A Saturday afternoon drive...

pretty colors flashed by as we kept up with the 80mph traffic.  I gave up trying to get the bright red and orange trees...they were just a blur on the camera!  The trees are just starting to turn...the next few days promise to be beautiful!!!

Teddy was hanging out with his cousin...doing guy stuff.   We girls had a date with Daddy...to a couple stores and out for supper.  We enjoyed chatting.  Once again we realized there are still many thoughts, questions, and adjustments that our little chair-fillers are working through in their hearts and minds.  We all decided that somethings are "just going to take some time getting used to"...and a frosty treat is a fun thing to help decide that...sometimes.

We visited a familiar grocery landmark that Ted had found!  Mom, milk is still this price two weeks later!  For real!  All the time!  We did a big grocery buy.  We are comparing prices right now...and finding that things are about the same as what we have always done.  Shopping the stores close to us...buying the Meijer or Walmart brands...I will save the 20-30 minutes of driving time and gas expense.  "Why did we drive all the way to this town?"  Because that was the closest Aldi...all of 25 minutes. 
It was a fun little adventure.
