A day in my life - April

I'm so happy that April is here!  Spring is in the air and I'm ready for sunshine, warm temps and flowers. 
It was a busy day for me - here's how it went.





April Fools!  I started out the day by setting up this prank on Bob in his bathroom.  It was an easy, fun thing to do and it made him laugh.


Then, I headed downstairs and spent 45 minutes walking on the treadmill.


After walking, I got ready and had breakfast - a boiled egg.  I'm a creature of habit and this is my usual breakfast.  I did a little straightening up around the house and then headed out to get groceries.



It was a cool and cloudy day, the temp was 42 when I left the house.






Here's the grocery store.  It was a frustrating trip for me because for some reason, the produce dept was out of so many things.  I've never had this happen - no regular tomatoes, no raspberries, blueberries, hardly any peppers...  So I'll have to go back later.  I also ran into several people I know and did some talking to each of them.  That was nice, but it made the trip longer than usual.  

I got home, unloaded the groceries and had some leftover chili for lunch.  Then I headed back out.

I've mentioned before that I do a newsletter for my church. On this day a friend and I went out to interview a couple for an article in the next newsletter. I try to do a person or couple every month so we can get to know people better. We had a nice afternoon, looking at old photos and talking about how God has worked in their lives.  We were there for several hours and got home about 3:30.




When I got home it was a little less cloudy and I walked around the yard. We have some crocus ready to bloom!







I also found that Bob had put up this house number sign while I was gone. Our son Andy made it for us, and we were waiting for the weather to improve to install it.  He also brought our porch chairs and table out from the storage barn.  This is also a happy sight!





Shortly after 5, we drove to our church for supper. On Wednesday evenings we have supper together and then there are classes for kids and some for adults.




Here we are in the gym, enjoying good food and fellowship!







Bob had a men's group after supper.  I came home and did a little reading in this new study I'm doing that starts this coming week.  It talks about sins like pride, jealousy, sefishness... and should be a good one!





The evening ended with the Survivor show, which I'm a big fan of.

Another good day!

Dear Mari, the wooden guy on your car vent is cute. On your grocery trip...you mentioned that the produce department was out of so many things. Here in Quebec, one of the largest grocers called Metro is having some sort of strike and this is affecting the produce section in a serious way.
Good food and fellowship is great.
