Making breakfast on Friday morning.

What do you think Jared is dropping chocolate chips on to?

You were right if you guessed pancakes.

Jesse wanted to make his own.

Supper was pizza from Two Cousins – appropriate for Cousins’ week 🙂 – to which the older cousins were invited. Josiah came after I took the picture. Nate is in NYC on a two-week mission trip, Josh was not available due to a prior commitment, and Jana and her mom are visiting friends in Finland.

After supper each of the children went home.

The skunks had one more opportunity to feast at the critter mix box, and tonight it included pizza crust.

Jere and Kristen’s boys came back on Sunday so Jere and Josh could visit a friend who is ill and lives near Penn State. They were here until this evening.

Last night Ian helped me clean the patio – which needs done every few weeks. It was especially dirty this week after putting out “critter mix” almost every night last week.

The skunks were a bit puzzled by the lack of food last night. (We saw a few walking around the patio like they were searching for something.) They had to go back to digging for grubs. 🙂

Today Gloria and Diana came to help label and mail the individual Highway News for TFC. Ian also helped as did Lois and Harold Keller.

It seems quiet here tonight. Jere came for the boys late this afternoon. They will soon leave for the Harrisburg Airport to welcome Kristen and Jana back from Finland.

So life will go back to normal – whatever normal is for us.
