I can't belive it has been a week and a half since I posted! Where does the time go?
I had a good week last week. Worked Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and then had Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday off. Thursday I worked out in the garage finally, took a bunch of stuff out to the shed. Made quite a bit of room in the garage, actually got two cars in it again. I also put the plow back on my truck. Friday it started off sunny then started snowing mid morning for a little bit. Then it snowed heavier in the late afternoon. By evening it turned to a sleety/ rainy/ snowy mix and then it froze. The roads were a mess. We went to Good Friday Service. They had a Tenebrae service, which was real neat. Very introspective. I do not believe I have ever been to one.
Saturday I was suposse I imagd to go down to Bourbon to facilitate a group that was coming in to work on one of the Tornado rebuild houses. Cal a call from Chris late friday night saying the group had cancelled. He wasn't sure, thought that they were from Michigan, and Michigan really got hammered with the snow (like eight inches). We only had an inch or so, not even enough to plow. When I got up Saturday we had gotten more snow and it was still snowing. Went to my study, and then went out plowing driveways. Did ours before I left, did Mom's after the study, went over to do Missy's and she didn't even have enough to plow, I ended up just shoveling hers. I then went over to Phil's and plowed his. In the afternoon the sun came out and by evening the roads were all clear and melted. Leigh, Mom, Leigh's aunt and I went to church service Saturday night. It was pretty packed. That was nice to see for a Saturday night, because they have been running pretty light. Rick had sent out a pleading email asking people to consider the Saturday night or Sunday early service, because they expected the 10:45 to be SRO. I imagine people (like us) took the opportunity to come Saturday night so that they could spend time with family Sunday. Again the service was very good, and Rick had a powerful salvation message about where our priorities should be.
Sunday Leigh , Mom, Leigh's aunt and I went to Old Country Buffet for breakfast. We then went over to Mom's to celebrate my birthday, which was Saturday. Yeah, 49, one more year until I am o the slippery down hill side. Where did the first 49 go? And what have I accomplished? That is another blog, another time. I opened presents, got a book by Max Lucado, silicone cookie sheets, and money (always good). We then chatted (or the others chatted while I napped), then played Skip Bo. It was a very nice time. I then came home and took the plow off my truck, because basically all the snow had melted. It didn't get all that warm, mid 30's, but it was sunny all day.
Today was sunny and it got to the lower 40's. After I got home from work and we ate, Leigh and I took the puppies for a walk. we haven't done that in quite a while it was nice and relaxing. Going to go. Maybe if I blogged oftener they wouldn't be so long!
