Weekend Update

In no particular order:

(1) Painted 40,000 watercolor paintings with Grammy and Grandpa.
(2) Visited the Widmer Cheese Factory for Chris and Grandpa stock up on stinky, aged brick cheese.
(3) Went boot skating in the woods behind our park.
(4) Went to Random Lake to watch the ice fishermen.
(5) Ate cake and opened presents.
(6) Ate too much soup at our church's annual "Souper Dinner".
(7) Watched Nature with the big girls last night. It has recently become a Sunday night tradition.
(8) Chris and my father-in-law moved a bedroom set from George's house to ours. (George was a dear friend in our congregation who passed away last February. His daughters generously asked if we wanted anything from his house.)
(9) Friday night was our circuit's Epiphany Party. All the circuit pastors and their families were invited and it was good to talk with everyone in attendance. The kids came home tired and sweaty from playing in the church basement. I think everyone had a great time.
(10) My father-in-law insisted that we wash and vacuum our van. Imagine that! So, he helped. I now drive a non-raisin-cheerio laden van.
(11) Chris and his father played lots of ping pong in the church basement. A few games of Trouble were played too.
(12) Lots of book reading all around!

I've not been to Widmers; I'll have to be sure to get out there next time I'm in Wisconsin!

I like Gibbsville because they sell cut-off ends, shrink-wrapped, for something like $2/pound. They call it "mystery cheese" but it's all good cheese!
