MOTHER'S DAY AND BEYOND

Sunday was such a good day.  We began by going to church, of course.  We are studying the letters to the churches in Revelation and Sunday it was the church in Philadelphia.  How appropriate!

It was also the installation of Elder Rich.

Yes, that's my Joe there.  He made it to church even though he was a little shaky and is using a walker now.  Shawn helped him to the front of the church and back.  But after the service Joe ended up having a seizure in church.  That was the bad part of the day.

When we got home I found a message on my phone from my sweet daughter-in-law Christi wishing me a Happy Mother's Day.  That was so nice of her.  Especially since she is taking care of my step-son who broke his leg in two places.  He had surgery on it today and is in a lot of pain.  Please pray for him.

 Joe took a nap for a few hours and when he woke up he felt a lot better.  That was good because we had company for dinner.  Our friends Carole and Walt came over.  They are like our adopted parents and Joe calls them "Ma" and "Pa".  They never had children of their own, so they have taken us under their wings.  And are we ever glad they did!  We love them lots.  We told Carole it was "Ma Day."

I made roasted chicken thighs, green beans and my "world famous" potato salad.  I always say it's famous in MY world.  It came out really good.  I had made Carole some chocolate covered strawberries as a gift and she insisted on each of us having one for dessert.

We had so much fun and I didn't once think to take a single picture.  Oh well.  I told Walt that "Pa Day" was coming up soon and he would get a dinner too.  He was really happy about that.

Yesterday and today have been really productive days at work.  I have gotten so much done.  I am re-labeling and sorting the entire Biography section.  I'm about 3/4 finished and it's looking really good.

And we had a super good Bible Study this morning.  I made sugar cookies as our treat.  We talked about end times.  Everyone has an opinion on how things are going to pan out and what the signs are that the end is close.  It was a great discussion.   

So that about catches you up with what's been going on with me.  I'm going to head to bed because I am very tired.  (I was baking at 4:00 a.m. this morning!)  And tomorrow is another day... the LAST day of work before my vacation in Ocean City, NJ.  That is going to be SO much FUN!  So until later...
