How I am feeling today:
I am writing this on Sunday afternoon, and it really was a great day. We had wonderful church, then went to a new to us restaurant with our dear friends, David and Gerri, for Chinese!
On our way home Lynn and I deviated and drove south to the next county trying to locate a country church that Lynn’s family attended in the early half of the 20th Century. We had it on good advice that Lynn’s grandparents were buried there in the church yard.Lynn and I had tried to locate this church a couple of weeks ago, but this time we were successful!
Lynn was first to find his grandparents and aunt!
He couldn’t really remember ever being there before, but I imagine he was , but this is his paternal family, and they just were not that close. So it was a special day for him!
On my mind::
I know hubs was happy to have explored this part of his history for things on his side were always a bit obscure, while my side was well documented and we were spending summers on our lives going about reunions and family outings, while Lynn tagged along probably feeling a bit blue! It was grand to fine this part of the picture and we really had a wonderful adventure yesterday!
On the breakfast plate::
As always I enjoy my coffee and fruited yogurt! My hubby is so good to me!
On my reading pile::
It was a hectic week… I did get my Bible Study work accomplished, but didn’t get to read any in my Pride and Prejudice book. I have a birthday coming up soon and I found two new books on Amazon. I love the tie travel books by Lynn Kurland and there are two new books out since I last checked! So I have them in my Amazon wish list and hope to get them soon. We are traveling a bit for my birthday and would love to take one book along for the road!
On My TV::
When Calls the Heart is a show I really look forward to, Otherwise I am watching Youtube programs . I love home shows like Location, Location, Location the best.
It seems this is what I write every week.. when I’m working on a project, reading, or other quiet activity I LOVE to listen to YouTube music. Especially , Hauser on his cello!
On the menu today::
Breakfast: fruited yogurt, coffee
Brunch: scrambled eggs with cheese, blueberry muffins, orange juice
Midafternoon: 2 cups of Skinnypopcorn
Dinner: Chinese chicken and veggies, a one pot dinner with a small amt of rice stirred in!
From the camera::
I love our daisy garden. It is sooo happy and fun!
Looking around the house::
Over the weekend we drove to Hobby Lobby and I was looking for spring/summer flowers on sale to create an arrangement in my blue and white jar! I think it came out rather grand!!
I can hear Escape to the Country playing in the den.
What am I looking forward to::
This Thursday I will be hosting the prayer group here. I plan to make some special muffins with hot tea to share.. and I am looking for just the right praise song for the times!!I always love to host this group. They re my prayer sisters and we have Beene together for almost two decades!
To relax this week, I will::
I will enjoy reading and l listening to YouTube instrumental hymns. Such glorious music!!!
Prayer Requests:
All the many beloved ones who are suffering various illnesses and broken bodies, especially little Jackie, who broke his arm, and Cliff, who’s back surgery left him in excruciating pain.
We had several serious prayer requests in our Connect Group yesterday and it is so important follow through and not forget these requests!!
Praying for our broken nation and the leadership that is pulling the foundation out from under us!
Known and unknown world events that are shaking the nations with possible calamity and unrest.
A rapid end of the war in Israel that will bring peace!
Devotional/Bible Verse~
I love your daisy garden, how stunning. I'm glad Lynn was able to find his grandparents, what a wonderful thing. I know it's hard, my mother's side of the family is very hard to track down and I wish I could get all the info.
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed week!
I LOVE old churches and what a great find for your hubby. Family is Family. Hope you're having a GREAT week.
