The electricity went off again last night but neither Mark or I knew how long as we were both sound asleep when it happened and when it turned back on. The only reason we knew it had been off is the coffee maker did not go off at 5:00 am and we had to manually push the button for coffee. Ben, Taunya and the kids all came over for breakfast a little later. Mark is dealing with bronchitis and coughing a lot so he decided to stay home from church. I called mom to tell her this but when she answered the phone she was without her hearing aids and heard, "Mark is staying home from church, he has bronchitis and is talking a lot." Mom was confused why he couldn't stop talking, and when I finally realized what she thought we had a good laugh.
Dave Obergfel had the morning service and we had another special service this afternoon with Tim Funk.
This afternoon we had a good group come for dinner. As there wasn't too much food in the house I picked up fried chicken from Kroger, mom made mashed potatoes and gravy, Karin made spinach dip and served that with crackers. The meal also had a big salad, rolls with butter and for dessert apple and pecan pie. There were lots of left-overs.
The volleyball players all left for Hanna City gym while the rest of us just stayed at mom's and visited. We had 5 of the kids playing upstairs while Addyson and Taegan played with the castle downstairs. Anna took the picture below of 4 of them playing a color game on grandma's phone.
These Illinois cousins are really enjoying this special time with their long lost Texas cousins.
