We ate lunch and by 1 we were at Masonic Village for our weekly pinochle game with Mom and Dad. It was a great day for the ladies winning 3 of 4 games - that hasn't happened for quite a long time. I had taken a batch of oat bran muffins for mom, which she just loves to have for breakfast! She was so grateful.
Ken and I were back home by 5:15 and both of us were rather tired after having rather a restless night of sleep. We had another salad with sauteed peppers, onions, and leftover grilled chicken - YUM! After playing cards all afternoon, we decided we were all "carded out" for today. So, Ken spent the evening reading and corresponding with friends and his buddies from CR while I did some crafting while watching TV. We did see a little of the Steelers game before heading to bed by 10:15.
Today, Friday, was a blustery, cold day, but at least the sun was shining. We were both up early and I left by 6:20 for breakfast with my Curvette ladies. Today we were celebrating Deb's birthday, but we would meet for breakfast even if there wasn't a special celebration. After a fun time, I stopped at Dollar Tree for a few items and then went to Jamie's to pick-up Cali and take her to school for Grandparents Day. Ken had stopped by Jamie's too so we could visit for a short time before heading to the school. Sue and Dan met us there where the school treated us to fruit, coffee and delicious cinnamon rolls. Then we all went to the library where they were having a book fair and the grandparents bought some books for Cali that she wanted as part of her Christmas gift. Off to her room to check it out - it is nice to be able to imagine her in that classroom each day. Cali was a gracious hostess and was so grateful that all of us were able to attend her special event.
Ken went to meet with one of his buddies from CR and I took Cali back home and then returned to Lititz. I was thankful that I didn't have anything else to do today except to enjoy the warmth of our apartment. It started raining early afternoon and got rather windy, a great day to be indoors.
Ken was home for lunch, rested, and then left to meet another buddy for coffee at 3. I spent almost the entire day cardmaking, cardholder making, and then crocheting. We did take time to make salads and play an entire game of Hand and Foot which Ken won. We had stuffed peppers for dinner that we had bought at Costco and they were positively delicious - recommend you try them!! It was a relaxing evening and we were in bed by 9:30.
Just a little extra info - Ken is in a "stache" contest so Nov. 1 he became clean shaven, something that has hardly ever happened since we got married. I swear he doesn't have an upper lip when his moustache is gone. Soon he will need to shave his beard again with only a moustache "allowed" until the end of the month. Dane hosts the contest each year with the participants paying $25.00 to enter and then all the money goes to the "winner's" charity of choice. Ken is hoping to win and give the money to the Mennonite Central Committee. You win by having the most amount of votes on Facebook from family, friends, etc. So, if you are so inclined, please vote for Ken at the end of November. He would appreciate it!

| Ken, where is your upper lip? |

| The "stache" and beard are slowly reappearing. Unfortunately, the beard will have to go very soon! |
