Where did the time go?

I cannot believe how long it's been since I last blogged. That just goes to show you how busy life has been around here. The Warrens Cranberry Festival is over and gone for 2012. What a blast! It was our 40th anniversary and boy did we have a party. I loved each and every minute of it. The weather was wonderful and the crowds were HUGE. They estimate attendance at over 140,000. I love the chance to see that many people smiling and happy. Things around here have been busy too. Jake is now almost 20 and working at the company his Dad works at. It's a temporary job, but it's a great learning experience for him and gets him a steady paycheck. He's looking into some classes at the local college too for the winter. He really seems to want to do something mechanical, like welding etc. We'll see where he ends up. He loves cars and motorcycles. Jessalyn is in 10th grade now and is very musical. She is in choir at school, which reminds me...I need to check on her next concert date. She is also in the Worship team at church and enjoys learning the harmony that goes with that. She's always singing or humming. Will is still working at the same place. I am so proud of him. He has had perfect attendance for almost every one of the 20 years that he has worked there. He is a real trooper. It is a very physical job and for our 48 year old bodies, that is a hard thing. He does a wonderful job and is a great example for his kids of being committed to your job and doing it to the best of your abilities. Jake says that he has more respect for him now after seeing how hard he works. We have started having the Warrens Community Meals again this year. So far attendance has been growing. We served over 70 meals the first night and almost 150 this last one. Of course, it was the Thanksgiving meal and it was quite the feed. Tomorrow night is another one and I don't know what the crowd will be like, but we are having breakfast for supper....pancakes, eggs, sausage, biscuits and gravy and banana stuffed french toast with banana caramel cream sauce. It should be lots of fun. Time to head back to daily life.....until next time.... God bless.
