Mon.-A lovely day catching up from the weekend away. Packed up some summer clothes and brought in some winter ones. Alli and Nathan stopped in for a little visit too. Phil, Susan, and I, watched some Diagnosis Murder in the eve. Woodstove needs some work and it's a bit chilly inside.
Tues.-36 degrees this morning. Wrote some notes for Encounter this weekend. Susan's friend, D., came over for lunch. It was nice Phil was home. It's a beautiful day.
Wed.-Great day in Farmville. Lunch with Lisa H. While there with her at Uptown got the news that Freeman and Alli are expecting a little girl. Her name will be Raquel Anne. Isn't that beautiful?!
Thurs.-Had coffee with Jessica at her house. Later, Alli and Nathan came over to our place for a visit. He is just so adorable. Got to see the pics of Raquel also and just had to hold them close for awhile. Apparently Nathan was engrossed in the whole sonogram process and is beginning to understand that there is a baby in his mama's belly. They announced it on Facebook with a picture of a pink pumpkin beside Nathan's bigger pumpkin that he painted. Both were beautiful. I had a nice time with Nathan showing him how jacks spin. I was saying "Stop that" to the jacks when they ran into each other and he giggled and giggled. I decided to see how long it would last. My voice got hoarse from saying 'Stop that" in funny ways. He giggled and giggled and laid himself back to laugh hard, bumping his head and needing kisses. We took a ride on the gator while mimi made herself a toasted cheese sandwich. We saw a turtle and checked the electricity at Happy Valley. (He likes to turn on the lights and fan.) Susan aced her English test plus got extra credit. I made two kinds of granola bars without oil. So delicious. Also packed for Encounter weekend and prepared for it by calling my small group. Michael and Phil are digging up the line that goes from the woodstove to the house. They are laying it deeper and checking to see where it is broken. It's been cold some of these days without any heat. Susan is working tonight. Jessica is babysitting. I saw Mitch Miller's obituary on facebook today. Dave Cook sent it to me. What a great guy. What a dear friend. I am so sad that he is gone. Jonathan's tribute to him on Facebook says it all. I saw it as we drove home from Pa on Sunday and almost made Phil pull off before I told him the news but there was nowhere to pull off and he had already heard my cry of sorrow.
Fri.-Busy day. Went over to be with Nathan while Alli did some things. Packed for Encounter. Went out early to buy something at Jess's work. Went to Encounter meeting and got ready for the eve.
Fri./Sat-Wonderful Encounter at New Life. Spoke Sat. morning. Wasn't very nervous this time. Loved my small group. What a joy it is to watch Women get free. Spent the night at Judy's. Up at 5:45 Sat to be at church by 7.
Sun.-Daniel came to pick up Susan and took her to church. He opens the door for her when they go places. They are now face book official. It is a joy to hear so many wonderful things about him. We all went out to eat at Shogun so the family could meet him. Tommy T. and Allison B. came as well. Watched a movie with Daniel and Susan in the eve. They hung here all day.
