking we were cheering for her…which, of course, we
then did!  So every cheer for OSU, after that, turned into a cheer
for Holly.  It was very cute!

Sunday was church (including an 8:00 am arrival for orchestra
rehearsal), then a meeting in second service.  Then we had dinner
(sausage gravy over homemade bread).  We relaxed for a while, and
then I got some work done (cleaned the kitchen, made snacks for small
group, started the laundry, and worked on Christmas).  Then after
a light supper, we headed to small group and stayed around chatting
afterwards…so we didn’t get home until almost 10:00.  But it was
a good day, anyway!
