Weekend

This is the first weekend with out extra people around and we are getting back into our new normal life. I took Beth to Chicago Ohare on wednesday so that she could go back home to Germany. This is a picture of her as she left.


On my way back to GR I stopped at the Hovings but no one was there. I did not tell them I was coming until I was in Chicago. They have a nice house and they don't need a door bell the dog does a nice job.



The weather has been rain for the weekend so I have done things in the house.

This last weekend we went to a Griffin's game with friends from church. It was fun to see the game and to do something different. They lost the game 2 to 1 and they did not play very good. It was College night so there was alot of young people there and it was cheap beer night and hot dog night. I did not have any beer.

This is the end!







Nice hat!
Who is this person?


We had a real nice time this Christmas with everyone being able to be here. I had the week off between Christmas and New Year so we had to do some things around the house. Brian and I put more insulation in the attic one day. I can tell a difference in the house and on the roof. The snow is staying on the roof and no icicles. But here are a few pictures of Christmas.

These are some of the things that we did this summer. Went to the fair in Hudsonville and had dinner there and look at all of the farm aminals. The tractor is for Brian.





We had a new roof installed because the tree went through the roof. The company worked on it in the evening and took them most of the week.



When we took Brian and Beth to Detroit to go to Germany. We spent the rest of the weekend going through the two Ford houses. The Edsel and Eleanor Ford and the Henry Ford. We enjoyed going through the houses.










We had a storm come through in July that we called the 10 min. storm. We lost one of the trees in the back yard. We had the tree removed so the back yard looks bigger.














Things that we did this summer. We had a new front window installed and now all of the windows are newer to the house.

These are pictures of our Cadet camporee on May 1-2. Saturday was a nice day and we were able to get all of the games in. Then we made supper and had or night events. When we got up on Sunday it was raining and was not able to have a fire. When we went to church the rain had stopped and the sun did come out. We had to pack every thing up wet. The boys had fun and so did all of the dad's that went along.
