The big news of the week is that we came home one day to find a package on the doorstep that we weren't expecting. When we opened it up it was a free cook book for Yogurl! Turns out she got the third prize in a drawing from Silk soy products, or something like that. She had a great big smile all night and she kept saying, "I won something!" See how happy she is?
Originally, everybody at work was told that we would have Friday and Monday off for a four day weekend in honor of Veteran's Day/Marine Corps Birthday. Then I was told on Wednesday evening that I was going to have to work on Friday at 1600. Then on Thursday I was told it had been changed to 1445. Then Friday around noon they called and said they had cancelled and I didn't have to work again after all. As much as I was annoyed that the people at work can't figure anything out in advance, I was so relieved that I didn't have to work that I didn't go crazy.
On Saturday we went and helped some people in the Fallbrook area with cleaning up their yards that had been fire damaged. 
Both houses we went to had fire damage in their yards all the way up to just a few yards from their houses. Talk about being blessed. It was a great service project, and we really enjoyed it. We got really filthy, which you can't see too much in this picture, but take my word for it. I got to spend a lot of time using a chainsaw to cut up oak tree branches, so that was fun, too. Be sure to click on the picture of the trees so you can see how they got burnt like 80% of the way up, but look just fine on top.Yogurl wants me to include this picture of the yummy lentil chili she made (along with from-scratch cornbread). Yumm, yumm.
