Then we enjoyed a nice dinner at home.&#160; On Sunday we went to Cracker Barrel for breakfast.&#160; I love me some Cracker Barrel breakfast (or food in general)!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/kickert.info\/beth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/October002.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-bottom: 0px;

Way back in 2000, my high school basketball team one the Class A State Championship.&#160; For most schools this isn&#8217;t a huge deal, but for smaller schools like SHS, it is huge!&#160; Our high school now has a Hall of Fame and so our team was inducted into it on Sunday.&#160; It was fun to catch up with some old ball friends and really special to have our team picture hanging just below my dad&#8217;s baseball team picture which has also been inducted in the Hall of Fame.&#160; It was a quick trip, but a fun one.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/kickert.info\/beth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/image.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-bottom: 0px;
