The wonder of weekends

Monday, who put this on the schedule????

Not that I mind getting up, it's just harder now. Oh well, not to complain, at least I was able to do it.

The weekend was good, not too busy but still not boring either. Saturday was the Jog-A-Thon for Speed the Light at our church. I am the quasi-official photographer and took bunches of pictures of costumed, sweating, joggers for posterity. They were sure dedicated.

Aiyana (grand daughter #1) went as Amazing Girl but she didn't have much time to make a costume so she used one of my long sleeved shirts as a cape and made a mask out of construction paper. The mask kept slipping around and blocking her line of sight so she eventually was unmasked for safety reasons.

Some of the costumes worn by the others were fantastic. We had Bumble Bee of transformer fame and various others as ninjas, and various super hero's. Even the mighty green Hulk. He won the sweat-hog award and was slowly dissolving as the heat of the race increased. After a while he looked like one of those artificial plant people in the ads on TV.

Our youngest runner (8 years) completed 12 trips around the track or 3 miles, and the most miles were racked up by one kid (10?) with 24 laps or 6 miles. I was impressed and a little jealous too. I don't run as I'm sure body parts would undoubtedly fall off if I did.

After an hour of running, and jogging around the track, we all went to The Old Hometown Buffet for breakfast. We had over 40 that jogged, and maybe 60 that went to the breakfast. Lots of hungry runners there and we certainly got our moneys worth.

Finished up Saturday with a trip to the local junk store and a DVD movie show at home.

Sunday was church with a really good message on being "real" in our faith and lives. It'll show what you are on the inside sooner or later. If your real in what you believe it won't flake off like the painted type does because it's coming from the inside out.

End of summer BBQ at Mark and Bobbies with the whole church invited. There was a problem with the burner on the BBQ and some of the hamburgers looked more like burnt offering than burgers. Still there was plenty of food and everyone had a great time.

I will get around to downloading the flash card from the camera Monday night after work and try to post a few of the better pictures here.
