Busy - With a capital "B"

WOW - what a busy week I had last week......and this week is panning out to be almost as busy. My father use to say, "Busy people are happy people." I know we are very happy, so it must be true.

Sunday, a week ago, was of course Easter so after church I prepared a delicious ham dinner with all the trimmings. Suzette brought a delicious grape salad and Marc brought ice cream to have with our Strawberry shortcake. Of course our usual 2 church services and Sunday school.

Then Monday morning I had my woman's home bible study and that night attended a special meeting at another church. I didn't get home until 11 p.m.

Tuesday night I went to my other friends home bible study. I was really torn between going to it and the special meeting but I am one who believes in commitment. Our bible study was awesome and I knew I'd made the right decision.

Wednesday, as always we picked Aric up from school. He & Mickey went to Royal Rangers at our church and Wantha Ann & I went to the special meeting. We didn't get home until 11 p.m. again.

Thursday Mickey finally got to attend the special meeting with me and we took David and Kathy, church friends, with us. We didn't get home until midnight!!! and the meeting was still going and we heard we really missed out on some good stuff.

Friday we picked Oksana & Aric up from school and brought them home with us for the week-end. We took them to McD's for dinner and then left them at home and Mickey & I attended a birthday party for a young woman in our church celebrating her 40th!!! We were home by 9.

Saturday Suzette, Oksana & I had a "girls day out." We all three had pedicures and manicures. Then we went to Ro*n's Ha*mburgers, one of our favorite places, for lunch. Then we went to 6, yes 6!!! different shoe stores looking for hot pink heels for Oksana to wear with her prom dress. She found one paid she "sort of liked!" so we returned home without new shoes. Ginger, even after you reminding me I forgot the camera :o( !!!! But I have a treat below :o)

Grandpa and Aric had their "boy's day" which included a trip to Mc'ds!!!!!!

Sunday was Sunday School and Church, so wonderful to have Oksana and Aric attend with us. Another BIG highlight is my friend Kahri and her 4 children visited our church........YEAH!!!! Her husband, Michael, had to work but next week they will all be there. For those of you who have read my blog long know that Kahri & Michael are good friends from when we met about 4 years ago at the church we use to attend. They have our little miracle baby, who was not expected to live, and is now almost 4 1/2 years old. She is a living testimony to God's healing power and the STRONG faith of her parents.

After church we took the kids out to IH*OP for lunch.

Grandpa had to be "cool" and put on Oksana's sunglasses.

I did get a picture of this wonderful trio.

Dad, Marc, got back to town and picked them up about 4.

Last night at church we had a special singer who performed. He was good.

So not one day last week was it just a "stay at home day"!!! We also had damp, coolish, rainy and stormy days all week long. Friday night we even got out Code Red telephone call that woke us up to be aware of tornado conditions....but it was just a hard rain, wind and hail. All was well.

This week is lining up to be almost as busy......I'll report on that later. Have a great day and forgive me for not making the rounds visiting your posts. I'll get back on track soon.
