Alpo apples

First of all, I just wanted to thank everyone who sent cards, called, posted, or said a kind word. My grandfather's funeral was very nice and the whole family was able to be there to celebrate his life. It was a very fast trip home for us, but obviously, we wouldn't have missed it.

Ben's parents were able to come up over the weekend and it was so nice to see them. We haven't been able to make it to Hays for awhile and we really appreciated having the company!

I also thought I would post a little funny from last week. I came home from work one day to find a huge dog food bag sitting on my porch. I could not for the life of me figure out why someone would bring us dog food. So, I opened the bag to find it full of apples! Ben's friend had brought us tons of apples. This is the second time this year, only last time we got them in grocery sacks. They are actually really good and we have been making several apple pies. But honestly, who puts apples in a dog food bag?? Anyway we have been teasing about eating "Alpo Apples" all week. I know we peel them and everything, but it's still a little odd to eat out of an Ol' Roy bag.

Too funny! I love that you are eating apples out of a dog food bag! Only in Kirksville!

Funny about the "dog food". Quite a surprise.
Also- sorry about your grandfather. I did not know about it. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
