A Thursday at home

Today was Bible Study day, when I and five or so other ladies meet to discuss our Sunday School lesson, we share the responsibility of teaching the study. One of us is a professional teacher, another is a jewelry maker, another is the driving force of our group, another helps with administration kinds of items, another is a vet, another is gifted in delivery. Each has their strengths and weaknesses and it is such a blessing to be part of the group.

We have always met in the fellowship hall...at least as long as I have been affiliated with the group, and we have been asked to relocate because of the unique systems located in this site. So we looked at the possibilities today, and became so excited about one of the sites, but it will require talking out a wall to accommodate our study style. So we will be in an out of the way space while the renovation takes place.

It has been a long time since I took a day and just stayed at home. Old Bike Rider will be late tonight, I am working on the wash, I need to mop the floors.

We have adopted a new family member, my husband's step-father's dog, Happi the schnauzer.
But as I am setting here, the butterfly bushes are in bloom and yellow swallowtails are working them. The air is cool and there is a wonderful light breeze...oh wait, that is the fan. =) But the air temperature is not oppressive. There are cherry tomatoes to be picked and one of the ladies this morning shared sweet corn (ready for its immersion into hot water!) And we will eat blueberries and ice cream tonight.

Our daughter-in-law is pregnant with her second child and just posted on her blog after a trip to visit family. Our daughter’s little boy has just turned over by himself.

I do not know how to express how relaxed, full-filled, blessed, and thankful I am for this wonderful afternoon.

It's really wonderful to see you writing, both this post and the health care one. You should find time to blog more often. It's a gift to yourself and to all of us. =)
