Happy Monday

It was a very fine weekend. We had lots of friends over on the fourth and the rain stopped so that we could enjoy the fireworks. We got two displays from our driveway. It was great to have new and old friends over. In all we had 13 friends over. We had to huddle and eat in our garage due to the rain. Tom got out the chiminea and we roasted marshmallows and made Smores. It was Valentina's (David's wife from Russia) first time eating the treat. She thought they were yummy.

On Sunday, I played with the band at church, outside. We had an outdoor service. As we worshiped and I played, I am so thankful to live in such an absolutely gorgeous place. The rain held off for that too. Thank goodness, I had an electric violin in my hands as we heard thunder rumbling.

Sunday afternoon we went back to Palmer Lake with the Harnlys and Deb's Dad. We didn't catch a thing, again, but we sure had fun. I am blessed with great friends. I especially love friends that aren't afraid to bait a hook with a night crawler.

Tomorrow night, Mom comes. I am praying that we have a great visit. Also, please keep my sister, Jenny, in your prayers. She has taken off with her children and we haven't heard from her in a week. Supposedly she is in New Jersey. Ghetto, New Jersey. We are all scared and don't know what to do. She is running, I think, from herself. We love her so much and we pray that she comes to terms with whatever it is she needs to do, before it is too late.

On a brighter note, I am off to clean house and do some school paperwork.

Happy Monday to all.
