I spent most of the day trying to ease myself back into being a productive part of society. It wasn’t easy. My muscles still ache and I have trouble relaxing and sleeping. I went outside a bit after breakfast, which were pancakes. It took me almost an hour and a half to get dressed, mix up the pancake batter, cook them, eat, and clean everything up!
Then, about 11:30am, I ventured outside a while. I knew the new grass needed watered and some of the plants. Of course later this evening, it rained! But the rain brought beautiful skies and an amazing rainbow. Tomorrow night’s lesson is Noah, so good timing, God!
Or and ark?
Two of my neighbors (Sharon and her dog Daisy, and Karen) were outside and we stood on the lawn and chatted for a while. I found out that Mr. G’s son Michael is moving home from Florida to take a local teaching and coaching position. And I hated to hear that a friendly neighbor dog Max crossed the rainbow bridge and the family is grieving. I sent them sympathy email. So I’m sort of caught up.
Once I came back inside I got a shower and put on better clothes to be ready for teaching Jonah at VBS tonight. I still had an hour and a half so I balanced my checkbook (finally got it!), re-read tonight’s lesson, and organized my carry bag.
I’ll share a few pictures each evening. The decorating gang really did a great job, and all the ‘kids’ spaces looked like the Big Top! If you attend this week, don’t forget to stop and pick up your tickets at the front booth!
Dianne warned me that a lot of the kids’ families were out of town for the weekend, so I’d have a crowd tomorrow night and forward. Tonight there were 3 little ones, all non-members. Two of them were 3 years old and we had a 2 year old as well. I think the lesson was a little long for them – we’ll see what tomorrow night brings. They listened and sat better than I expected, but it took a little more time than I had budgeted. They had time to catch their four fish and collect their bags before they went to do their crafts and get their snacks. The one little girl seemed to really get it – the other two were more impressed that their table was red! One successful night; four more to go!
PS – it was strange to finally mix with society after five days of seclusion!
My blessing today was being out in the sunshine, fresh air, and just feeling myself smile!
PEANUTS Thought for the Day:
TOMORROW June 10th is:
National Frosted Cookie Day; Belmont Stakes; National Train Station Day; National Ballpoint Pen Day; National Black Cow Day; National Egg Roll Day; National Iced Tea Day; National Email Week; National Pet Wedding Week; Superman Week.
Yesterday’s fake day was National Light a Candle day. Tomorrow I’ll celebrate iced tea and emails! I don’t know anybody marrying their pet. God bless!
