Tues.-Carleen here from 12:30-5. Ate lunch, sat by river and talked, and watched Freaky Friday. Good times. Went to Ruritan Club with Michael in the eve. He spoke without notes for about 5 min. regarding his time at Boy's State. He did so well and I was so proud. Came home early. Erik and Chace came to spend the night.
Wed.-Erik and Chace here all day. I went out to town to stay with a dear old lady and she had us guessing for awhile. Went to Kroger's and then Lindsay's to babysit while she taught violin. I had to sneak away because Adi wouldn't let me go.
Thurs.-Went to chiropractor and then to Lisa H's for lunch and friendship. Came home and Michael was hungry for pizza so we made two homemade pizza's within the hour. We watched the last half of Christy on TV. He mowed the lawn today and is reading his Sherlock Holme's book. He should start work at Kroger's soon, "Unless," as he said dryly," I fail the drug test for some reason." Michael shared today about Andrew's teaching last eve. He said it was deep and followed the principles of logic. 'Faith, hope, and love are all dependent on one another. You can't have one without the other. Love is patient...You are patient when you have to wait in the ER because you have hope that you will get treated and feel better.' That was some of the idea of his message. I want to hear more.
Fri.-Michael and I went out to Appomattox today to get his car's air conditioning worked on. We did some other errands and exchanged some produce with the Hubler's. Made some chocolate chip banana bread in the afternoon. Must give you the recipe. Michael went to a party with the Davis's and will spend the night. I picked up Susan at New Life. She had a great week at camp. "Mom, I missed you, but I could have stayed two more weeks." Went to the Gibb's to pick up the frogs. Skittles died last night. Poor Kelly had to tell her. Susan handled it well and buried him later at home in the pretty box they bought for him . What a good friend Kelly is, to take the risk of caring for Susan's high maintenance frogs, and then to have to be the bearer of bad news. How kind of them to go to the trouble of finding a beautiful box at the dollar store to bury him in. Susan and I watched her camp videos in the eve. She is tan and even more grown up than when she left. Freeman got home early afternoon and went to wedding rehearsal of some friends.
Sat.-Phil, Philip, Ray got home around 3 this morning. Didn't get alot of work done today. Feel like I have company and am just enjoying the presence of those who were absent this week. Susan still basking in camp joy. She made chocolate chip banana bread and unpacked her bags, read a bit, and caught up with her bunnies. Christi came over for the afternoon and is enjoying Philip's presence. They went fishing, played Farkel, and watched movies. Michael got 'War and Peace' in the mail. He figures if he reads 60 pages a day, he will be finished with it by the beginning of school. Freeman's in John and Sara's wedding celebration. I'm fighting some sort of allergy to air conditioning or something.
Sun.-Stayed home from S.S. and spent time with the family. Went to church early. Enjoyed the worship service and PR's sermon. Alli spent much of the time giggling behind her bulletin.
Raced home and got a quick lunch. Phil and the guys had to go places. Alli stayed with Susan and I and we watched movies and made popcorn, taffy, and Aunt Annie's soft pretzels. I think I ate at least four of them. Michael had Gina, Travis, Chace, and Jordan here in the afternoon. They went down to the river and out to see Ice Age 3 in the eve. Judy called and told me to get on Face Book and look at Lindsay's grad photos. Alli got me onto her facebook so I could see the pics. Congratulations!
Janelle called. Micah is starting Kindergarten this year. Hard to believe. Missed Emma's third birthday party today. I'm feeling lousy with a possible summer cold or is it allergies? Didn't want to contaminate the little girls. Missed holding Adi in church today.
Mon.-Happy Birthday, dear Ruthie. Horst, that is. She made a cake for her birthday and took it to the bank to share. Susan and I went over to Bob and Laura Mc~~ and picked a bushel of green beans and a basket of tomatoes. They gave us cucumbers and canteloup as well. What a kind couple they are and truly godly people. They liked Susan's shirt. It says," Live your Life in Such a way that the Preacher Doesn't have to Lie at your Funeral." Something like that. He wanted to buy them for the children in his Sunday School class. Susan and I cleaned and froze green beans and watched a Monk marathon in the afternoon. Life is good.
Michael went for his training at Kroger's. He read 'War and Peace' for several hours.
Michelle called and invited us over for pizza. Lynn Furhman and Jacob and Rachel were there visiting. It was great catching up with her. She looks the same exept she is very blond and very tan. They are enjoying living near the beach in Fla. and seem to all be thriving down there. Lynn and her family were friends of ours in Pa. We moved to Va. and they moved to Pa. Helen and her have kept in close contact through the years. Michael joined us after his training and played Old Gray Wolf with his Hertzler cousins and friends after it got dark. The full moon made it a perfect game to play and I'm sure the little girls had their fill of good scares.
