We had a nice weekend with Doug & Janelle arriving around 1:45 Saturday morning. I had taken the Explorer up to Moline Airport for them to bring to our house. I didn't have much time to go shopping because Michelle Martin called and was ready to leave Moline after supper. I got to eat at Fazoli's for once! I was sad when the Fazoli's in Peoria had closed.
On Saturday, I took food to church for the Sunday evening meal. Then I ate at Heartland Private School where they were having a fundraiser as part of Stark County Fall Festival. Doug & Janelle went to Peoria for the day to see his mom, grandma, and Michelle. His brother John from Atlanta was also in Peoria for the weekend.
Saturday evening, we hosted our immediate family for a supper. We celebrated Andrew's 3rd birthday that evening, even though his birthday wasn't until this coming Monday. Cousin Char made a neat cake with a picture of Andrew and a baby goat on it. We ate "home-raised" chicken for supper. Doug's brother John came up that night and stayed overnight with us.Sunday after church we went to Steve and Betsy's for a call with Ron & Nancy Schambach and Wayne & Judy Anliker. Then we had a meal at church for the immediate families before Bruce's ordination as our new Elder. Thanks to Karen, Janna, and Eileen for cooking and serving the food. It was a blessed evening with Ron, Wayne, Jim Plattner, and Jon Schmidgall participating. Grandma Schrock came with Jack and Cathy.
