Brief Recap

Thursday afternoon/evening ended up taking an unexpected twist when the 22 month old daughter of one of our chaplains fell off a dining room bench. God was good and certainly in all the details – allowing Ch. C to be home before surgery, quick healing, Christian neurosurgeon….and Sarah is home today!

Friday we were back in the saddle again with produce co-op. Our numbers were low but we found it was MUCH less work to have only 12 shares. ::snort:: We did have less variety and we miss that. I continued to work on my filing project. By Friday night I had everything in folders and the folders on my desk. My problem has been that the movers decided to just dump all out of drawers the last time we moved. Ugh. Hmmm….what else did we do Friday. We were exhausted. I ran errands in the afternoon. Mike got home late from work. We watched Happy Feet. Mike talked with Nicholas – I’ll write a separate post about that.

Saturday the older boys planned to pick up Matt, a friend, and head to the paint ball fields. They were to meet Steve and his boys there. Turns out the paintball field had changed their hours. The boys ended up going over to Steve and Debbie’s for a bit. Mike worked on his sermon all day. I continued working on files. We compromised on what had to be saved. I went and bought some “bankers boxes” and filled them with the bills etc from past assignments, the paperwork from home sales and purchases and statements from old bank accounts. Nolan and Zander occupied themselves shredding reams of papers that I thought could be shredded – 2 13 gal bags full.

Mike took me on a date tonight. We went to ZooKinis (are they local – sounds local). I was able to have soup and salad and he had a calzone that he said was really good. We walked along the river and talked. We got a call that we were out of milk again. Ouch. It hurts when I forget to buy that and Sam’s is closed. It’s 3.88 a gal at Sam’s and 4.48 at Wal-Mart. I bought 2 gal and will make it to Sam’s tomorrow…..I finished organizing files when I got home. We bought the current issue of the Consumer Report. Thanks, Liz, for the tip. It's on digital cameras.

I'm too tired to post pictures. I'll work on another post with pictures.

That’s the day……

HI:

The dr. took Dad off one pill that is to help a person deal with stress and depression. He took the med ever since he got hurt. The Dr. had asked him a year ago if he felt stressed/depresses.... Dad said he didn't think so.... The Dr. said well I do. So the meds for over a year.

Dad had an appointment this last week and the dr. told him to take 7 much smaller pill and that would wean him off them and then stop taking the pill.

WELL, said all that to say that on the lesser sized pill Dad is kinda his old joker sort..... and thinker. I sure didn't like those pills cuz they gave Dad the sleeping all the time thing.

ANYWAY, Friday he took me out to eat where the best onion soup is and the best desert, then took us over to buy a new dryer, and then on to a show. A real nice date.

It is always nice for any couple to break the routine and go out once in awhile.

I need you here to help me put a bunch of files in order. It is shredding time or outdated junk.
