What A Week!



Wow! What a week! Bob & Mike returned home safely from Florida. Mike is very excited, to say the least, about his new car. Then on Tuesday he went to take his driving test to get his license. He passed! So now he is able to drive himself to school, church activities, and do other little odds and ends for us. What a blessing this is.

On Wednesday I had the privilege to go to The Christian Womanhood Spectacular, held at First Baptist of Hammond. It was entitled, "Living on the Edge". Sounded perfect for me, and believe me it was. There were nine ladies from our church who attended. I believe each and every one of us benefited from attending. Debbie, Kris and I stayed in a hotel to avoid the commuting each day from home. Once again this was a blessing to be able to do this. It was the icing on the cake!

Then on Saturday we had a booth at Trade expo. We had our equipment there, but we also had some added extras that were a great success. We brought ALOT of our homemade goodies. We had lasagna, poppers, pesto, broccoli cheese soup, meatloaf, and our various degrees of salsa. We topped it all of by offering delicious BLT sandwiches (tomatoes & lettuce were from the garden, of course) made with pesto on them, instead of mayo. The crowd loved them. A big thanks to Kris for helping us out! And of course to Sam, who is now Zach's new buddy!

On Sunday we enjoyed Sunday School, and teaching in Children's church, and then a very useful message from Pastor Dave in the evening. Unfortunately, Bob was home sick today. He has bronchitis, and is on a couple of medications. He had to hear of our great day at church second hand. Things just aren't the same when you can't go to church. Bob seems to be getting better today.

Can't hardly wait for this week!
