Better than sailing

We had a great Saturday...and we were at home and not on the boat!! I bet you have already guessed that the kids were home.

Friday, Andy and Ashlynn drove up from Austin with dog Porter to attend the MIZZOU football game. It was good to see them. Ashlynn is busy working on her PhD in environmental engineering at UT. Andy is a project engineer with National Instruments. We hadn't seen them is since May. It is fun to hear about their adventure with home improvement as they remodeled their kitchen last year and are about to complete their bathroom...the counter top should be installed soon. They have carpet ordered for the family room and a new sofa is on the way.

Amy and Sean dropped of the grand kids, Finn and Anna, on their way to St. Louis for an awards banquet. Sean had three projects that received recognition and Amy picked up an award for her firm for work in Greensburg, KS. They spent the night at a fancy downtown hotel.

We played with Finn and Anna all Friday evening. Anna fell asleep on the sofa with me while we watch a movie. She is just walking...she pushed a clothes basket all around the house and even took a few unassisted steps.

I made biscuits and gravy for breakfast Saturday morning breakfast. It was fun to catch up on all the things Andy is doing. He and Ashlynn left for the football game around 10.

We played with the grandkids, watched several movies, the NASCAR race and napped the afternoon away.

Andy is known for his pizza, so Saturday night after Amy and Sean got back from St. Louis he made a deep dish sausage/Canadian bacon and a cheesy, tomato, Canadian bacon.

We Skyped Ellie while the pizza was cooking. Ellie is a freshman at UW in Seattle. She was having a great weekend meeting new friends in her dorm and at Dawg Days.

It was good to see her.
