Mon.-Nephew Logan, 21, arrived this afternoon-just escaping his snow-laden community in time before he was held captive there by the weather. We had a nice time, just the two of us, visiting for awhile. Susan started her 12 week work out /healthy eating program today at the gym. She will go when she is out there already for basketball, etc. I'm giving her a school credit when she completes it, workbook and all. Meredith and Tommy joined Logan and Michael for a Farming Game around our kitchen table in the evening. I made pizza from a box and Meredith made maple syrup dip and had apples and pretzels to go with it. We got in rain what the north got in snow. Almost 12 inches of snow in Lancaster and they're calling for two more storms this week. It's nice to walk around puddles instead of shoveling snow.
Tues.-Michael stayed home from school to spend some time with Logan. Insulation is being piped into our garage. Susan out to Farmville for work out, drama, and basketball. Won their game in Hopewell Va.-something like 55 to 11. Erin W. and Michelle, her friend, came to Farmville yesterday and stopped in for an evening of popcorn, visiting, and a bed on the sofa and cot. Philip, Phil, and I, were the only ones from our family here. Logan was over at Tom's for the evening. Erin came back from China for her grandmother who was failing rapidly and was able to see her before she passed away. I think she was 95. Erin will be going back for one more term and then we will see what wonderful plans God has in store for her. Davi opted to stay out in the living room with them. She didn't ask to get back into our room at any time.
Wed.-Woke up around 4. At 4:30 Phil got up and made Logan breakfast and we met him in the office and prayed for him as he headed down south to work at a Gator Wilderness Camp School Ministry for a year. We'll see him at Michelle's wedding in March and then again at Christmas. We hope to go down and see him while he's there. It's about 12-15 hours away. He was out of here by 5. He is such a gem. I am feeling for his mama. We all had breakfast with Michelle and Erin before they left a little after 7. Susan went back to bed and when she woke up put in several hours of school time. I studied for Encounter and worked with Grams and More notes, etc. Made a huge container of venison vegetable soup for supper which should last us several days. Keep reading about the snow/ice/fog in Pa on face book. Makes me nervous for everyone. Some won't have power until sat. Others won't have it for another week. Radio news said that 3/4 of a million are without power in Pa. And here we were in the 50's with sunshine. Thankful. But worried about my friends whose husbands are out working in this mess. Jesus keep them safe. Michael was in a flashmob in Richmond at the Va. library. I wish I could have seen it. Philip and Susan went to youth group. Phil and I are hoping to hit the sack early. I've been reading the red letters of the gospels to see when Jesus mentioned the Holy Spirit. He didn't talk about Him much until near the end of His ministry. It is thrilling to read those red letters. What a man. Intimidating. Powerful. Not afraid. Yet kind. I would have followed Him everywhere.
Thurs.-Lots going on for everyone today. Susan won game in Richmond. I went to visit Lori K. for several hours. Time for bed.
Fri.-Happy Birthday Lindsay! A big box of kool aid playdough kits are being sent your way-for Adi's birthday. And a dipper/ladle for you. And a special little gift for Gil and a notebook for Emma and pj's for Ben. Hope you don't read this. Ran some other errands in town plus had a special visit with Judy. Went to Susan's game and they won again-5 wins in a row. Watched Susan make 3 shots in a row. Phil and boys all went to Encounter. I'm home alone for a little bit.
Sat.-Woke up and house was quiet. Susan slept in and all guys were at Encounter. Susan and I did some jobs and she rested and I studied. Janelle and Micah stopped in to give me a leather necklace to try out to review for her on Amazon. Susan and Julie headed to the roller rink. Cousin Fisher put a party together for the eve. I'm going to hit the books and study some more. My legs are falling asleep.
Sun.-Great morning. Testimonies from Men's Encounter. Michael shared in the morning service along with two others and after a short break after church with celebratory cake, we met back again in the main sanctuary to hear the other men share including all four of my men. So thankful for all God is doing. He makes all things new and is making all things new. Michael, Philip, and Jordan, got some food from Walmart and made it in the kitchen and hung out in the man cave all day until Philip went arrow head hunting with Phil later in the afternoon. Susan was in town for a little and then came home. Had a restful day and took a nap and talked with Susan and played dominoes with Phil.
