Ketchup, anyone?



It's obviously time to play Catch-up around here. Last time I was here we had just returned from three days in South Dakota. Hmmmm....a few things have happened since then. The day we returned, Lancy's visa for Thailand arrived in the mail. She had been waiting for that to make her return flight to Thailand. That was a Friday...she left on the next Tuesday. Mario also had a flight out on Tuesday to Portugal, so I drove them both to the airport in Denver. That is a looooong trip for one day (4 1/2 hours each way). Janelle spent the night with Rose in order to be able to get to school the next day, and Taylor and LiAnne went with us to the airport. We left at 4:30 in the morning, dropped them off at the airport, and headed back. The last hour it was hard to keep awake, and I was glad to have the two kids in the backseat to keep me going.

Richard spent four weeks working in Gillette, about 2 1/2 hours north of here. Caleb and Matt had a big project at their work, and Richard was hired as an independent contractor to help. They left Monday morning at 4:00, and returned Friday nights around 9:00 for four weeks, working over 60 hours each week. Richard enjoyed working with the boys.

Last Wednesday I started a job as Wednesday night cook at our church. We have been attending Wednesday night dinners since I arrived in March, and then the kids go to Awana, teen Bible study, and adult Bible study afterwards. The lady who had been cooking got married in June, and the church was looking for someone to take the job, so I applied. Last week went well. I fixed Popover Pizza, green beans, salad and brownies for 103 people. Tomorrow will be chicken enchiladas, ranch beans, corn and banana bars. I did have some pictures, but Taylor and LiAnne were playing with my camera the other day and erased all of my week's pictures. I'll try to get some tomorrow.
