Got to work and had non-stop meetings and tasks preparing for the customer visit in a couple of days. I did get some surprise ranting texts in the middle of the day from D. Apparently pieces of glass are falling off his iphone screen from yet another broken screen; believe this is his 4th screen... He wants a better phone and better case... I reminded him I have an old iPhone 4s that has the original screen on it no matter what kind of case it has had around it... Was a work a bit late and had to drive home in the dark. I HATE THIS ending the day with it dark outside... Home and had some food with L and soon the troops showed up with spoiled grins and arm loads of stuff they don't need from Gma&paW...

We headed home and swung by the theater to see 'St. Vincent'. It was an odd movie, and evidently the hand out for old people after church.. We headed home and relaxed a bit, getting things done that 3 fighting children often prevent you from having the time to do... In the evening we headed to church for a parent meeting to see what the youth group was up to and it was a very good meeting.

No luck on the part, plus I was informed these thermostats for the little fridges ar about $60, almost the cost of a new fridge. We grabbed a Little Ceaser's pizza to eat on the road and stopped at a handful of places looking for mini fridges on the way home. We found an open box fridge that was only $100 so snagged it and J rode with it in the back on the way home. Fridge installed and we helped L get the yards ready for the party next weekend. In and cleaned up we headed to a football party at a friend's house. They had a very nice fire pit and a projector showing the Buckeye game vs Michigan State. It was a close and exciting game.
