Mid-September 2017

What a week!  I hung out my dog-sitting shingle and had a busy time.  We kept Roxy, Kelly's dog, at our house.  She was good - most of the time - except when it came to sleeping.  Two nights of several trips out during the night, and then she decided she didn't want to sleep in the kennel at all!  The rest of the week, she slept in our room - on Ron's side of the bed - but she slept!  They came back from vacation 3 days early which was a relief.  Monday-WEdnesday I also took care of Sippie (neighbor Esther's dog), but he stays home and I just went there 4 times a day to put him out.  Between the 2 dogs, I was a busy girl.  Glad it's over - wouldn't want it to be a regular thing for sure.

Went to exercise class, worked at church, lunch with "old" sorority group, Bible Study and city-wide garage sales during the week.

Ron and I went to Overland Park on Saturday.  He went with Chad and Garrison to Garrison's soccer match - I went with Amanda to pick up Peyton at her cheerleading camp and to watch their short performance of what they learned.  She did a good job!  Garrison scored a goal and said his team "won" (they don't keep score).  With not much time in between the morning events and Peyton's volleyball game at 12:30, we decided that the guys would do their thing for lunch and so would the girls, and we would all meet at the volleyball game.  Peyton chose Taco Bell since we didn't have much time.  While we were eating, guess who walked in - the guys!!!!  They didn't know we were there but had just decided on Taco Bell for the same reasons we did.  Of all the places to eat nearby, what were the chances we would end up at the same place.

The volleyball game was good - Peyton had improved from the week before and got 2 of her serves over.  She was on cloud 9.  Their team did not win, but all the games were close - within 2-3 points difference.

Ron and I came on home after volleyball and then drove to Warrensburg to pick up the new shower doors we ordered from Lowe's.  They are now awaiting the handyman to install them sometime hopefully this week.

On Sunday, we went to church and then to the Ammons' to watch football with 4 other couples and to have a contributive lunch.

We are blessed.
