LOVING MY WEEKEND OFF


Finally - after several weeks of working Fridays or Saturdays, I am back on schedule with having my Fridays off. And this weekend and next I do not have to work Saturday either!!! Two 3-day weekends in a row!! Yesterday was a very relaxing day - slept late (late for me - 9:00) and then ran errands and came home and took a nap!!! Yeah!! Today we are going to take Terri's sister Melody out to lunch - Mexican of course. Then we are going to go see the new Gray Fossil Site Museum. They have recently received from the Chicago Museum - SUE - the T-REX!! She is on display at the Gray Fossil Site Museum. I love dinosaurs and this new museum is supposed to be quite nice. Then the rest of the day will be spent ??????

No plans for Sunday - just play it by ear. Of course, I will go to church in the morning and Praise the Lord!!!

Weekends like this help me to sit back and reflect on all the wonderful things God has given me and how much I love Him. I know that no matter what comes up, He is always there and I know He will show me what He wants me to do. And I pray I will always obey Him. One of the best gifts God has given me is my family. I love each and every one. Wish I lived closer to my family - it would be nice to see them more often. But when we do get together - boy do we have a good time!! Thank you Lord for my family and for the wonderful time we have when we are together. Thank you for blessing us and thank you for your love - which is beyond our understanding!!

Yes, we are a special family connected to each and every one of us by love. (The next time we take a family picture I get to be in the back.)

We do have a very special family! As large as our family is and as far away as we live from each other we still stay close. I love getting together with all of us. I get to be in the back the next time we take a family picture. I am older than Carole so I think we should put the 3 older ones in back and the 3 younger ones in front. That's fair right?
