Mon.-Ran errands all day from Appomattox to Farmville. Car worked on/observed both places. Susan drove out too and got left back light fixed. She had practice for Fine Arts, went to the gym, and then to softball. I got my hair cut by Julie at Great Escapes. She is going to help me grow it out. Cut it and said, "Don't come back for 12 weeks. Unless you can't stand it. Then we'll do something." I like her. Stopped in to be with Judy twice. Held little Logan and got him to sleep. (In Appomattox, I bought the shore girls their bracelets at B&L. Also saw Lisa and Desi there at Baine's. Nice to run into them. Picked up Pig Roast invitations at Village Print Shop. Farmville-in eve.-Went to Susan's game. Met Tom and Kathy L. at Dollar Tree and let them to the field. Phil met us there. Great game. Susan's team won. Kathy was so into the game-whistling, yelling instructions, etc. It was fun. Then we went to New Life and heard Susan's trio sing and also heard her solo. That girl can sing.
Tues.-Cleaned out the car and packed. Washed summer clothes from old house. Dyed hair. Slept well.
Wed.-Finished packing. Made caramel corn to take along. Susan had practice at New Life and also went to the gym. We're going tonight to hear the whole Fine Arts Group perform. Went to Dr. F. She said I jammed my toe and should ice it. It's been hurting my left big toe when I walk barefooted. Today is my mother's birthday. On the 18th, it was 2 years since she passed away from this old earth and went to heaven. Thanks be to God for such an incredible gift. Life and More Life.(The Fine Arts performance was heavenly. Susan nailed it. What a gutsy unaffected voice. Her trio did well too and I also enjoyed hearing Savy and Livi sing by themselves. All of the kids were courageous. What a great night.) Philip taped part of Susan's song and posted it on face book. And she made Freeman cry. We were all there to hear and support her. That girl showed no fear. Some of her homeschool friends came too-Colton, Tyler, David, James, Andrew, and Julie. And Julie's mama-Kathy.
Thurs.-Left home around 7 and arrived in Morgantown around 2. Made a quick stop at BB's and saw Shelly King and Freda Petersheim. Went to Rosalee's and had a nice visit and supper with her, Jim, and Katrina. Stew and Annika stopped in and we had a high old time. Went over to Naomi's and visited with her and Mabe. Got a shower and packed up the car when Rosa came. Left Naomi's a little after 10 in the eve. and went over to Bev's and packed up some more. The car was packed all around us. Rosa and Bev felt like they were in a cave in the back. We got to the shore house in less than 2 hours. We unpacked our things and exchanged our birthday gifts and were in bed by 2 Friday morning. Bev got us all the book-"Power of Right Believing" by Joseph Prince. Rosa got us a worship CD by Hillsong and a Max Lucado devotional and some pens, flashlights, and a tool kit from Choice Glass. She runs that business very well. Naomi got us a beach necklace and I got three bracelets from B&L for them.
Friday-Woke up slow. Tribe of men working next door on house were very loud at 7 in the morning. Something new in the house-photo's of the ocean sunsets have been made into large canvas prints. Beautiful. We had coffee, a breakfast of Naomi's yogurt, homemade granola, fresh strawberries and blueberries. Talked and walked the boardwalk. Came back for lunch. Watched a movie. Took a nap. Went to eat at Nonni's Italian Restaurant where we go every year. Came back and watched another movie.
Sat.-Went to Atlantic City. Ann Loft was our store of great bargains. Ate at our Mexican Restaurant. Came back to Ocean City and went out on the beach to freeze. Got Phil's call about Susan making the Nationals with Fine Arts Competition. We called her and screamed. Then I made a movie of the ocean with her singing in the background. Rosa pulled up a clip of her voice on fb. So beautiful. Got another movie and were in bed by 10. Bev and I talked until after 11.
Sun.-Slept until 7:30. Had coffee on the porch. Rosa made crepes. Vanilla cream filling with fresh strawberries and blueberries with whipped cream. Shared in depth with each other this morning. Went to the beach for several hours. Bev and I saw dolphins. Rosa fell on the boardwalk and hurt her knee and shoulder pretty badly. Had a splinter sticking out of her finger. Went to Crab Trap for supper. All had salmon. Watched two more movies-comedies. Not so great. The best part was the dancing at the end of the movie. (Our dancing) (Bev's and mine.)
