Veteran's Day

This weekend our mobile home park celebrated Veteran's Day with a chili cook-off. Jon, Joshua and I attended. It was the first community dinner we ever attended and we were the youngest in attendance by almost 20 years. :) Joshua was the only child, but did a great job. After dinner there was a game of war trivia and Joshua ran around the hall delivering the prizes (leftover Halloween candy), which many of the folks gave to him. It was a fun time and we met some nice folks in our park.

Sunday Jon wore his dress blues to church since he will be in San Diego next weekend for the Marine Corps Birthday Ball and will have to miss church. After the services we went to Costco for our traditional $1.50 hot dog and soda lunch followed by free samples throughout the store. He was a bit overdressed, to say the least, but received many, many words of thanks from strangers who wanted to thank him (and me) for his service. It was quite sweet.

That's all the news for now.
