Today's agenda was spending most of the day with Michael Williams and meeting his family. He had invited us up for breakfast. They live about 30 miles from Marilyn, so we got an early start and headed to his home in Amherst. He has a lovely home on 11 acres, and he and a buddy were sawing up a big oak tree in the back yard when we arrived. I think his wife Nicole got the chore of fixing breakfast since he was working outside, but it was delicious, and we got to get a tour of his home and meet the family.

Next up was his son Gavin's football game. Gavin is in 6th grade and plays both offense and defense.

We got behind 18-0 in the first half but came back and won the game. It was their first game of the season (their first "scheduled" game was a forfeit by the other team so they hadn't play yet this season).
Our final event of the day was a birthday party for Chris (rumor has it that he turned 43 today, but I think it's a secret). Chris brought steaks and chicken to grill, and Marilyn fixed lots of goodies to go with the meat. And Jenny baked a delicious carrot cake from scratch, which was awesome. So when all the kids got there, it was something of a madhouse, but the food and companionship was great. It was fun to get to be a part of the evening and to enjoy their family.
A fun evening and great food. The little girls kept us entertained. Another busy day at the Stuckeys.
