Saturday is the day we get ready for Sunday

No, K8 isn't "joy riding" on his vehicle. He has replaced K6 as our lawn boy, and Saturday is his day to get it mowed.

He does a good job, including mowing outside our fence - on both sides of the road!

Speaking of a good job...KT does a lot of cooking for the family. This evening she created homemade pizzas loaded with pepperoni, bacon bits, hot sausage, green bell peppers, onions, black olives, and pineapple. Oh my goodness! Yummy!

This was a thin crust pizza with alfredo sauce instead of the normal red tomato sauce. Also very Yummy!

Earlier this week, she decided to make her own hot fudge sauce. Yes, it is also very Yummy!

It's Saturday night, and the Whipple men are getting ready for the Sabbath Day and Church tomorrow. That means polishing our black dress shoes.

Didn't take too long, and it was worth the effort. A good habit for men to develop early in life. I remember my father and I doing this when I was a boy. Of course, a few decades in the military helped make it a permanent habit with me. But it was fun doing it together tonight, and chatting while we worked. Each of us has his own unique polishing technique as well. 

K2 and I paid K8 to iron our dress shirts. We get pressed shirts and K8 gets paid, so everybody is happy. 

Here are our shoes lined up in order: by age, oldest to youngest, from top to bottom. But K2 came along and said,"Hey, they won't see the shine on shoes."

So here they are again, father and sons, showing their shine (except for K7's which are more a hush puppy type soft leather). K8 is the last pair on the right. He is always worried about being short of stature, now and later in life. After seeing his shoes lined up with mine and his brothers, I think he can stop worrying - he will be taller than all three of us based on his foot size at age 12 (almost 13). He and K2 tied for shiniest shoes
