Friday afternoon was a grumpy weather day, in addition to the terrible ruckus going on overhead in the unit being remodeled. This stormy sky looks a whole lot worse than it was, but it did bring some rain with it. I knew some people who were doing a camp out with their Scout troop and I hope this did not wash them out. Since they are Girl Scouts, they might not be as willing (macho) to wait out the storm.
Yesterday and today we were blessed to have the sunshine back with us in this part of the world. My friend, Paul's, mom is visiting here from MI and I so wished for better weather for their time in the Sunshine State. We came through with the sunshine now, but on cloudy days, Sarah will provide the needed sunshine. Sadly, the gang is off to Disney today so I won't see Sue in church. The last two times I missed them under these same circumstances.
Judy C. called me last night to say she was not going to Bible class today because she was buried under her grandson's laundry. David came up from Gainesville bearing three week's worth, and his grandma is happy to take care of it. The ironing portion is the the worst of it, though, as he wears dress shirts for school, which require ironing. Hence, she has to get them done before he goes back to school this afternoon.
Since she wasn't going to class, I opted to stay in as well, but made sure I was there in time to rehearse with the choir, all three of us! It was a red coat day today, temps in the 20's when I first woke up. I summoned Carol from the class to come into the church but Sterling did not pick up on Carol's signal. Robbie went in to class to get him. We were singing the psalm from the Supplement as an introduction to the congregation, as they would join in on the 2nd half. We also sang one stanza of a hymn to introduce that as well.
After worship our group went to Chili's for a change (ha, ha!), without Justin. He was still in Tampa with his friends. David ordered the meal Justin often gets, while Michael ordered a giant burger. It was so tall, we thought there was no way it would fit into his mouth. He did it, because he loves the challenge. It's as tall as the type sold at Charcoal Grille or other up north places with cheese curds and fries on the burgers. Terri took a picture of it----that's how tall it was!
Terri and Judy were set to count the offerings today, but chose to do it later so we could go and have lunch. Then, they decided to go to the movies, seeing "Safe Haven", which I declined to see with them. Linda and I might go when she is here as we like to do when she is in town. Most recently we saw "The Help" for which Linda hurried to finish the book before seeing. I gave the book away after seeing the movie, never finished it!
I got home in plenty of time for Fox News Sunday and then watched a bit more news before switching over to Internet lectures. TV was quite dry today! What a mistake it was to use my can of air AFTER I had vacuumed my floor...I scared up some dead love bugs from my window sill behind my desk shelf so now must vacuum again!! It's all about scheduling, the heart of any project...
My little space heater is hard at it trying to keep my room warm for me. The thermostat in the hallway shows 71 in the house which is bitter cold by my standards. One can actually feel the cool breeze coming in when I open the bedroom door! It's remarkable! Justin likes to sleep in cool rooms, so he will be absolutely gleeful tonight. Praying for his safe travels back home from his time away....
