A weekend to remember

On Saturday, we ventured out in the rain to the mall, to find some winter clothes for Billy.  When we came back home, we found that the wind had knocked down a hollow limb from our tree.  This particular limb was home to a colony of bees. = /

We left it alone that evening, because it was still raining, but the next day Billy went out to move it.  Since it was a little chilly, he thought that perhaps the bees would stay put.

When he went out to load it into the wagon, they were less than happy to be bothered.


We discussed it, and he ended up tying it to the car and dragging it around to the back edge of our yard.  Hopefully the bees will either be content there, or find a new home before winter. = )


Saturday evening, we had a visit from the Rosenthals.  They moved up to Illinois a few years ago, and were attending a wedding here in Michigan, so stopped in for a quick visit.  We enjoyed seeing them, and had a nice dinner & evening with 8 children running amok. = )

As we were trying to say our goodbyes, William took a fall.  It wasn't the best of goodbyes, but we were happy to see them.  Hopefully we will be able to see them again before the end of year.

later days
