…as full as a bag of trick or treats!
Dear, Katie and I went to church and besides hearing a good sermon we were treated to a Violinist who was amazing. His name is Klinkenberg and he sometimes plays with the Celtic Women. He played a more classical piece and then at the closing of the service he fiddled a wonderful rendition of Jesus Loves Me. We bought his soon too be released CD called Fiddle-Levity! We had it on during lunch and really enjoyed it.
When we got home Josh and Laura had already arrived to enjoy a meal with us. I tried a recipe from The Pioneer Women Cooks ~ Tasty Kitchen blog called Sauerkraut and Pork that had been cooking away in the oven while we were at church. We all agreed it was very tasty!
Josh, Laura and I left Dear and Katie at home to handle the Trick or Treaters and we headed downtown to Qwest Field to see the Sounders play the L.A. Galaxy. Lots of the crowd dressed up for Halloween. These guys were one of our favorites!
Three Blind Refs! After the game we wondered it they were the refs that called our game.
Joshua’s red beard really made his leprechaun costume more authentic. :0)
It was a great night for a Sounders game and for Trick or Treaters with no rain drops falling on anyone’s heads. Too bad the Sounders didn’t win. That would have really capped off a wonderful day!
Today I headed out early for some physical therapy on my tennis elbow. It has been raining steadily and promises to keep raining all day and into the night. I’m glad to be home in my slippers enjoying the coziness of our gas insert fireplace…
I came across this verse in Ecclesiastes today and couldn’t help but chuckle and use it during this political season we find ourselves in! Out of context? Maybe, maybe not.
Ecclesiastes 10:2 (English Standard Version)
“A wise man’s heart inclines him to the right,
but a fool’s heart to the left.”
Photobucket replaced all my photos with ugly black and grey boxes and they are holding my photos hostage until I pay them lots of money. I’m slowly going through all my posts and trying to clean them up and replacing some photos. Such a bother.
Sauerkraut and pork – one of my favorite foods for the fall! YUM!! Love the 3 blind refs – LOL! Such great photos! Enjoyed my visit.
When I read that scripture I thought of the use of right wing and left wing in the political arena. :o) Perhaps another out of context…or not???? hmmm. Don’t you just love the Pioneer Woman and Tasty Kitchen. I have gotten so many good recipes from both sites. If you love coffee and chocolate try this one….my family LOVES it. Coffee Cake (literally) http://thepioneerwoman.com/tasty-kitchen/recipes/desserts/coffee-cake-literally/
Looks and sounds like you all had a fun day! Love the dishes…I always notice the dishes! 🙂
Oh..the poor Sounders…today everyone has been cheering loudly at the beach. I have not really given sports too much time while I’m here, but I sure hope you get your tennis elbow healed…lots of heat and deep massage until you screammm. It’s got to break apart…the whole process took mee three months of steady physio and then once a month maintenance through summer…
You can do it….
Marg,
I laughed out loud at the 3 blind refs 🙂
We’ll be watching, with interest, the results of your elections today. I wonder if it will be a Ruby Tues? It’s funny because here in Canada the colour for our conservatives (like your Republicans) is blue and the Liberals (more like the Democrats) are red. I think blue/conservative – red/liberal. Very strange eh?
xo

I love your plates…..very pretty and different! Can’t wait to tell my hubby about the scripture…he will love it!
The three blind refs are hilarious, Ellen! 🙂
