Pumpkin Walk

Tumble weed jack-o-lanterns.

On Saturday we visited my folks and went to their small town pumpkin walk.  Unfortunately it was cold and windy; not a good day to linger. Still, the mountains we in fall colors and the clouds were hanging low around the peeks.  After the walk we spent some time at the farm visiting with family and once the weather warmed a bit we went out to take some family photos.

How Many People Does it Take to Replace the Mother?

Today I went off to practice with the church choir, which had changed its rehearsal time to Sunday afternoon, almost to our dinner time.  When I came home I found the whole family working away in the kitchen. Jared was grating huge piles of cheese and weighing it on our postal scale. Ruth was making the sauce.  Kaitlin was just finishing up some cornbread and Chuck was trying to do damage control.   It was a wonderful surprise and I enjoyed watching as they all worked away in the kitchen.  The result was a very tasty dinner of homemade macaroni and cheese.
