John had to be up and out bright and early this morning to meet Matt at his house by 7:30 a.m. John was helping Matt with a small job and thought he would be home by lunch time. The work took longer than anticipated, and John didn't get here until 4:00 p.m.

Since we will be leaving in less that two weeks for our trip to the East Coast, I started setting aside some of the things we will want to take with us. While John was gone most of the day, it provided a good opportunity to do some cleaning and time to get all the laundry done. It was a busy day and the time just flew bye.

As soon as John got home, we headed up to Clearbrook to watch the 7th grade football game. Even though Sam is not playing, we like to go and cheer on his friends. They are improving more with each game and once again were victorious. It was well after dinner time when we got home, so we settled for heating up a frozen pizza for supper. The evening was spent watching more NFL--we have just about overdosed on football this weekend. There were some very exciting and entertaining games, but we were disappointed the Eagles and Vikings lost. Oh well, it's only the first week of the season.
