Excitement at the Extended Stay

So we were golfing yesterday afternoon.  It rained, pretty steady.  We have devised strategies for keeping our hands and feet and clubs as dry as we could.  We just laugh.  But my 2nd BIL played with us yesterday, which is rare.  He told us we were crazy.

It was nice being together, doing something silly and frivolous.  It was nice being outside.  The rain really cooled things off, but it was humid.  The course is about 3 miles away from extended stay hotel.  We heard quite a flurry of sirens.  Never thought much of it. 

So, we get take out on the way home.  Still a very steady constant downpour.  Some woman on the elevator up to our room said we missed the excitement at the hotel.  Some man had been apprehended by police?!  What?  We could not find any news story about it.  I will keep my eyes and ears open!

At 9pm last night on last dog walk of the day, there was a man with a wife and 2 children.  Another rough looking man yelled and pushed him.  I did not see what started this.  There were about 15 people all standing by front of the hotel, besides these men and their wives (one with 2 kids).  Both men were yelling and took their shirts off...the kids crying.  It was scary.  The woman of the aggressive man yelled him to stop "...not in front of his babies...!"  DH and I were just incredulous.
I felt so bad for the kids.  I just felt so upset and rattled by just seeing this.  I can't imagine kids that have to live in chaos like that.  I wanted to stay up and watch the news, but decided sleep was calling. 

Ephesians 4:31-32  ESV
Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.

Grateful for people

I am grateful for people in my life.  I had a great date night with my DH listen after a busy and productive Sat morning and drive sat afyernoon looking at leaves.  Sat morning was cool, but afternoon was pretty.  Stayed up way too late, had fun.  Saw my 97 yo DGM and her 93 yo SIL (my great aunt) and my fathers cousin.  It brought on some painful memories of my dad...but my dad is gone now.  I did what I could before he died.

After my busy sunday helping my DGM, i had a healthy early dinner and caught up with my aunts for little while.  I didnt get my walk in, rare for a Sun.  I will just walk extra this week.  Sold a purse and canned some apple pie filling.  First time ever made chunky applesauce with cinnamon.  Its good.  My house is clean.  In an hour, bed then another work week...

Trying not to wish my life away too fast!  But want winter over and its barely started!
