Sunny days, sweeping the clouds away....
It's a beautiful day here in Bport and I'm catching up on the things I didn't do over the weekend because the weather was great then, too.
Yesterday, after watching another shoot out loss for the Wings, Lars took a marathon nap and the rest of us enjoyed the outdoors. Al cleaned the garage (Hallelujah!) and I took a shovel and rake to the two months of dog poop in the back yard. We all helped out in raking up the rotting leaves that never made it out of the yard last fall and cleaned up any trash that wasn't stuck in the frozen snow. It was productive all around, complete with fresh air.
When Lars woke up, we loaded into the car and took a drive out into the country until dark. I had a pot of stew on the stove & Eden & I mixed up some biscuits for supper. It was a wonderful day all around.
Spent the rest of the week catching up Lars with his therapys, making appointments, hauling Eden to & from preschool, evening meetings, piano lessons, choir practice, LWML & on Friday, helping Pastor finish building bookshelves for his office. The Wings played a lot this week and all the games were televised, so that was fun.
Also did a lot of watching CNN on the Haiti earthquake coverage. I'm amazed at all the stories, both heartbreaking and hopeful, that are coming out of that rubble. So many people have lost everything, including their family, as well as their livelihood and future. Imagine, though, the fact that this earthquake happened helped so many orphans get to their adoptive parents months and years quicker than would normally take. Almost a week after the quake, still finding people alive in the supermarket. How blessed they were to be with food all around them!
This week will prove to be busier than last, and we are thankful for the ability to do so many different things.
