Sad, Sad Day

We went to a funeral this morning - the 37 year old son of friends of ours. He was killed in an automobile accident while on business in Minnesota last Sunday. We didn't realize he had been in the Army for 8 years, and thus the Patriot Guard was on hand. What a beautiful service! I am proud to know his wonderful parents, and pray that God is with them as they suffer this horrific loss.

We also had a nice visit with mom today. She showed me her new watch. My brother and sister-in-law took her shopping to Walmart last Saturday and she bought the watch and a pair of shoes. She doesn't get out much anymore, so it was nice for her to go shopping.

The boys are having a Video Game/Nerd party tonight. Corby and I went out to eat at Abuelo's (one of my favorite places) and then wandered through World Market. Boy I could spend a lot of money there!

We are how hibernating in the basement while the wild party goes on above us. Oh, to be young again. They have so much energy. I just want to take a nap!

Oh my gosh, Linda, that was Zach Tanner wasn't it? I remember seeing his obit and immediately felt sad. Given the fact that he was my age, I'm pretty sure that he is the same Zach Tanner that I knew in elementary school. And if I remember right, his grandma lived next door to me on Santa Fe when I was a kid. I hadn't seen him since elementary school but remember that he was always such a nice boy. He was a cutie, dark hair, and brown eyes. That is so sad.

Fun times with Lenore

While Lenore and Daniel were here, she had a library book panel at the Johnson County Library in Overland Park. So, on Tuesday afternoon, November 27th, Lenore, her friend Rachelle and I took off for KC. We had a great time visiting on the way up and back, and I didn't get tired at all driving! We stopped for a quick bite to eat at Arby's and filled up with gas at QT before heading to the library. It was an interesting panel featuring Bethany Hagen, author of Landry Park, which comes out next year; Gennifer Albin, author of Crewel, which was released a few months ago; and Lenore, whose book will be released on January 15. Here's the panel: Me & Lenore: Lenore & Rachelle: Gennifer, Bethany and Lenore

K-STATE WINS!

K-STATE beat KU! AWESOME! It was a tense game. Corby is a huge KU fan, and even having a son at K-State hasn't changed that. I am happy when any Kansas team does well; but I had to root for K-State tonight. If the Jayhawks had to lose, I'm glad it was to K-State. Michael Beasley is a great player, and my only concern is that he will leave after his freshman year and go pro. WAY TO GO CATS!
