Okay, so saturday a surprise birthday party for my wife. And guess what? Since no one told me about it, and at last moment I was rushed out of house to get there prior to my wife, I did not bring our camera. So I took no pictures. And come to find out, except for a few pictures here and there, not too many were actually taken. Some of the kids took lots of pictures, but they were like close ups, as in your face and click. Now waiting for everyone to send us whatever pictures they took, and have to pick up the daughter’s camera to get the card to transfer everything to our computer. Thus it may be a few days before there are any pictures of this happy event.
Saturday’s other big event? The Iowa Hawkeyes beating up on number 5 Penn St. That has put the unranked Hawkeyes up to now being ranked at number 13! Now if the Hawkeyes can keep up their winning ways, they have a good shot at getting into top 10, maybe (just maybe) be up their with Texas and Florida. Wooo…that would be a game I would love to see, the Hawkeyes taking on the Longhorns.
Of course coming home saturday night from the daughter’s meant we came home with 4 grandkids. The two older boys knew they were staying but then grandpa just had to say a certain granddaughter from Missouri could stay the night. Now that was fun, as I just walked away and let my lovely wife explain to some crying girls why they could not come. Of course, I paid later for what I had said! So of course the grandson, the brother of the granddaughter staying, wanted to come and finally wife said okay as they were leaving early in the morning. Breakfast next morning was fun, not one of the grandkids wanted pancakes, french toast, or even sausage and eggs. Wonder if it was because I said I would make any of the above items? Everyone then had toast (surprising since we had wheat and not one grandkid wants wheat).
Their parents came by early sunday morning (pre 9am) and picked up their two and went back to Missouri, in time to watch the awful Chiefs game.
That afternoon, wife and I went down to the casino for a bit. We lasted a couple of hours playing the slots before losing everything. On the way home, wife said probably would have done better to spend the money on scratch tickets. Might have, but will never know.
Now watching the Cowboys play the Panthers. Still scoreless with about 12 minutes left in 2nd quarter.
Yesterday was sunny and pretty warm. But in the evening with the sun going down, the wind picked up a lot and it got cool. Today, partly cloudy and very windy. So it got cooler as the day progressed. Am thinking that winter can not be far ahead for us.
