Day 236 - Sunday, Sept 6

When you've been without a drain for 24 hours, you get a pile of dirty dishes......






By noon, the 'roto rooter' guy arrived to find where the blockage was in our sewer system.






Jim helped with the not so nice job.......the look on his face says 'something' is rather distasteful, to say the least.





Once the drain was clear (about 3 hours later), we went to watch the Roughriders beat the BlueBombers at Rob and Lana's. Their TV is now set up downstairs so it is not a distraction to the girls during school hours.


I took several photos of Titus - who always obliges with a different expression each time I point the camera at him....





After the football game, Jim was treated to the NASCAR race.......












During breaks in the action, Robert worked on organizing the basement. (They had just moved bedrooms/playrooms around)







A couple more Ty faces......


















Mike and Victoria came over in time to 'watch' the race with us. Really, though, since Jim mutes the TV and listens to his computer, we just visit around the race - paying closer attention when there is a crash or Jim points something out. The kids also perk up if they see 'Kurt Busch' on the screen......they're a little behind the times though - Kurt is now Jim's 'second favorite'....Kurt's little brother Kyle has taken first spot. :D









Upstairs, the girls patiently waited for the race to be over so they could come home again with Gramma and Grampa.











It was pretty late when we got home and they crawled into bed.
