John and I were up early and out the door by 8 a.m. to drive an hour or so south for Josh's football game.  Josh is again part of the elementary football program for fifth and six graders.  There were approximately 12 teams in attendance this morning with six games going all at the same time.  A game consists of playing 15 minutes on offense and then the same time on defense.  The object of the program is to introduce the boys to football and teach them the basics of the game.  The Bears had a great day, winning both of their games.

We stopped at the DQ for some lunch on the way home and then made a couple of other stops to do some browsing at a gift shop and to pick up a few groceries.  After we got home, John went up to Matt's to fill up a couple of containers with sand from their old sandbox.  He plans to store the potatoes and carrots in the sand after he digs them up in the garden.  While he was there, he also cut up a little more firewood.  

I had a little problem with our new computer this afternoon and spent some time with the Geek Squad getting it fixed.  It's potluck after church tomorrow, so my next job was making a pasta salad to take.  Our evening was pretty quiet--just watched some college football before calling it a day.
