Today was a hard day because it was Daryl’s brother’s funeral. And even though the day was a sad one, it also brought his whole family together to share the day and support each other.
After the funeral and dinner was over, I’m just saying that our family was exhausted and we all headed home to unwind. The funeral guests were all gone and it was time to take our shoes off and just spend some time relaxing.
So after we got home and put on some t shirts and shorts most of the group took some welcomed naps. For not doing much these past days, I have no idea why we were all so tired.
Then it was time to get dressed up and because both boys were home I wanted to take some casual pictures for our Christmas card. Yea, I know that it’s a little early for Christmas photos, but heck you have to do some things when you can make it work and well, this was sure one of those times. They turned out OK and here is one of just Daryl and I hanging out by the old milk house. It’s pretty casual with pitch forks behind us don’t you think? 🙂
Next on our list this afternoon was to have our picture taken for the Church directory. These pictures are usually a little bit formal and I guess thats just how they roll. It’s always nice to have a formal picture of our family but my first choice is always an informal one. That’s just how we roll.
We’ve sure have been eating quite a bit lately and because it was about 5 hours since we had dinner, a couple of pizzas from our local restaurant was on the agenda. It was perfect timing because the camp fire was lit and refreshments were cold and like I said – it was a perfect way to be together to eat supper.
Even though the official day for the blue moon was going to be tomorrow night, it was still pretty bright tonight!
We also waited for the space shuttle to pass through the south eastern sky and we had no trouble seeing it tonight. And with it traveling at 17,500 miles an hour it’s pretty cool.
And how did the night end up? Well it ended with a game of cards with the boys and I’m not sure if you can guess who won the game? Yea… Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!! 
The photo of the day is one of the gift that was made by my niece for Daryl. It’s just perfect. And I don’t normally do advertisements but here’s her website for the other projects that she’s done – Â https://jsmithvinyl.wordpress.com
