My Life--An idea to try

I recently read an idea that challenged anyone to blog for a week about their daily life. I thought about it all week, but didn't act upon the challenge--so I decided to try it this week.
I will start with Sunday and always be a day behind, since I usually blog in the early morning.
Sunday was Bob's Birthday, and also Conference. Normally we watch Conference on our TV, but this was our opportunity to see Sabrina (age 8) run in a Cross Country Track Meet at Mt. SAC.
We got there as the competitors were walking the course, which appeared to have a very big hill as part of it--come to find out, her age category didn't have to go up the big hill, but the course was hillier than any other she has run. (She has run in 2 other meets, and won both of them.) Ready for the race to start, about 50 runners in her event, off to a good start, see her at the top of a hill ( in second place) see her pass by us (in second place) see her head for the final straight-away (in second place) see her pour on the speed (in first place, barely) see her move out, SEE HER WIN! Yeah, I'm a proud Nana. She is a natural runner, and she loves it!
Left Mt. SAC and went to visit Bob's 96 year old aunt Marie. She is in an assisted living place in Chino--and she is very glad we are home from our Mission. Drive home to finish making dinner for the family (which is an every Sunday thing). Family arrives, we eat and celebrate Bob's Birthday and he uses his new barbecue to cook tri-tip for our dinner We chat, kids play, everyone goes home--cause it is a school night. The Ashcrafts took home Thunder and Lightening (their tortoises--goodbye reptiles) and Bob and I finished our evening, as we usually do, with a game of gin rummy--and he won, as he usually does.
Blessings--our family, each and every one of them, and all they do for each other.
Regrets--we missed seeing Conference, but the Ensign will be here soon, and we can read the talks.
