A Day in my Life - May

 Happy May to all of you!

This month the first of the month fell on a Sunday, so my day is much different from my usual Day in my Life posts.  Here's how it went.

Bob and I usually go to church together on Sunday morning, but our Pastor was on vacation, and Bob had do a few things in the service, so he was out of the house early, to meet up with the man who was giving the message and make sure everything was set.

I left the house about 8:45.

We've been having so much rain lately, and it had really stormed on Saturday night, so it was a treat to see this beautiful day!  This is the view of our road, right when I pull out of the driveway.

Another view of that blue sky.

I got to church about 7 minutes before 9.  Sunday school starts at 9, so I headed right to my class.

Sunday School gets out around 10.  Here's the narthex with people talking and leaving their SS classes to get ready for the service.

Not too many people in the sanctuary yet, but by 10:15, when the service starts it's quite full.  We had a wonderful time of worship followed by a message on being made new in Christ.

We usually get out around 11:45.  Then we make our way out, do a little talking and make our way to our cars around 12:15.

Here's the view leaving the parking lot.  What happened to that beautiful blue sky?

Som dogwood trees I spotted on the way home.  We don't have much green yet, but these signs of Spring are very welcome!

We had an easy lunch - fajita quesidillas.  You use the same thing you do for fajitas, but put it between two flour tortillas and grill them.  So good!

It was a lazy afternoon.  I even took a nap, which is something I don't do often.  It felt great!

I started on next weeks Sunday school lesson.

By supper time, it was even darker.  The sun never came out - but it didn't rain either.  This is our back yard.

We had tuna melts for supper.

Then we watched Murder in Paradise, a British Detective Show, that I know some of you watch too.  It's a favorite over here.

It was a nice, relaxing day, and a good way to start the new month.

Girlie weekend

 We had our girlies overnight this weekend.  We always have fun together and we did again this time.  I apologize right now for all the photos!

Laura and Aaron brought them to our house and we all had supper together.  Before they left, the girls talked them into playing some Wii games.

Here's Alaina racing Aaron.

Laura and Alaina boxing.

Laura and Aaron left and the girls put on the pj's.

Alaina had to show us her sloth pj's.  :)

Then we played the game of Life on Wii.  

It was a long game - took over 2 hours!  But we sure had fun and laughs.

The next morning, Bob mad breakfast for the girls.  Cinnamon rolls made in the mini waffle maker.

They turned out good - and Ruby said Grandpa was a better cook than Grandma.   :)

Then the girls talked Bob into setting up the playhouse downstairs again.  We had taken it down at Christmas when Andy and Nikki stayed over, and the girls have been missing it. This is a playhouse Bob built for our girls when they were little.

Happy girls!

After that, we did some painting of little canvases.

Alaina mixing up paints.

I found a kit that let you spin and tilt the canvas to move the paint.  They also had a tip from Bob to use a straw to blow it.  (Not my idea, because you know it made a bit of a mess, but they had fun!)

Alaina's finished art work - she said it's a giant wave.

Both girls beautiful works, setting out to dry.

They had been playing on the piano, and Ruby called Bob and I in to listen.  She said Alaina was doing a recital and we had to "encourage her". 

So we listened and clapped!

Then it was time to head home.

We stopped at Great Grandpa and Great Grandma' house.  We brought McDonalds and shared fries with them.

Great Grandma brought out this parrot that records what you say and says it back.  They thought it was pretty funny.

After a fun visit, we brought them home.  What a fun filled time we had!
