We have matching black rings and watches, and today we each put on matching orange watch bands.
It was Taco Tuesday, with pretty light turnout, probably because everyone was coming tonight. The best part was when a couple of the kids started asking us about what Italy was like when we were here as missionaries in the 1970s. One said, "were the streets the same?" We were puzzled, and so my wife said that traffic was just as busy and crazy. He then asked, "were there cars, or just horses then?" I guess we seem pretty old to them!
We spent the afternoon cleaning up after Taco Tuesday, doing lots of dishes, and my wife prepared sandwiches and Rice Krispie treats for the evening. Lots of people brought treats, and there was not a shortage! I also ran out and got a copy of the key for our new cabinet, which has been hard to find, and I printed copies of our new ZTL pass on card stock.
By late afternoon everyone started showing up. We're not sure how many were there, because I don't think that everyone signed in, but it was pretty full and everyone was having fun. Everyone ate a lot, and the costumes were great. We gave three prizes for the best costume; the grand prize winner was Adrian, a nice young man from South America who is preparing to go on a mission. I'll just show a bunch of photos for you to enjoy. We got home late!
