Hello friends! I can't believe another week has gone by so quickly. My days are so busy right now. Let me tell you about this week.
Monday Joe and I went to the Nursing Home. Pastor gave the message and I got to hear what I had missed on Sunday because I was teaching Sunday School. After we were finished Rick, Joe and I went to the Ritz Diner for an early dinner. The food is good there and the service exceptional. We just enjoyed being together and having time to talk.
Tuesday I led the Bible Study. We continued on in 2 Thessalonians 2. It is a really interesting study.
Wednesday Joe and I joined Rick to see if any kids showed up for New Horizons (our youth group). We hold it from 4:00 to 5:00 p.m. No kids were in sight. So we were about to leave when four girls came in. They were kids from down the street who used to be in my Sunday School class but I haven't seen in at least 18 months. We played Uno and talked and they said they were coming back next week and maybe on Sunday.
By then it was too late to go home and get back in time for Bible Study so we ran over to Shoprite, ate dinner, and then went back to church. Just Pastor, Joe and me but we had a good study.
Yesterday I finally had a day off but I spent most of it sleeping. I'm tired and I'm not as young as I used to be.
Today I didn't wake up until 8:00 a.m. I had to rush around getting ready to pick up Kathy and get to Crafters. I got my temperature blanket caught up to yesterday while I was there. I must take a picture of it tomorrow so I can show you.
As I was going to make dinner tonight, Joe said he was not feeling well, didn't want to eat, and went to bed. I had a salad I had bought yesterday from Dominos so I had that. It was good.
I have so much cleaning to do and soon! This house is ridiculous lately. I think that will be what I do while Joe and Rick go out visiting tomorrow.
One more cute picture for you before I get going. Jack was sleeping in Joe's chair the other day and I just had to get a photo of it. So adorable! I don't think he knows he's a cat.
See you all later. Have a good night.
Kathy
Hello, friends. This year is just moving along, isn't it. Welcome to April, one of my favorite months. Winter is gone for sure even though there are some chilly days. I've been able to wear a sweater instead of a heavy jacket lately. And things in the yard are starting to blossom and leaf out. I will be showing you soon.
But let's look at March. In the beginning of the month we celebrated Fastnacht. I love those doughnuts. And even though I don't keep Lent, per se, I do enjoy Fat Tuesday.
After watching "The Great British Baking Show" I began baking. Although I have fallen behind on the things I want to make. I did make a lemon blueberry loaf and some blueberry muffins. It's blueberry season so I think there is some more blueberry baking in my future.
And then there was Pi Day (3/14). I ate pie.
Hmm. Seems like the beginning of the month centered around eating desserts. But there was a Saturday where Donna, Carol and I headed out to Lancaster County to Paradise Bible Fellowship Church to hear a speaker who had been raised in Nazi Germany. If you didn't read that post, please do. (READ IT HERE) It was a wonderful day.
St. Patrick's Day was fun, although low key. And then came Spring! How I love Spring!
But last week Joe and I got sick. We had forced down time. Fortunately we are much better this week. Yesterday we went to the Nursing Home and then Rick went with us to Ritz Diner and we had an early dinner. We haven't done that in a long time and it was fun.
And now I have to get ready to go teach the Ladies Bible Study. It's another busy week and I don't know how much I will be blogging. There just isn't the time anymore. But I will try.
Until later...
Hello, friends! Did you miss me? I had some problems with my computer. It is still giving me some trouble, but I think I can get this post finished.
This has been an interesting week. On Monday I got sick. Very sick. I think it was some kind of a stomach virus. I decided the best thing for me was to stay home and not go to the Nursing Home. So I drove Joe over to church so that he could get a ride with Pastor and Rick and then came home. Later Monday Joe also got sick. We ended up sleeping instead of eating dinner which was probably the right thing to do. By the next day we were both feeling better but not completely well.
Tuesday I cancelled Bible Study and spent the day watching TV and sleeping.
Wednesday Joe cancelled evening Bible Study. He still wasn't feeling 100%. I got up at 5:30 a.m. and left at 6:30 a.m. to go have an ultrasound. The sun was just coming up when I left.
There was quite a bit of traffic, but it was moving so that wasn't a problem. I was told to get there at 7:00 a.m. and I got there at 6:58 a.m.
I was able to get a handicapped parking space right across from the entrance.
I was a little nervous about the test, but I had a really nice tech take care of me who even had me laughing. Her name was Angelica and she was from Russia. So very kind and nice to me.
I left the hospital at 8:40 a.m. and headed home. But by this time it was really rush hour with people heading to center city (the same direction I was going) and the traffic was terrible. It took me 40 minutes to go 7 miles. A lot of the time I just sat there.
I took the last picture while I was sitting still. NEVER take a picture while you are driving! I was about half-way home at this point. I was very happy to get home and ended up just relaxing the rest of the day. I must admit I didn't feel all that well after I had to drink 16 oz. of water for the last part of the test.
Thursday I finally felt well enough to get out of the house. I just went to Wawa to get something for lunch but it felt good to be outside. I also started cleaning the living room. It is a big job but at least I made a start.
Yesterday I continued with my cleaning. It was trash day and a lot of things went out in the trash and recycling. I did so much and I look around and it looks like I did nothing. *sigh* There's just so much more to do. But at least I am working on it.
I will continue on today. It is supposed to get up to 75*F (24*C) and be sunny so I want to spend some time outside. And I want to finish up my kitchen counters. But I also have to type up the church bulletin and a poster for our next Saturday matinee. So we will see how much actually gets done.
Here's a few pictures I haven't shown you from last week.
I didn't get to see the super moon. There were too many clouds. But I did get to see it online.
I got myself a shamrock donut at Wawa. It was really good.
And I found a cute wreath for St. Patrick's Day at Target. I paid $3 for this in their Dollar Spot.
And lastly, here's my baby Jack taking a nap. He's a sweet cat even if he does have his moments.
And with that I am going to end and get some sleep. Hope you all have a good weekend.
Kathy
