Random October

A random collection of photos from October.  :)

Jackson dropped by to visit Grandma and Grandpa while I was visiting Grandma and Grandpa.  :D 

Jackson and Brianna attended the Billy Joel concert in St. Louis.

This is what happens when our family tries to sort through books - we just end up reading them.  :D

Jackson took the first round of senior photos of Jonathan. 


Yes, I drove to Moberly to the Aldi store there -
just to get my Aldi fix while our local store was being remodeled.

Love this!  Gail came to pick up Marvin one evening during our Grace Girls Bible study...
so they could have some 'guy time' together.  There they go with a dump truck full of gravel.  :) 

Beautiful tree on my walk one day. 

Lunch with these lovely ladies at Take Root Cafe -
Deb, Alicia, Laura, Kady, and Susan 

Daddy and Jonathan attended a Truman football game together -
They sure look like two peas in a pod! 


Dear Alicia sent me this photo of them that same day.  Love it! 

Hannah's outfit for 'dress like a superhero day' at school.  :) 


Laura, Hannah, and Julie at the first Lyceum of the year.

it was fantastic!

Sheryl brought Susie some Krispy Kreme donuts for her birthday.  The rest of us Grace Girls
certainly benefitted from them!  (We missed Brenda this evening)

And YAY!!!  Our local Aldi is reopened and remodeled!  This makes me so very happy!  :)


Homecoming parade and game

Saturday morning we headed out to the Homecoming parade.  We had wondered if the parade would be interrupted by rain, but it held off.  The humidity was high, but the temperature was pleasant.  A great morning to watch a parade.

Daddy and Mama sat with the 'KSTC group' in front of the bookstore.  Patty sure takes great care of all of them (and has for years).  She provides the chairs, blankets, and even breakfast!  How nice.





Here comes Truman's marching band!

Cody in the high school band

We were all yelling his name as he passed by.  :D
