Hamlin Ave.

Hamlin Avenue has been treating me pretty well let me tell you.  I have not done very much since being home but not a problem by me!  I have caught up on my Modern Family which is one of the greatest shows on television.  If you do not already watch this show, Thanksgiving is a great time to start.  Speaking of family I have spent a lot of quality time with mine.  Saturday night I went to my cousins (The Lutz's) and watched the Army vs. Notre Dame game.  Being an Army fan (for better and for worse) only the first five minutes of the game was really fun.. the rest was somewhat embarrassing.  But the food was delicious (thanks Aunt Cathy and Chris), and Meredith had a lot of fun thanks to Nolan.. overall, despite the score, it was a success.  This morning my family and I went downtown for church and out to breakfast--at Lou Mitchell's which was delicious.  At church, my dad and Nolan were the tallest people by about a foot and a half, communion was a free for all, and we witnessed 3 first communions and a baptism.. quite the experience.  As we were leaving my dad saw a girl walking down the street and claimed that she looked like Brandy.. I was impressed with the good call and found it funny that he knew who Brandy was (thank you Dancing with the Stars.)  Another funny dad moment... Nolan and my dad were driving a while ago and a skunk ran out in front of the car.  Nolan claims that it ran back and forth until finally there was no time left and my dad ran over it.  Nolan then claims that the smell just "wooshed" up into the car (which smelled for weeks.)  Seconds after hitting the skunk my dad said, "number one piece of advice while driving, never swerve for an animal."  That is a pretty solid piece of advice that you should all abide by.  My dad has a lot of good advice and we (my family and I) love him.  Some times we give him a hard time but he is the best dad in the entire world and he better never forget it!
