Pleasant Surprise

Since we had done all of our celebrating etc earlier inthe week we had no plans whatsoever for yesterday. It was so cold that David actually said that it was a good thing we weren't going out anywhere. About 4:00 Loren phoned and told us that he and the children were on their way, and bringing Chinese food! A nice meal, and then they stayed and we played Farming Game again for a couple of hours. Since we had left the game at Ambers, we had to haul out the old one. No harvest payout sheet! So Loren called Amber and she was reading it to him to write down to use. They were just about finished when David found the old one tucked inside one of the game boards. ( there were two of them and this was the one we weren't using)

Loren amused us telling a story about getting involved in an Internet dating site. He evidently spent some time doing the groundwork and making careful contact with a woman, until finally they actually spoke on the phone. Turned out he knew her family quite well, went to university with her brother, and they had several friends in common. Would have been cheaper to have gone on a blind date! No word on whether they plan to speak again. He's usually pretty close mouthed about that sort of thing.
