November 16, 2013---Michelle’s, Loveland, Colorado


At 9:00 this morning, five of us went to a pancake breakfast.  It was a money raising event sponsored by Connor’s football team.  One of the player’s has a younger brother who is fighting a battle with cancer.  Their expenses are enormous and they needed help.  

The breakfast was held at Appleby’s, which was packed from 8:00-10:00.  It was a wonderful show of support from the team and the community.

This was a busy, busy day.  Lori took some of the scarves she made yesterday to the shop in the Outlet Mall.  Meredith and Michelle had never been to the shop so we spent a lot of time looking around.  

We also went to the day old bread store.  Their prices are great and with the “mob” that Michelle feeds every day, she appreciates the savings.  

Bill and I were watching the Oregon Ducks game and Lori and Tucker came to watch with us.  The Ducks won, which was great, and Stanford lost, which was even greater.  They beat Oregon last week, so their loss today put the Ducks back on top in the PAC 12.  Yippy, Skippy!

Tonight, Michelle and I went to Meredith and Dwaine’s to watch a movie, The Quartet.  It was a really good movie.  Lori bought pumpkin and pecan pies, and with whipped cream and that was our dinner.  Yum, yum!

The movie had a lot of music in it.  Dwaine said he didn’t know Lori liked music because she doesn’t play it on her car radio.  I ask him if he would like to hear them sing, and they immediately broke into song...one they sang when they were camp counselors one summer.  Dwaine was overwhelmed, and probably in a bit of shock.
