Last Thursday evening we went to visit Paul & Mary-ellen in Clearwater. It was good to see them and their new place.

Friday night the boys had a costume dance in Vernon and we took the girls out to Denny's for dinner~~Whoo-hoo!!

Yesterday Ron and I attended the Valentine's Day dance at church. It was adults only and Jim & Linda joined us. Ron & I were chosen to be one of the 8 couples to play a Newlywed type of game (we came in second), There were some puzzled looks when we both responded to "Where did you go on your first date?" with "We didn't have a first date."

We had a really nice time except for the little phone call we received at about 9 and heard about the "learning experience" the kids were involved in. See, one of the boys decided that the best way to dispose of old left-over stew is to flush it (Even AFTER being told no). Well, the toilet took exception to this treatment and backed up a bit. After much plunging, experimentation and committee-type problem solving activity the problem remained. So today the main layer in the incident got to learn the ins and outs of plumber's snakes, toilet removal and wax ring replacement. After retrieving about 3 cups of veggies from the toilet, I think he has a whole new respect for that particular piece of porcelain. The repair was completed minutes before the 8 guests we had invited for dinner showed-up. (whew!!!!)

We had Ross & Robin, our home teachers and their families over for "Mexican" tonight. I think everyone enjoyed the food, and we enjoyed the conversation.

We had another light flurry early today which promptly melted off this afternoon That's the report for now . . .
