Every other year, Lynden Christian School has a jog-a-thon to raise money for computers and something else but I can't remember what. They also give 10% to a charity of some kind. After breakfast, DeAnn and I headed to the high school football field/track field. Sam said it would be OK if it rained because I could sit under the overhang and I wouldn't get wet.
Aunt Sally also came and brought me a phoo-phoo coffee - lucky me!! It was wonderful.
Miss Katie was first - she did 2 1/2 miles. They get a punch on the paper on their backs every half round and it takes 4 rounds to make a mile. She had 20 punches. Her mom walked several rounds with her but had a real difficult time keeping up with our "sprinter". Katie would take off running for a short distance and then slow up and end with a walk and then start all over. Gramma even walked a complete round with her.
Fortunately for Katie, it did not rain during her time on the track.
I had a hard time getting a good picture of him because he would just whiz by me.
After the jog-a-thon, Aunt Sally, DeAnn and I decided to forgo lunch and just have ice cream at Eddelyn - can you believe it's the only ice cream I had the whole 10 days. We didn't even make it over there with the kids - will have to make up for it in December.
Friday night John & DeAnn picked up pizza and we went to Auntie Grace's for supper. Only time I've had pizza on china - she is a classy lady. We played cards afterward and have a wonderful time.
We're still "sheep sitting" and today they are behaving - not like yesterday when they decided the grass was greener in the pasture next door.
Have a great week ahead. Next post is Miss Katie's first gymnastics class. What a hoot!!
Love to all,
Gramma and MOM
