Thursday –
Jamin woke up feeling sick today. I called House of Faith to let them know he wouldn’t be participating with his club today.
Debbie H came by and we went to lunch. At all but one assignment we’ve been told that “Olive Garden is coming”. We’ve yet to see an Olive Garden. LOL You can imagine that we were skeptical our first week here when someone said, “Olive Garden” is going to build here”. BUT they did. Debbie and I were there 15 minutes before opening today. Yumm. I couldn’t help but remember the last time I was at an Olive Garden with Darshia, Carleen and Nichole in Ashville, NC. Memories (hear the music).
I came home with enough time to make sure all children were properly clothed and headed out to House of Faith with the younger ones and Jared. We dropped Jared off. We ran to Mike’s office to pick up some Bible Study books he wanted me to mail to him. We were going to go run some errands….but I ended up calling Adrienne and going over there instead. Tricia did the same thing and we had a nice visit. Adrienne’s mom is down from Eagle River – ah I miss Alaska….and I miss that season of our family life.
This evening Arielle, Nolan, Zander and I went for a long walk. We fed the deer. There are some new babies. I thought that happened in the spring but there are a LOT of new babies. They are actually more fearless than the adults. There were two guy deer{s?} with new sets of antlers duking it out.
We solved the mystery of where the Narnia book went. It’s in Kuwait with Mike. :::snort::: We have switched to that other literary classic “Hank the Cow Dog”. I read 3 chapters tonight.
Bre called. They went to Witte’s End today. They say we HAVE to plan another trip to the Springs and take the little ones. I think we will….any reason to travel is fine with me….particularly in August…who wouldn’t want to leave a walk-in oven for the Rockies? LOL
I’ve been able to talk to my family today and am praying especially hard for them. It’s times like today that I despise being so far away. With Mike overseas I simply can’t fly to WA….but I’m trusting God’s timing in my sweet Aunt’s homegoing…and praying for Dad and my cousins…..
