Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween!!  I "dressed" for work today.  I figured this was more office friendly than my Polamalu jersey and wig!!

Fish fry for some great guys

Kenneth and the Wheelchair Ramp Ministry crew built a ramp close to our house this past Saturday so when they got close to finishing, Kenneth headed to the house and fired up the cooker.  He's been fishing like crazy to get enough fish to feed the crew and the Lord blessed him with plenty!  These men give up a lot of their time and most of their Saturdays to help people and I was so happy to be able to do something for them.  They're a great group and they really enjoyed their lunch.

The first of the guys to roll up the road to the house.

Mum and Cille visiting while waiting for the guys to show up.

Daniel came with his Dad to help set up and took some time to visit with the ladies...he's such a nice kid!

 

Put out extra chairs so they could sit and visit but they all wanted to go fish off the pier!

Katie was the entertainment...hahaha!!!

Mr. Bob...the head honcho...he started this ministry about 20 years ago and at age 90 he still makes every one!

Gathering around the table, filling their plates...

The cook, making sure there is enough for everyone.  You did good, as always, Kenneth!!

After everyone left and we had the house back in order and cleaned up, we headed out for a short ride.  It was such a beautiful day and even though he was tired, we went...

We must have passed this little church before but it really caught my eye this day.

This is a picture of the beautiful sky after church Sunday - the clouds looked so pretty!

Getting our GRUB on!!

Sometimes you just have to throw the diet out the window and get your grub on!  We tried Grub Burger Bar for the first time and it was really good.  The restaurant itself was really cool, but very loud.  It's all open, no ceilings, concrete and tile so every little noise echoed and there were some pretty loud folks in there the night we were there but all in all it was a great place to eat.

Running with the nuns!

Last Saturday we participated in a charity ride sponsored by Christus called Run With the Nuns and yes...there are actually nuns who ride on motorcycles!  The ride benefits many childrens programs and needs in the area.  This is our second year to ride but I volunteered several years before and the people who organize this benefit and put it on are amazing.

Blurry selfie before leaving the house...I didn't take two like I always do so this is all I got!

Beautiful sunrise on the way...

Follow the nuns on motorcycle signs!!

Silver Star did a GREAT job with the venue and the food!

Registration tent, but we were already pre-registered and had picked up our packet and shirts the night before.

They served a legit breakfast - sausage, eggs, biscuits and gravy, milk, juice, coffee...very good!

Coffee guys were super nice

Got Kenneth a 10th anniversary pin for his vest at the store.

Picture from the RWTN Facebook page with us talking with the volunteers at the store.

It's always fun to find pics of us together!

Our local Christus group, Christus Schumpert, is a Catholic run hospital hence...Run With the Nuns...and they hand out medals every year with a different saint on them.  The priests said a prayer and blessed the medals and the nuns passed them out to all the riders.

 

 

Getting ready to roll!

Another picture from the FB page that caught us getting ready to load up for the ride.

Beautiful day for a ride!

The local law enforcement officers that lead the way, blocked intersections so we could all stay together and kept us safe.

Don't they look awesome?  Thank GOD for our law enforcement...what would we do without them?

The priests blessed each bike/rider(s) on our way out.

Another picture from the FB page!

 

People were coming out of buildings and waving as we passed.

 

 

This guy had his little girl on his shoulders waving!

We weren't the only ones enjoying the day.  Love this car!

 

 

 

Yet another soul enjoying the beautiful day - hope he caught a few!

 

Pulling in to our rest stop after an hour and a half ride.  I needed it!!

There was a longer line at the mens bathroom than the womens!!

Back at Silver Star for lunch of pulled pork sandwiches, chips and cake.  And music by Earshot Graffiti.

Some of the kids from the Miracle Network that are helped through this charity.

Pictures of the bikes from behind us and in front of us.  What a wonderful day it was!
