We had a full but fun day today. I worked all morning, and Kelly worked on some of her home-school and co-op projects before having lunch with Ashly. I got home first and got the boys something to eat, then got busy with some household chores. Kelly and I took turns watching Hempfield maintenance crews repair Wren Drive about 3 houses down. There were enough trucks with machinery to repave the entire plan! I think you could have buried a car in the place they repaved. We were being ‘Gladys Kravitz’ again!

Nate, Jen and Chris came over for pizza, and we spent a really nice 2 hours eating and talking and laughing together. Logan and Chase did not – however – move from their designated spots that they have been in since Sunday at 3pm! I do think I saw them use the bathroom once or twice, and they both got showers today. But other than that…

Memory book – October 20th: Share a favorite fall memory. “For years we always tried to drive to the mountains. Your father liked Bedford & Myersdale. That is still my favorite time of the year. This year, 2005, was beautiful & a nice long fall season. We have gum trees, which are very beautiful early in the fall.” I’m a summer person, but I do like the beauty of the fall trees!

On this day in 1512 Martin Luther became a doctor of theology, and in 1781 the British surrendered to George Washington and Comte de Rochambeau at Yorktown at 2pm, ending the revolutionary war. That’s it for today – short day!

Tomorrow is also a full moon, although tonight’s moon is round and bright and beautiful. It’s a clear, cool night and very peaceful. Enjoy – and God bless~~~
