Okay, up to speed now. Next Sabbath read 1 Chronicles 21-through the end. 1st Monday's class is moved to Tuesday due to revival going on at church. Betty says this is a better day for her anyway so maybe we'll switch to Tuesday???
This morning I went to a Peter Rabbit tea party with Glenda and Rachel. Rachel (age 3) was shy for a long time but by the time the party was over she was starting to warm up. Mrs. Osiek was as always a great hostess who thought of everything and served delicious food, her scones with blackberry jam were my personal favorite. she had goodie bags for everyone as they left and her daughter was very sweet and looked like her mother. Mr. Osiek had a new puppy, I think about 11 weeks old, a Bernese Mountain dog from Switzerland. Puppy fur and this one had lots of it, there is nothing so beautiful to feel as puppy fur. The dog had a beautiful face, too. I always enjoy talking with Glendaso it was nice to spend time with her. She's one of those people you can be honest with and we still like each other! Probably because we both have awry sense of humor. I'm so grateful for God bringing her into my life! Speaking of being grateful, I'm grateful He brought Sheryl to live here and attend Delta Church because I so love her and Pam's music. Pam, her daughter plays the piano beautifully and Sheryl plays the violin wonderfully ad-lib through the church music and I appreciate it more than I have words to express.
When I got home I threw together the food i had prepared for Edna and Bill (Edna had her left upper lobe of lung removed due to cancer- never smoked)They weren't home but Pat and I enjoyed the drive into Roubideau Canyon (pronounced Ruby Dew). We drove quite a long way up there and I found 3 more rocks for my rock garden. Then on the way back we saw Bill driving down the road so we pulled over and talked to him. He said Edna's chest tube was still draining quite a bit so they decided to keep her a couple more days. All I could think of most of the way on their road was how much this was going to hurt poor Edna to drive home on this rough road. I hope she takes her pain pill about Delta so it will be kicked in full strenght as she hits the rutted rough dirt road.
By the way Rachel said, on the way home, "Mommy, everytime we go to people's houses they give us presents!" She was very estastic. Aren't kids wonderful!
So, Jesus, we thank you for giving your life that ours might be saved. That we can rejoice in children, friends and surgeries that once were not possible to prolong our time with friends. That there are still rough roads and traces of what the flood did to our earth; so visible in a place like Roubideau Canyon. I can't wait until we can see the movies in heaven about things like the flood. How awesome it will be.
My friend Aleta died last week and I am already missing the Spring gardening with her. She taught me things like you can break off the side shoots on tomato plants and root them in water and have lots of tomato plants for the price of one!
May we all have a good week and find special joy in our life because of the simple things that God gives us.
