Sandy was up and had walked a bunch of laps in the woods, washed sheets and done other major housework early. Terry always makes bacon, eggs and biscuits on Saturday mornings. I can’t have those things, so I opted to stay upstairs relaxing until they were done with breakfast. Then I came down and had my usual oatmeal.
Curtis, my nephew, brought out Isaac and Conner to go to the library with us to see an exhibit there. We were going to be keeping the boys overnight. The exhibit was of different things to show some history of Columbus. My Dad had a ton of handmade wooden items to represent some of the companies that have been in the city for many years. He also did extensive research in the archives of the library about Columbus and businesses. When he died earlier this year, his collections were given to the various companies, the Historical Society and the Library. Sandy got a call that a few of his things were going to be on display at the event at the Library on Saturday. We went to see everything. It was a small event, but interesting. The boys enjoyed seeing Papaw’s stuff and they also got to touch the hides from different animals. A funny moment was when Isaac, who is getting pretty good with spelling words and sounding out new words, was reading the labels on some old bottles. He asked Sandy what ‘laxative’ spelled and meant. Of course, little boys that it was funny. But later in the weekend, Isaac actually used the word in a sentence. Smart kid!
We ended up passing the 2 boys over to Stacey and Rob in the parking lot for the day. Sandy, Terry and I took the long way home through a lot of countryside, including driving around a couple of lakes. The trees were hinting that they will be turning colors soon. It was a very nice ride. Of course, Sandy & Terry live in the midst of 15 acres, so their place is nice to view, too.
We weren’t home long before Sandy and I headed back into town to stop at Target to look for a booklight for my Kindle. They happened to have just what I needed and had it 75% off! They only had 2 left, so of course, I bought them both!
Then we proceeded to pick up Isaac from Stacey’s house and then went to pick up Conner from his friend’s birthday party. We brought the boys home and they rode 4 wheelers with Papaw while Sandy and I walked through the woods.
The boys got to play in the hot tub and then we had dinner and relaxed inside for the evening. It was a very nice day.
