Since I've lulled you into thinking I'm back to regular posting, it's time to yank the plug again!
Time to head out to the church building and see what sorts of bids we get back on the fellowship hall addition. The process to get here has been a year long, which is rather hard to believe. I'm just hoping we can pay for it now that we've spent all this time messing with it.
Much like the anniversary dinner next weekend. Thankfully, Reba's brother has come through with some major financial support for the victuals, so I am particularly grateful for that. But I sure will be glad when it's over. My mother-in-law, God love her (and I most certainly do), has not made this particularly pleasant, either for her children or for the invitees.
Tomorrow? Shopping. Which I'd really rather not get involved in, but I think a certain wife of mine is needing some decompression time.
Sunday? Meetings, meetings, meetings, in amongst all the ecclesiastical necessities of the day.
Monday? Early morning orthodontist appointment, meaning that I won't be posting until much later on in the day.
But you know what?
It's springtime.
When I cooked in the rain last weekend, I noticed that Jonathan's pear tree was in full bloom. Saw a robin hopping through someone's yard on Tuesday when I was taking Catherine to school. The forsythia's all yellowed up, and the daffodils are out, and the non-flowery trees all have that green knobbiness to their branches that signals it's almost time to bust out some leaves again, and the afternoons are light enough now for the kids to spend 10 or 15 minutes outside when we get home to burn off some excess steam, and I didn't have to wear a jacket at all yesterday.
Springtime's pretty nice, I think.
All of you have a wonderful weekend and I'll see you Monday sometime.
