Sunset Stampede

A quick shout out with some good news.

Seth placed 3rd this morning in the Sunset Stampede, a 10.1 mile race that's half up-hill. He won a $25 gift certificate to a running store! His time was a little under 6:30 minute miles. He felt good about the run and we are very proud! He's now out mowing the lawn...

...because my sister and her family are arriving this afternoon!! This will be the first time we've hosted the Schaffer family in its entirety under our roof. They are coming for one night, then headed up to Abingdon to look for a house to buy. The fabulous news is that they finally received and accepted an offer on their house in Evanston! So the move is impending...

Finally, we have our first worship service for the new church tomorrow night. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers. Sara is preaching, and I can't wait! This is the reason/excuse why I've been away from blogging for too long.

The farmer's market today was sensational. The first crop of greenhouse tomatoes, huge cucumbers, the best strawberries, broccoli, and some home-made gnocchi pasta all made it into our cart. On the menu for tonight: broccoli quiche, home made sweet potato fries and cucumber salad. To top it off, we will be enjoying five varieties of cupcakes from the mama owned cakery short-street cakes: mexican chocolate (it's mine!), blueberry chocolate ganache, caramel apple, carrot cake, and strawberry. Yum!
