Thursday, November 1st--Happy Birthday Margaret!

I can't believe it's been a week since I've updated this. Izaac went back to Des Moines last Friday.
This is Uncle Charlie (Izaac's Great-great Uncle) holding Izaac last Sunday at his Great-grandma's house for Michelle's birthday party.
I just got home from a junk-shopping spree my friend, Kim, and her mom and I went on today. I bought a couple of things, some earrings, a couple of books and a couple Christmas presents. It was sunny and cold, but we did fine and had lunch in Story City at the "Bistro" sandwich and soup place (great sandwich and bread).
Uncle Johnny stayed home and baked bread and made Cincinnati Chili and covered some windows in plastic for the coming season. Yesterday he and I went to Ankeny and met Samantha for lunch so she could buy herself a new cell phone. oh boy!! I actually got two magazines read while riding. later now...
