Old Settlers Days and my husbands return

Early this morning I packed up the children and headed up north to Mom and Dad's to go to Old Settler's Days. We had a ball! Victoria got a kick out of seeing everyone in their pioneer clothes and learned about animal hides and how they made rope back in the old days. My Mom told Victoria that Abraham Lincoln was going to be there Victoria raised her eyebrows and told my Mom "Um, Grandma, Abraham Lincoln is dead!" She kept asking about seeing old honest Abe, she was quite puzzled about how he was to make an appearance. Anthony and Addison loved the old train depot. In the basement they have a replica of Salem and the train train runs through it. It was really something to see. Anthony about clawed my shoulder off when we tried to leave.

This morning I spoke with James to see if he was on his way. He had found two rental car places in the area and wasn't having any luck. One place didn't have any cars and the other that would deliver a car to him had someone call in and there was only one person at work and he couldn't leave, figures! He waited for someone to get off work at the shop and they drove him to get his car. Poor guy, they gave him a Chevy Cobalt. James cracked jokes that they didn't provide him with a stick of butter to get him in the car. I laughed and told him that it could be worse it could be a smart car. lol. He made it just in time for church. He walked in the door within 2 minutes of worship starting. It was so good to see him!
