Ryan's parents called this morning and said that they would like to come up and see us.  They arrived around 11:00 A.M. and we ordered chicken from the Villager.  It was a little like having a second Thanksgiving.  After dinner Ted took a nap and Ryan, Will, and Ryan's parents went out to rake up all the leaves.  They worked for 2 1/2 hours.  We wouldn't have been able to get the leaves raked without their help.  
After the raking was finished,everyone enjoyed fresh baked brownies and hot chocolate. (Will had warm apple juice and fruit snacks.)
After the snack, Jeff crawled up under the family room to see if he could find out why the sink in the family room powder room wasn't draining. Ryan had already discovered that the problem was more than a clogged drain, so we knew there was a problem deeper in the plumbing. Jeff discovered that we will need one of the pipes replaced. It had rusted through and was leaking into the crawl space. I'll call the plumber on Monday. Until that gets fixed we can just keep draining the sink into a bucket.
Today wasn't at all what I had expected when I woke up this morning. It was nice to see Ryan's parents. I was glad that I felt well enough to enjoy their visit! We are so grateful that they could make the trip and help out around our house! Ted had lots of hugs for Grandma and Grandpa. Will really enjoyed working outside with them! I think we all had an excellent day!
