Five for the weekend

Please feel free to join me and comment!

1) (If you're American)- have you been watching the conventions? What are you thinking?
Yes, every minute of both of them. I'm very excited about Sarah Palin being on the Republican ticket. I believe it's shown some true colors in our country over the past week, really.



2) How's the weather where you're at? (Remind us where you are!). Anyone in the line of the hurricanes?

We weren't in line. It was supposed to rain today and it was mid 80's from noon on in. It rained this morning a little and was damp last night though.



3) Back to school- how's that working for ya so far? (be it your going back to school, taking a class, or your kids going back...)

The kids are enjoying their new school (they started a charter school this year). Jackson says it's stricter than the private school they've attended their whole school careers. Homework has been an experience. It's not that they come home with too much, just the attitude surrounding it. kwim?




4) Have you tried a new food or recipe this week? (What was it, did you like it?)

No



5) What's going on this weekend in your world? *g*

My Sunday school class had "couples night out" last night at the Mexican Restaurant in town where our church is. There were about 30 people there. It was nice to visit with friends. We got to know a new couple in class a lot better. They just moved to NC from IL. That's a culture change BIG time ;-) After dinner we all walked to the new coffee shop in the same shopping center and chatted more. That was fun.



Today we took the kids to the local ar show that is held each year this weekend. They have it at the airport right up the road where I grew up. There were a number of older planes on display with facts posted near them. The air show was sets of planes doing tricks, skywriting, etc .. my neice and her beau was there, he was working as a vendor for his company. We got to visit with them for a little while. We all have a lot of sun now on our faces and necks ;o)



When we got home the deer family was in the front yard, a doe and her two babies. They're regular visitors in our yard but each time they show up it's so exciting to see them and see how the babies are getting so much bigger. I was able to get a few pictures today cause I was borrowing my mom's (much better) camera. I will post them when I get them transferred and resized and all.



Tomorrow is church day. The air show cost more than what I thought so I think we'll be having Sunday lunch at home, especially since we had Mexican Friday night. (We usually have it Sunday after church). Usually we chill out after church until it's time to go back. I'm thinking that children's choir starts tomorrow, I'll have to check on that!!
