We had a great visit with family on Sunday. Mom and Aunt Martha, Darese and Duane, Logan and Benjamin, Georgie and Bob. Full house! I made sweet & sour meatballs, ranch potato casserole, rolls (the frozen kind LOL) and creamy succotash. Mom brought homemade apple sauce (absolutely delica) and Georgie brought dessert and iced tea. All the food was great and the company delightful. Reese and Darese played with the 3 boys outside while I talked to the ladies and the men watched TV. Typical. They stayed until about 3 or so. Then Harold came up to watch the game at 4. The Eagles won. Woo hoo.

And.........Mom left an apple crumb pie with me that David made. It is wonderful! Thanks, David. It is all I can do to eat only one slice a day. I have not shared yet. Morgan is not interested and I didn't ask Reese. LOL It is exactly as I remember apple pie growing up, made by Twila. Who I hope to see next week???

I must brag now. We had our Parent/Teacher Conference with Morgan's teacher yesterday. She had all good things to say about him. He is the only boy in the "Good Writers Club" for his pennmanship and is a very good worker in school. He is always ready to do something. When they are done one activity, he says to Sister, "What are we going to do next?" She says, "Let me catch my breath then I will tell you." She also said he sings a lot. Wonder where he gets that from!?

I was pleasantly surprised to learn something yesterday. Friday, the school celebrated All Saints' Day, which was Saturday, November 1st. Morgan was St Paul the Apostle. Each child had a saint and something to read, including a prayer, about that saint. Since this is the year of St Paul, Morgan had an extra part to read, but no prayer. When Sister asked him what the prayer should be about, he said "spreading the good news about Jesus". So I guess he does listen to things we say. It does not seem like it at times, but I guess I just have to keep on talking and something will get through.
