Mon.-Beautiful windy sunny day. The guys worked on the one acre property down the road. Susan worked on her bedroom and later went to the gym, got groceries, and cooked up some food. I worked outside, inside, went down to the river, and attended CCA's Civil War Recitatio. It was fun to see the kids and teachers.
Tues.-Busy day towards Richmond. To Ross where I found Nathan's birthday gifts and a few blouses. To a dental consult. Then to Whole Foods and Trader Joes. Talked with Lindsay on the way. Got home after dark. Put things away and went to bed.
Wed.-Processed honeycomb from Philip's tree. Did some wash. Went over to say good-bye to Tom and Kathy and came back with the food they didn't eat. Such precious friends and we miss them when they go. Guys are working over at Happy Valley laying down stone and Doyne is fixing the lawn. Later, Alli, Nathan, and I, went back over and walked. They came back and we visited awhile. Peter T. came over to work on a job bid with Phil and we got to hear part of his life's story. Everyone has a story. People amaze me. Susan took Davi to the vet today and then treated her to a McD ice cream cone afterwards. Davi could hardly believe the whole thing was for her. She watched Susan out of the corner of her eye, thinking Susan was going to eat it. Philip worked on his house. He had his shirt off today and got seriously sunburned. Michael studied outside and started a small group with Pastor Mike tonight at New Life. I made some food for the troups since tomorrow I'm going to the dentist and will need to sleep off meds.
Thurs.-Made meatballs, chocolate cake, exercised, etc. before Alli took me to the dentist. Then I slept all afternoon. Watched Monk in the eve.
Fri-Food prepped for Sunday. Cleaned house for Sunday. Washed clothes. Took two walks. One of them was with Alli and Nathan. It started to drizzle. Almost 80 degrees. Michael studied. Philip worked on house in eve. Susan home alone. Phil and I went to Calvary Chapel for their Good Friday service and saw dear friends and family.
Sat.-Shopped in Lynchburg for prom dresses with Jeannie and Claire. Susan found one at our last stop-Absolute Bridal and Formal. Found one exactly the color and style that she wanted on the sale rack for $180. Then, take 70 % off and it cost 56.69. Black strapless floor length. She looked stunning. So classy. Needs to be taken in a tiny bit. Otherwise, it looks like it was tailored just for her.
Sun.-The Lord is risen! He is risen indeed. Mom called with these words and I responded. Picked up Ivona on the way to church. Wonderful church service. Came home and rested and got ready for company. Somewhere around 5, Freeman, Alli, Nathan, Peter, Ivona, and Janelle came for a supper of ham, sweet potatoes, sweet corn, seven layer salad, red beet eggs, Peter's homemade bread and rolls fresh from the oven, chocolate cake, and Freeman's blueberry cheese cake. We had a great time. I asked my kids to keep their phones away and we talked, played Monopoly, and crawled around on the floor with Nathan. It was a good day and God really does make all things new.
