Crazy weekend

Got a phone call from Ben on Friday saying that they'd be up to do some shopping and go out to eat. Sounds good. We go to Menards and buy some stuff then eat at the Olive Garden. They arrived there before us and were seated. We came in and didn't see them and told the person that there were seven of us and they seated us too. We waited and waited then Ben came over and found us. In the meal we were invited to go to Decorah to meet up with some other friends too. It was already around 6 then. We thought, "Yea, it'd be fun." So after supper we packed up and headed for Decorah getting there around 9:30. We went to their house and spent the night. AJ and Linda were there too. We stayed up til 2 am or so. Latest I'd been up in ages.

Sunday we went to the 11 o'clock service that lasted for 1 1/2 hours. Olivia and Zach were excellent for it. No complaints at all. Then we picked up the dog and headed for Grandma Nadine's. Erin and Robert were there too. Olivia played with the little kitties and just had a grand time.

Mom and Dad went to Springfield, MO for the weekend. My Uncle Gary we having his last service before retiring. That'd been nice to go to but 11 or so hours in the car would have been too much.
