So my friends and family can be up on life here in GR

'But be sure to fear the Lord and serve him faithfully with all your heart; consider what great things he has done for you.'
1 Samuel 12.24

We did it!

Peter and I made it through our summer list with just a few days to spare!

Friday night we crashed our friend's anniversary celebration and joined them at Ruth's Chris - oolala I know! No photos, so you'll have to believe me based on the aroma of butter I'm sure I still carry. And we havent quite brought ourselves to tossing the to-go bag, so you could see that sitting on our counter for evidence too.

Saturday morning was a ladies starter at church, these are always the lovliest time. After breakfast a few of us hit the outlets. I hope that when I'm Aunt Barb's age I'm also making purchases at J Crew.



Sunday night brought a rousing night of games with our youth groupies. I was successfully out Sequenced twice in a row by Morgan while Peter spent most of his time trying to corner the market in Pitt.



In the in between we enjoyed beautiful weather, football, and continue to improve our fighting position at home.

A full weekend

Friday night Peter had a softball tournament, but more importantly there were bunnies there! 
Including baby ones. 
I had to remind Peter we have kitten whom he routinely tells to 'kill' so a bunny might not fair well...



There was also the most spectacular double rainbow sighting, really unreal!

Saturday was a full morning of errand running to all the best little local places, you can hardly hate it. Plus when I got home, I had the most fabulous delivery on my porch. UPS could really learn a thing or two when it comes to adding the extra touches.

Saturday evening we were able to dine with friends, so sweet! and Slows bbq was muy bien too!

And now we're off to the races again!

Labor Day expressed by Madge

Friday we headed right out to South Haven after work. It was good weather and the MSU Sparties managed a win. We were all glued to the TV, like this:


Saturday was stormy most of the day. We mosied around town a bit, took in a craft show, and celebrated a birthday in the evening.

Cake?!  Cobbler.

Sunday was preschool chapel with the cherubs and a potluck at night. So good to gather in the house of the Lord with his people, refreshing.

Monday I really had my act togezza and managed to make breakfast!


And then it was back to lazyville, and watching the US Open! which was perfecto!

Now, we're into bleak stretch #2. No paid holidays for nearly 3 months. 
At least it's Autumn, with football, and beautiful colors!

Tiny Hat on Cat

Happy Bird-Day Madge!!!
She wishes it had been bird-day, she wishes every day were bird-day :)

She certainly would rather have had a bird than a hat....too bad, you're the house cat for our enjoyment!

She clearly gets enjoyment too.

So now the great debate is whether or not we can still call her 'Kitten'
