Oh, goodness, this week was crazy busy! Sunday night was when Bible school started. I made it 4 out of the 5 nights. I could not make it Tuesday because the shelter picnic was. If it had been a normal Tues. night, I would have canceled out and went to Bible school. Every night that I went, I picked up Rhonda's children. They loved it. Rachel really liked her teacher. They all did, but Rachel is like me, every little thing counts for something and her teacher went out of her way to make her feel special. on Thurs. was the last night of Bible school and they had an icecream machine and snack there. The kids got alot of loot too! I was surprised at all the stuff! They were delighted of course!
Wednesday I made jelly with my mom and Merci. We had a high old time! The jelly didn't get as thick as it should have but it's alright. Still tastes good! Merci and I shopped for some fabric. Merci is going to help me sew a dress. There's a ruffle pattern that I would like to do and am not sure how to do it. I am afraid of botching up a good piece of fabric and if I sew the dress and it doesn't look right, I won't wear it and then it's all that money and time down the drain. Two heads are much better than one. Merci used to sew a lot of clothes so she's going to help me figure this ruffle stuff out! I guess the little girl in me is coming out! I do so love ruffles and lace and pretty things! One thing I have to start believing is that dark colors are okay on me. I wear pastel colors and some brights in the summer and then dark colors in the winter. I don't like many dark colors on me but I will wear them for winter. I've been told that dark colors make me look thinner! I didn't want to believe that but now Merci is telling me the same thing. So I'll have to look into wearing darker colors and smaller prints. I usually picked out big prints. I have to revamp my brain! Oh, what we do to look thinner:):)
Friday night I was supposed to go to my grandma's house for family night. I was planning to but I got a call at work from my aunt. She said Karena never saw my house (that's my cousin) and they were coming down to Lancaster to a sale and she would love to hang out at my house while her husband was at the sale. So, that's what we did, hang out at my house. My grandma was not impressed but I had just seen her last week so I didn't feel too bad. I had fun with my aunt and cousin. We watched a movie and had a good time talking.
Saturday was the highlight of the whole week for me. I had Steve Hursts and the Brills over for mountain pies. I was planning that we have them at my house. Then the landlord told us we may not do open fires, she does not want the liability. Sigh! So I got the pavillion at my neighbors by the creek. All morning it rained :( Then in the afternoon it rained and the sun shone at intervals. It was crazy how much it switched back and forth! I kept not knowing whether I'd be making pizzas or if we could have the mountain pies. So finally I gave up and said we'll do pizzas with all the stuff everyone was bringing. Then the sun came out so bright I did end up going over and having the mountain pies there. We also did home made strawberry icecream. This was the first time the Hursts and Brills had really met. Two different cultures but it looked like everyone got along well. Todd got out the fiddle and Merci the guitar and we sang and had a good old fashioned sing! Emily got cold so we hurried over to my house and sang some more. I did not know my piano is out of tune.........what is wrong with my hearing that I can't pick that up? GRRR! But now that I know, I hope I can get it tuned. However, if I remember from last time, it cost me $70/$80 to have it done and if I move next year it will have to be done again:( It costs alot to live:( I never did have it tuned after it got moved so I guess it's my fault. Every time you move a piano you can pretty much guarantee it's going to need a tuning. The different climate can even put it out of whack! But I got out the keyboard and Johann played that. Waaaaaaaaaaaay too soon it was time for them to take their sleepy kids home. Sniffle, sob! I wish good times would not fly by so fast. That's one of the things I will love when I'm in heaven. I will be able to see my favorite people EVERY day and not ever have to say goodbye. I don't even like saying "goodby" here on earth, because it's actually never "goodbye" for the Christian but rather "see you later". The location might change but not the fact that we'll see eachother later! Sometimes I get a little down after looking so forward to something and then it's all gone. I had maybe 5 minutes of that and then I decided not to let it get me down this time. There's more good times like this, Lord willing!
This morning I was at Mom & Dad's church for Father's Day and then to them for lunch. Now I'm supposed to be in bed sleeping.........speaking of which I'm going to do right now!
