It has been an incredibly busy two weeks. A week ago Saturday, we participated in Sherri's memorial service in Fresno. It was a lovely service and it is always so nice to get caught up with family members from far and near! Then Tuesday that week, I drove up to Antioch to attend the memorial service at her home church. It was very well attended and was such a blessing to her Mom and Dad, Ken and the girls. It was also fun to run into an old friend from way back when I was in the college and careers group in San Jose.

Wednesday last week, I practiced with the worship team. Our pastor's wife generally leads from the keyboards with the band, but she has been struggling with a neck injury that has left her fingers numb and unable to really play as she would like. So, for now I am helping out. Actually Nolan and I both were asked to play with them and on Sunday we did! It was a little nerve wracking, but all in all it went really well. As our pastor reminded us in his sermon on Sunday, it wasn't how many loaves and fishes there were to feed the 5,000, it was that whatever it was, it was enough in the Master's hands.

Thursday, I went and met with the director of community education through Modesto Junior College and interviewed with her to teach a class this summer and possibly next fall about couponing and rebating and freebies. I will teach at least one class for them this Summer. So, that was very exciting and encouraging.

Frank is traveling at on this month, so we are trying to make the most of all the days he has home. Saturday we drove down to Fresno. My folks, took the grand girls to see HSM on ice. We spent the day with Sherry's folks and her brother Ron. We had a great lunch at Shanghai and then spent the afternoon hanging out with them.

Haley has been home sick today. She has a very bad cough and a low grade fever. If I had to bet, I think she will be home again tomorrow. She has been very run down. She came home from the ice show and got right on the couch and barely said a word about it at my folks.

Nolan crashed his scooter on Friday afternoon. He strained some tendons in his wrist and has a few things to fix on his scooter, but all in all everything seems to be okay. Lucky for him, he had his leather gloves on!

That's all for now.

Eeeek! Nolan's crash! I'm glad everything and everyone is okay. That boy should always keep very good health insurance!
Hugs to poor Haley. You're probably right about the run down diagnosis...I see it in Dylan and Sean all the time.
I feel a little cheated that I already knew most of the news on your blog this time : (

Hugs,

Weekend Treasure

  Here are some stock photos of the love seat, chair and ottoman we purchased on Saturday at the auction.  These pictures don't really do the set justice.  But we have determined that the retail price for these now discontinued pieces was $1899.  We topped out our auction at $500.00, so after sales tax and the 15% auction fee, we did pretty well.. paying approximately 1/3 of retail. As an added bonus, they were sold to us as "durahide" which means fake.  Frank and I used to say that Nogahide should have been named NOTaHide.  But after looking them up, they are 60% leather.. the parts that don't matter -the back, are not.  BONUS!  They are now all safely home and put away... where you say?  Where could you possibly have put all these lovely pieces of furniture? Oh, I forgot to mention that they are for the cabin.  The hope is that mice will be thoroughly repelled by the very idea of gnawing on cowhide.  And besides that, they ...

A Super Bowl Love Story

In late August 1996, I attended a bridal shower tea for my sister in law to be, Melanie Hull.  Her Aunt Shirley had created a beautiful party out on the back lawn, flowers and china and everyone in girly dresses. But most lovely of all was Melanie. I fell in love with her dress. It was my dream dress. Floral print. Georgette. Flowy. Bell/Cape Sleeve. Tea Length. Perfect Tea dress. I “pinned” it in my mind. That’s what we had to do back then. I knew that if I ever married – and hopefully that dashing Frank – that was the dress I wanted for my bridesmaids.  Furthermore… I had always hoped that if I could, I would provide the dresses for my bridesmaids. I had been in a couple of weddings and the expense was always difficult. It seemed like kind of a boobie prize to me. Hey, my dearest friends in the world, please be in my wedding so I can shove you over the precipice and into debt. Oh and make sure you check out my bridal registry! In January 1997, I was pretty h...

13 years old!!

Haley enjoying a DVD of her new makeup and her birthday jammies and her new Kirsten doll. Oh where does the time go?  13 years old today! The birthday fun really began last night.  We went to Marie Calendars, just she and I and had the burger meal deal - comes with pie.  Then she discovered that she could have a free piece of pie for her birthday so they gave her another piece to take home.  Then we went to Color me Mine to work on a ceramic piece for Daddy for Christmas.  There we discovered that she didn't have to pay the studio fee on her birthday.  Another surprise.  We spent the whole evening until closing there painting and having a nice time.  Frank got home about 10:15 and Haley opened the first of her presents.  A new pair of yummy warm jammies.  Frank and I had the fun of purchasing these together.  He discovered them first at TJ Maxx and thought they looked like his lit...
