Trick or Treat

Look who came to visit us tonight!

Happy Birthday Becky!!!  Hope you have a "howling" good time today.  Love and miss you!

Do You Remember?

Do you remember Hot Spam sandwiches? You know, 1 can of spam shredded, equal amount of Velvetta cheese shredded, chopped onion and then ketsup to hold it all together. Place on half a hamburger bun and then broiled in the oven until hot and melted. Well I love thoses sandwiches and I mixed up a batch today. I didn't feel like turning the oven on for just two, as Rodney is in Montana, so anyway, I thought, why not grill them like a grilled cheese sandwich! Was it good you ask! I thought it was better than from the oven. Then another thought occurred to me. This would make a great sandwich when camping. You can bet it will be on our next trip.

Can't Wait

4th Generation

This is Dylan.  If all goes as his grandpa plans, he will be the 4th generation of Overmohle's to kayak. Grandma O is smiling I am sure!

We had a great time at camp.  I know there have been others that have blogged, but thought I would put in my 2 cents worth.  It just was really great to be with family, and so many of us at that.  To everyone that cooked--thanks so much.  It was all yummy!  A special thanks to Chuck for the wonderful campfires each night.  They were super and very enjoyable and an excellent way to end the day!  A great time to tell our jokes.  (I found my folder of jokes that I was going to bring along just the other day!)  I guess thanks to my sisters for getting me out in a kayak (second time ever).  Maybe each year will get easier and I will make it to the Point sometime.  Nieces and nephews-it is wonderful to see you and your families and how they have grown.  Those two little girls are precious.  I look forward to hearing news of the new little Holliday soon.  Jon and Heidi, your presentation was great and I was so happy I could see it.  You already know that it moved me to tears.  Keep up your great work for the Lord--you inspire me.

Bean Bag Tournament??  Perhaps next year I will be better organized--or I will hand it off to one of the younger ones.  At any rate, congratulations to the two lefties that won.  And I would be remiss if I did not thank mom for making the week possible.  I am sure that having all of us under foot is a bit much for that period of time, but know that we appreciate your generosity.  You have started a tradition in the family that I hope we can continue for a long time.  Hugs and I love you always complete the weekend, and I know that I missed some of you when you left, so, OXOX, I love you all!
