Fall Photos

Click on 'Fall Photos' to see the pictures.

Pictures from this years CornMaize visit. Came back to the house with Mom and Dad over. Had Chili, cider and donuts and s'mores on the bon fire. Jess carved pumpkins for Lilly and Isaiah.

Ross and Amanda came down Sunday and Kayla showed off her walking skills. When you look at the photos, you need to check Kayla trying to get on the scooter. She was standing on the left side and we were continuing to lift her right leg to get on the bike. When she went back to it she was on the right side of the bike and continued to lift her right leg to get on. We cracked up at her.

Lilly is going to be Princess Jasmine for Trick or Treat. Isaiah wants to be the same dog he was last year. It is Tuesday the 31st. Should be fun.

John is ready to go

It's hard to wait the final hours. We will take him to the recruiters office at 6:00 tonight. They take him to Harrisburg and he stays the night in a very nice hotel and has a very nice meal at the hotel. The next morning, we will be able to go for a swearing in at 9:00. Then, he's off. He will fly south. I'm not sure what the afternoon holds, but late at night the new recruits board a bus and are taken to Parris Island. They are ordered off the bus in hurried fashion by the drill sargaent and the adventure begins. The only thing he takes are the clothes on his back, his New Testament and his driver license. Not hard to get him ready! He cleaned his room and stripped it down. Now the room war begins as several of the children want to claim it.

Stan was on vacation this past week and he spent time at our adopted lean to. He built a new fireplace for it. The lining is brick and the outside is stone. It took him hours to look for just the right stones. He is pleased with how it turned out. He enjoyed the stone work so much, I can see that as a new hobby for him.

Sarah is getting a lot of driving experience in and she also started working at Cherry Hill. A store that is surrounded by apple orchards and sells the produce and many other things. She enjoyed the day which was mainly spent bagging peoples purchases.

Keep John in your prayers. When I get an address I will pass it on.

Love, Jeanne

It has been....

beautiful fall weather here for the last few days. Rain coming back Wednesday or Thursday.

We all went out for breakfast Sunday after church for Mom's birthday. They then went to Anderson's and bought some new jeans for her and then supper at Shucker's. So they had a good day.

Reminder that John is leaving soon for boot camp. October 16. Good Luck to him. And Jeanne maybe give us updates on him.

Kathy Bodenbender is in hospice in Perrysburg. She has had brain cancer about a year now. Is also in her stomach. Had been quite bad for a couple of weeks, but has had an upswing this past week. She is talking and eating shrimp and milkshakes.

Later,,,

Hi There !!

It's Thursday evening and just waiting for Survivor to come on.

I have had pics to share, but I had too many for the free account and had to delete and move around and I just did that, so here are some from the fair and Kayla's birthday party.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/cashadday/ I see Jeanne accepted my invitation on Flickr but to be honest I have no idea what she was invited to do !!!

And Jeanne, I can't imagine what life is like there right now. If all of you don't know, the Amish school shooting was about 20 minutes from Jeanne's family. When Rick and I were there, I remember seeing some of the towns they are talking about when we were sightseeing. It has been a sad week in this country with all the shootings.

Reminder that Mom's birthday is Sunday. I don't know what we are doing yet.

More later,
