Michael has been reminding me we need to renew our passports. We MUST get this done before we go on a road trip this summer. Remember we can't make it to the lower 48, or even our state capital, without driving through Canada. Michael set down to begin the renewal process. His passport expired 3 years ago. MY passport is good until 2029. We thought we got them at the same time. ::snort:: I DID have to collect everything to get Dad a passport when he moved up here in 2019, I must have renewed mine too.
Michael was busy going to get a photo and filling out forms.
I took Millie to the groomer.
I was out, Dad was fed, and Allie didn't have to be work until 11. I went ahead and ran all the errands I didn't run yesterday. I bought some groceries, dropped off library books, picked up a Sunday and Wednesday paper for dad (the only days the Anchorage paper is printed), went to a couple of shops where I had things earmarked to pick up for someone's birthday. Someone is turning 21 on Saturday (Shhh - it's Allie). I was thrilled to get a notice that all the online orders are arriving between now and tomorrow night.
Michael made this for me. Do you know what it is? I LOVE it. I've wanted one just like it since we were newly married reading the Chronicles of Narnia to each other before we had children.
I did NOT want a wooden prop, I wanted a REAL, fully functional light post... I looked around town and came up with some ideas and Michael made it happen. Our family room has a Narnia theme. Michael tried to convince me to install it in the orchard or the woods behind our house. We compromised. This one is in the family room. He is free to create more and install them outside.
I need to create and place Tumnus' packages and a red scarf on the arm....it makes me smile. So many happy hours reading to the kids on couches around the world... I want our home to be welcoming to grands or I'd set up Tumnus' tea party downstairs... but not the stone table.
I concluded the day at Bible study with Arielle and the ladies. This was the last night for this study on Daughters of Grace from The Daily Grace Co. The study was meaningful and I especially enjoyed being part of a multi-generational group of ladies all growing and learning together.
