Here I am, just skating in under the witching hour of midnight!  As usual, we sat down to watch some TV and I fell asleep!

Friday we drove down to Worthington to meet Stan and Carol.  They were on their way home to Washington after spending a month in Wisconsin with their kids.  It was so nice to see them and have that nice visit!  It's so nice when, even though it's a few years between visits, it's just like we saw them yesterday!  We did some catching up before they continued on their way to Spearfish.

Stan will start to enjoy his retirement when they return to Washington!  He said their kids kept him too busy to start yet.  Carol is going to work one more year, and then they plan to move to Wisconsin.  The visit was over much too soon, but so glad they stopped to do that!

Saturday was pretty much a wash.  I read a book and puttered around some.  Orrin did work in the shop for a while, since he wasn't out there on Friday.

This morning we got up for early service and our final bible study until September.  We're working on 1 John, and will resume again with that.  After, Al and Rose had invited all of the bible study group to their house for pot luck.  We didn't realize that it was going to be at noon, had planned on going home and coming back for a later gathering.  But this actually worked out better, we just stopped at HyVee and picked something up.  No one went hungry, there were lots of goodies to eat.  We had a great time of fellowship, with stories exchanged and lots of laughs.  We were home around 5, so didn't get anything done but eating popcorn!  LOL

We had a nice rain last night, again badly needed.  We got about half an inch.  They had closer to an inch in the Watertown area. 

And that's it for the night!  Hugs, Orrin, Linda and Teddy.

PS 2 weeks before the lake!!

This is the message you heard from the beginning: We should love one another.  1 John 3:11
