Today is my cousin Anita’s birthday – so sending a big birthday wish out to her, with fond memories of the week we spent with them in Philadelphia a few years ago. She is a great hostess and tour guide. Happy birthday, Anita!
I have to say that I felt more tired and achy this morning after my evening in the ER than I though I would. Not sure why – all I did was sit on that bed for 4 hours! But It was a calm morning so I was fine.
This was Mary’s and my last week to teach for a month or two. We are going on a rotation schedule with two ladies who have agreed to give us a break. We hope to teach every couple of months. The kids are good and a blessing to us but it’s time to take a breather. This morning Jackson put the huge puzzle together, which he loves to do.
The story was about the Roman Centurion who sent word for Jesus to come heal his special servant. Mary had the kids make centurion helmets and they really looked super cute!
Max came flying in the door before class with a big gift bag for me. I wasn’t sure what the occasion was – but he was SO excited. His dad was right behind him, grinning. Apparently when they were all shopping over the weekend, MAX spied a purple (favorite color) Snoopy (absolute favorite!) Halloween blanket (Max KNOWS I love blankets!) There was no dissuading him – he had to bring it to me! I was very excited too! He is just one of the sweetest children and a huge blessing to me – as is his whole family. I love that little guy!
I stopped on the way home and got some Claritin, as well as some paper products for Chrissy’s dorm room. I still have a few fall items I need for The Flax Festival but they aren’t out on display yet. I had part of a frozen pizza for lunch, but it was too harsh on my tongue (a side-effect of the meds) so I didn’t eat much. Then I finished the chore I started last night before I left for the ER. I took EVERYTHING off the shelves of the 4 bookcases and wiped them down, then rearranged them and put things back. Just a bit of change but switches things up a bit.
While I was cleaning and working I watched two DVD’s. The first was the American Girl movie FELICITY, set in Colonial Williamsburg. That’s my favorite American Girl movie, of course. The girls had about 8 or 10 of them. Then I watched the mystery thriller REBECCA, which is an old black and white. I love the drama at the end!
Now I will have toast and tomato for supper and probably iron what few things I did up in Friday’s laundry.
My blessing today was a no-obligation day!
PEANUTS Thought for the Day:
TOMORROW August 26th is:
National Cherry Popsicle Day; National Dog Day; National Fire Day; National Heroes Day; National Spark the World Day; National Toilet Paper day; National Women’s Equality day.
Yesterday’s fake day was National Netting Day. Tomorrow – a cherry popsicle is fun, and I use TP all the time! Happy new week! God bless…
