Andy, Jeremy, and B went to the launch party for Bur Oak Brewing Company here in Columbia. The local brewery, named for Missouri’s champion Bur Oak tree (affectionately referred to as the “Big Tree”), is one of several craft brewers to open here recently. They very much enjoyed the beer and had a great time. Andy even remembered to buy a t-shirt from the opening (for me!)! Cheers to more local beers!

Update!
I know that it is odd to take a picture of the blog, but I did it anyway! The big news today is that I updated the theme to the blog. It had been a while and I thought it was time for an update. I must have weeded through 300+ different themes, and finally settled on “Chocolat.” I really like it! What do you think?
Ingredients!
Beginnings…
No Pictures…
It happens now and then. I took a five-mile walk in the morning and enjoyed coffee in the quiet house. Andy and the kids had a great time on their camping trip arriving home about 1 pm. We got everything put away from the camping trip and began the mountains and mountains of laundry. I think it will be early to bed for ALL of us…
Camping!
Andy took the kids camping for the night. John has a camp out with his Cub Scout pack scheduled for October 24-25 and Andy wanted to get him used to sleeping in a tent. I was supposed to go too, but I didn’t. Let’s leave it at that. Andy and the kids left about 5 pm and they had a great time despite the first chilly night of the season. The kids loved having time with just their Daddy and Andy loved spending time with just them. A great outing for the three of them!
In case you were wondering, I was tired and grumpy. I went to bed at 7 pm. It was a good thing I didn’t go…
