Corn Maze Field Trip
So, yesterday was Rebecca's first field trip in Fourth Grade. She had a ball, but she froze (as did I)! They went through the corn maze finding 6 different stations where they would "punch" a card. If they got all 6 they got a prize. This went on for about 2 and a half hours of running through an almost 5 mile corn maze. They all had a great time.
Next we ate our lunches and then they did a "gem dig". She loved getting little souvenir rocks to take home. After that was a "hay ride" of sorts to a pumpkin patch where each child got to choose a pumpkin. They were allowed to pick these HUGE pumpkins (earlier in the season I hear the children were only permitted to take little ones). So Mom had to lug around this huge pumpkin.
I was at work this morning and noticed my arms were a bit sore, and then it hit me! It's from carrying that pumpkin all over the field until she found just the right one. I will be sure to let her know when I get home that I'm sore from all her indecision ;)

From Yahoo News:
Joaquin Phoenix, who turned 34 years old just yesterday, stunned a reporter, Jason Kennedy, with the announcement that he would be retiring from acting.
NOOOO....say it ain't so!
Here he is saying, and unfortunately I quote:
"This will be my last performance as an actor. I'm not doing films anymore... I've been through that. I've done it... I'm dead serious."

Mrs. Sumosky was a member of St. Venantius Church.
She was married April 18, 1937, to Edward A. Sumosky, who preceded her in death May 9, 1996.

Also surviving are 15 great-grandchildren and two on the way; two sisters-in-law, Ceil Jones of Whippany, N.J., and Betty Fox of Oil City; and many wonderful nieces and nephews.
Among the survivors are also special friends and neighbors, Jennifer Pardee, Kay Thompson, Phyllis Richardson, Shirley Dalton and Vi Shumaker.
In addition to her parents and husband, she was preceded in death by five brothers, Isaac Fox, Carl Fox, Fred Fox, Lloyd Fox and Paul Fox; and two sisters, Suzie Fox Fischer Martin and Marion Fox Porter.
