Another birthday!

Sunday was Bible study and worship, like any other week. The exception was watching a movie, or a portion of it, projected on the wall during the sermon. The movie is part of a series released by a branch of our church body, titled "Come Follow Me". It was "Come Follow Me" Sunday which was the reason why this was done. Only once a year, right?

After church our group went to lunch at Chili's. We got there before Mike and Michael did, so Judy got a chance to tell the waitress it was Michael's birthday. She promised us that he would be given the royal birthday treatment, complete with singing. Just the way he would do for our birthdays!! I had a change in my order this time, ordering double chicken tenders and a single order of potato skins. Just to mix it up a bit! The tenders were simply giant, so four home with me, plus two potato skins. After the birthday singing, they presented him with a dessert complete with spoons so we could all get a taste. 

From the restaurant I run up to Great Hang Ups for the SoMMA opening Julia told me about. I walked in the door just as the awards were being handed out---perfect timing!  This medium is not my preference but the work was quite good, given that it was mixed media. Very striking collage and 3-D pieces!

I didn't hang around Hang Ups (ha ha) for very long but did get to say "hi!" to a bunch of folks I hadn't seen in some time. That's the fun of attending the openings---renewing acquaintences, plus getting to spend some time with Dee. Not the best time, but I promised her I'd come back next week when we can spend some time and they are not so busy. I really miss hanging out at the store all the time like I used to.

For our dinner tonight, needing to warm the house a bit, I made us a home-made chicken pot pie. Oddly enough, I had all the ingredients needed to throw a pie together.  Justin and I enjoyed our dinner while watching reruns of "Last Man Standing", my new favorite TV show. Still in production, which is extremely unusual for me, since I live my life in the past. He has the previous seasons on NetFlix and oh, how we laugh! Such a good show and good fun for us!
