My last day of vacation... a Pokemon day as we meandered back to Longview. Chased Pokemon and got plenty of steps in Puyallup, Fife, Tacoma, Olympia, Centralia. Thankful for the sunshine!
Happy Thanksgiving take 2!
It's become a tradition to meet up Sunday of Thanksgiving weekend with the Fischers for a second turkey dinner. We had to take the kids back to UW, so we extended it another year.
Portland Day! We had lunch at Debbie's food truck and saw the Accountant at Living Room Theaters. And a quick cruise through Powell's Books...
New tree, but the same ornaments! And the same groans from the family over decorating together. But, it's done. The tree,t he mantle, the built ins, two nativities, and a few miscellaneous items.
Happy Thanksgiving! Over an hour of traffic, but always enjoy hanging out with the McNeils. This year lots of laughs among cousins over emojis and snapchat.
Bruce got a new warm jacket. Bring on the miserable weather!
The kids are both home! Fischer4 together again... some assignments to turn in, then out with friends...
New treadmill!
Out old one, which we bought down the street at a garage sale on a whim, went kaput.
Used OfferUp to find a new one locally, maybe I can get back to 12,000 steps a day consistently!
A little cold and a little wet at times, but enjoy being outside, in the daylight, today between running errands.
Spend the morning packing, organizing, and delivering Thanksgiving food baskets in the Highlands. We did 150 boxes this year. Will be fun to see the newspaper tomorrow morning, we should be in it!
A clean house!
We had a dinner guest tonight, so for less than a day our house looked unusually uncluttered.
Love it but it is way too much work...
I miss getting "I voted" stickers now that it is all absentee voting. But I got a sticker for delivering shoeboxes tonight. At least 35 of them were from our basement.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! Feeling pretty good about my shopping progress this year, no stressing over items arriving in time this year! It's so fun to open the packages! The wrapping seems daunting...
Almond Roca makes me thing of Christmas. And my Grampa. Don't tell anybody that I've been sneaking into the tin; hope there is still some to give away as I had intended! I want to visit the Brown & Haley store in Tacoma sometime...
Our church has three campuses.
It struck me today that I regularly go to all three sites. My Monday night women's group is at Pacific Way. My Wednesday small group is at the Heights. And we usually worship Saturday nights at the electric Bean.
Giving thanks for all of our church locations.
The quest for cranberry sauce is over!
I decided that I wanted to donate cranberry sauce to the food banks this yer. Except Costco doesn't have cranberry sauce.
But Wal-mart does!
Our new house numbers are finally up! Really happy with them!
I've had a hankering for cornbread lately. Digging in!
Happiness is a long hot shower as another long week winds down. Love our almond scented bath products.
Starting antibiotics. Hoping they work. I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired.
We voted!
And this evening we watching things unfold in a very unexpected way...
Fischer Four has 3 new phones! The old ones need to be mailed in in working order...
Family time. Des Moines Marina, a Pokemon playground.
Anastasia and I got our baby fix tonight! Six week old bundle of cute. They call her Frenchy. Because her cry sounds like a seagull and gulls each french fries...
We made terrariums tonight. I like how Anastasia's turned out.
Operation Christmas Child Packing Party! We packed 170 shoeboxes tonight with all the donations that we've been collecting all year.
Working, working, working... hoping the annual plan will be done soon!
Bruce put out our Halloween decorations. The holiday season is upon us!
