SUNDAY IN STRATHROY...


We spent Sunday afternoon in Strathroy with Oma and Opa. They treated us to a delicious roast beef dinner and a good game of Skip-Bo! They even sent us home with delicious homemade applesauce to boot! Mmmm! Thanks so much for a lovely afternoon...we're so thankful that you are both so healthy and active. Hope to see you soon!

SKIP-BO!

3 Generations of handsome Ruessink men (& beautiful women...we have to teach one little woman that it isn't acceptable to pick one's nose, especially when getting one's picture taken! lol) After Oma and Opa's we headed to John and Ev's. They (& Courtney too) watched the kids so Bri and I could go to a Reformation Service in the Strath CRC, a combined service with 5-6 other local CRC churches. We went back to their house for a SPICY chili supper and a nice evening of conversation and games. Unfortunately the time went by so quickly I didn't the camera out for pics. I'll get you next time Roffels!!


The beauty of fall! There is nothing like the smell of fall leaves...today was an absolutely GORGEOUS day! The sunshine warmed the day (15 degrees), no rain(!), the leaves were dancing around on the ground, the kids were jumping in the leaves and on the trampoline, etc. It was even enjoyable raking the backyard! Hopefully tomorrow if the rain holds off we can go to the orchard and pick some fresh, crisp apples. Oh, another great fall scent...apple crisp or apple pie bubbling away in the oven!

CHEESE!
