Good Monday Morning to ya!!
 I am different than most people....I like Mondays...it's a fresh new week!! If I had to go to work outside the home, that might be a different story, but my Monday's are like some people's Saturdays! We start out nice and slow and just enjoy the day....usually a little cleaning up from the weekend...and wash, but not alot to do. Especially if I got all my cleaning done on the weekend.

 ~Our Weekend~
 Saturday morning we went up to Eric & Yolie's new house and helped them with painting....it's amazing how quickly 3 rollers can finish a room!
 Dan painting the little boys room...I the color!!


Danny & Sean ~ trying to stay out of trouble!



Yolie doing the cutting in in the kitchen.....I love this house!!



Attack of the rollers.....



Painting the first coat in the basement....



Oh yeh...it was HOT! But it was also fun, working together!



 Saturday night we went over to Roy & Kay's for supper along with Daniel & Elizabeth Bennett and their daughter. Had a great visit as usual....lots of fun, but also lots of discussion and encouragement.
 Sunday Ivan preached.....getting to the end of the study in II Timothy....we also had some wonderful singing. I'd like to figure out how to share the video clip, although it doesn't do justice to how beautiful it sounded in person!!  Click here to hear it!
Then a scrumptious fellowship meal followed by a Moody Science DVD on the intricacy of the human blood system. *really cool* and then to Parthenon Healthcare to sing for the elderly.
 Came home, listened to the race, snoozed, cleaned up a bit and then Eric & Yolie came over for the evening...it's been ages!

 Tamara had hinted often that sometime she would just LOVE breakfast in bed....so this morning, I decided to get their week off to a good start and do just that!
 Menu: Eggs and bacon bits....and OJ! Neither of them can eat much for breakfast, so it didn't require much work!



Tamara sat up like lightning when I walked in and said, "Breakfast in Bed"!!



And Danny about had a cow when he realized he had slept "till 8:30"! He is usually up by 7 or 7:30!


 
 Now they are busily playing in the living room...making their Webkinz animals talk to each other....I hope this is a sign of a good day! I'll do my part to make it that way!
 Looks like a not-so-busy week (except for cleaning church) so I plan to wipe out some "hot spots" in my house!!

 Hope ya'll have a great week, too!!!

Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
~ Phillipians 3:13-14 ~

Okay, so our electricity went off for no apparent reason and erased my post!!  The thunder storms we are having are not very close, so that shouldn't be the cause...you just never know in Blountstown!! LOL! Despite that, I thank God for the downpours we had tonight and for keeping me safe on the road when I went to town through those downpours! 

 So this morning I posted that I didn't have new pics...well, that wasn't totally true! I found some on my camera that I hadn't uploaded to my computer. So here are a few....
 Friday we went to Camel Lake with some friends.... (that's Danny with the blue goggles on his head)


And Tamara...maybe watching for fish? The water was so warm and the sun was very hot. We had a great time and are looking forward to going back in July!



Lunch time....



That evening the youth invited us to Caroline's house for game night. Danny and Tamara had fun riding on the pond in the canoe.



Us adults enjoyed a long, lively game of Apples to Apples! It was great to have some of Caroline's relatives and two of the town kids there as well! Especially since so many were gone other places!!



 Today was a good day!! Met my sister Chris in Tallahassee and we spent the day shopping, had lunch at Panera Bread and got Starbucks iced coffee for the ride home! I am so thankful at least one of my sister's lives so near me!
And a BIG thank you to Amy Y. for letting the kids stay at her house while I was gone!! They had lots of fun!!
 Off to bed....while the thunder rumbles on!!
