From 11.27-29.08 – Thanksgiving With Sheets-Grands


We returned home just after Noon today from a couple days at my parents’ home in Middleburg, PA.

We had a blast.

Food, family, and fun. Not necessarily in that order!

The highlights:

  • 4-wheeling up Jack’s Mountain with my Dad.
  • Sharing Thanksgiving dinner with a couple from Mom & Dad’s church.
  • Surfing the web on dial-up to learn how to fold napkins interestingly. (link to the finished product)
  • Sleeping in a basement where the temperature averaged 56-degrees!
  • Finished reading “Do the Right Thing” by Mike Huckabee.
  • Ate a genuine PA Hoagie.
  • Shopped at “Wenger’s Discount Grocery” and left with a cart-full for only $23!
  • Making the trip there in 3 hours and 1-minute.
  • Making the trip home in 2 hours and 58-minutes.
  • Being impressed with Dad’s “homeless” beard!
  • Eating incredible food on Thanksgiving day.
  • Ella being adorable, as usual. (except for maybe the Christmas Cactus incident!)
  • My girls.

    I love my girls.

    That’s all.

    Paula Zuber was one of my older sister Stacia’s best friends growing up in Rochester, NY. Nearly 10-years ago Paula married Rob at the Genesee Country Village & Museum and asked my dad to perform the ceremony – to fulfill a promise my sister asked her to keep before she died at age 12. Thankfully I was able to attend that wedding and reconnect with Paula and some friends from my New York days, too.

    Today, Paula and her husband Rob along with their two daughters came and attended church with us here in Armbrust and then joined us for a conversation-filled lunch at Subway.

    Rob grew up less-than a half-hour from here and they come to visit his family often. It was so great to reconnect with Paula and to be able to share my family with her family was a true honor!

    I look forward to further visits from the Nicholson family in the months and years ahead!

    From 11.23.08 – Sunday with Paula and Family

    Jess and I just finished watching the Throwdown with Bobby Flay episode that I was in!

    It was so cool to see the final show put-together with all of our friends (and me!) on-screen. I captured a few more screen shots to share here:




    So we don’t have cable. That stinks.

    Tonight was the Throwdown with Bobby Flay episode that I was able to be a part of back in Wisconsin.

    I’m hoping somebody puts it online and I can download it soon!

    My buddy Jason Knepp DID send me this picture that he took of his TV while watching:
