You never gave up on me

by chuckofish

Well, the sun came out and it warmed up a lot here in flyover country. Everyone was out and about on Saturday. Daughter #1 and I ventured out to go estate sale-ing and drove all over but we were not very successful–got a couple of books and said ‘hey’ to Lamar. We were more successful at the Joann’s fabric store going-out-of-business sale. We went out to lunch, which we had not done in quite awhile, and got pretty silly thinking about Steve Gutenberg and his faded stardom. “The stonecutters aren’t doing their job.”

It was our Missions weekend at church so the OM and I were there twice. On Friday night we went to the banquet where we heard an update on the missionaries we support. There was more about that on Sunday morning during Sunday School and in the sermon. We picked up Lottie and brought her with us (the bud was busy doing something) and she went to Sunday School and then church with us. She seems so grown up these days! We went to the Sunny Street diner after and that was fun. Then we went home…

…and after the obligatory jump in the Beanie Baby mosh pit, we found all my old Barbies etc in the basement and got them out. She entertained herself while we talked to her Dad for awhile when he came to pick her up. Then they left to go to Lacrosse practice. Busy, busy.

Shortly after that daughter #1 came over to drop off Mr. Smith who spent the night with us, so that I could take him to the Kennel this morning while she left bright and early to go to Indiana for work.

In other news, back in the fall I got the idea of bringing some pelargoniums inside for the winter from @carlosgarciainteriors and I’m glad I did. They are doing great inside!

They are even blooming!

This is what I call exciting in my life!

And here’s a song I like:

Have a good Monday!

O to grace how great a debtor
daily I’m constrained to be!
Let that grace now, like a fetter,
bind my wandering heart to thee.
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
prone to leave the God I love;
here’s my heart; O take and seal it;
seal it for thy courts above.

–Robert Robinson, 1758
