BUSY, BUSY, BUSY

I thought when you got older, things slowed down. Not so with us. We seem to be busier now than ever before. Although, I don't think you can ever be busier than you are with teenagers! Glad we are past that phase!

We have had something going on at church every weekend. We had Jane Pata from Argentina and she stayed with us. We had a ThinkNext seminar and Phil Claycomb stayed with us. We had Angel Food distribution last Saturday, plus the grand girls stayed with us, Friday night.

I don't think we have anything...... oh yes, Tollie has Men's Breakfast and we are having a work day at church on Saturday. Nice thought we didn't have anything!

I really need to do some work in the yard! Arghhhhhhh! After the girls left last Saturday, I kept thinking I would get out and mow, but alas a nap was calling my name. By the time I got back up, it was later and thoughtfully I decided not to mow. So, Sunday after eating out, we came home and I mowed while Tollie edged the yard. In fact, I almost got of it then! As we were leaving the resturant, one raindrop fell on me and I rejoyced. But by the time we got home, it was not raining at all. So we started in. I do have to say that God has humor because on the last round of the side yard, it started pouring! I finished up and came in. But it was done.

Now I just need to get out and work some flower beds and weed out a vine that grows across the back fence. Our neighbor put this up on their side, but it is creeping around to my side and invading my yard! I hate the stuff. I know if it put Round up on my side it will kill their side as well, so I hesitate to do that, but.....I am working and thinking!

Have a great week.

We are excited as we make preparations for Tollie to go to Russia and I am going to Missouri the same week. Separate vacations are not my choice, but I am looking forward to visiting a whole week with my baby daughter and her husband. I did not want to go to Russia, but Tollie is excited! More on that later!
