What a Great Weekend!
Nothing says holidays like a 5-day weekend! I took Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday off work and spent some quality time with my family. It was really great. Its times like these that I try to remember Psalm 107 – Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever.
On Wednesday, we spent the afternoon and evening at my father-in-law’s house for Thanksgiving. It is also the time when his 4 daughters set-up and decorate his Christmas tree.
Thursday we spent at my parent’s house. I attempted to take a family portrait, but it sucked — judge for yourself. I told Mom to get us all together again and I promised to do better (or bring someone with me to take it). Family just won’t listen to me the same as they do for a stranger. I assume that is everyone’s toughest customer??
Friday was relaxing around the house then off to the start of the girls basketball season at Bluffton High School. I shoot the game for a local website run by a friend of mine… www.BlufftonPirates.com. Its a fun gig that let’s me get into the games for free and it helps a friend out. I post all of the pictures on my Facebook page and the kids on the teams really appreciate seeing themselves.
Saturday was the big Blaze of Lights parade and official lighting of the Ream Family light display. They close downtown for the evening and have performances and food and schmoozing with the locals. It was perfect weather, 50+ degrees. It was the largest crowd in recent memory and I assume it was due mostly to the good weather.
Sunday was church, football and we ended the day watching Elf while we decorated our Christmas tree. Life is good.
It was a busy weekend – even wore out Harley!
Back to work today – should be a good one. Our sales manager comes back from Maternity leave. We have a lot to discuss with the new printer addition!
