In 2011, great day at church today. Mom was there along with Bobbie, Peggy and Kay. Also had Rachel Crawford and family there as part of my sermon. Good crowd and Harvest fest after church with lots of fun. Watched a good soccer game after church, now watching car race. Sounds like Bonnie was really doing some planting. Typical Bonnie in missing church by being late shaving and hen just going to get cigars and gum!
