Feeling Better...Finally!

 

Well, I can honestly say that I'm glad to see a new week. If you read my last post, you know I was sick all last week and though I am still not 100%, I am feeling much better today. 

I basically hung around the house all day Saturday, slowing doing household things, while David worked on our bathroom renovation.  I've always loved Saturdays when we are both at home, working on things. We take time to talk and have coffee together before going back to whatever we're working on. 

Sunday I woke and felt almost brand new, except still stopped up, so I decided I didn't want to go to church and sit next to people, sniffling or sounding sick, so we stayed home. 

Thankfully church is always live on Facebook, so I was able to tune in and hear my youngest son, Collin, leading worship. I had to snap a picture of him, just for my own photo collection.

I'm so proud of this young man! Well, both of my boys, of course. My oldest son, Ted, normally leads worship and Collin leads on Wednesdays, but Ted was playing drums yesterday, so Collin was leading.

These are both young men of integrity and I just love the way they turned out 😀 They treat their families as priorities, they treasure their wives and adore their children. And most of all, they love the Lord, which leads back to how they live their lives. 

And I love that I can watch and worship with them, even if I'm not there in person.

For lunch on Sunday, David and I decided to take a drive up the road (about an hour) to a little cafe where they serve delicious comfort food.  After being in the house for so many days, I needed to get out for just a bit and this was just what I needed...a hot bowl of Chicken and Dumplings. It was so delicious and I wish I would have asked for an extra portion to-go, because it really hit the spot!

Of course, while there, David saw someone we knew. It's a running joke in our family, that David will see someone he knows, no matter how far away we are from home. We once went to Colorado (about 24 hours away from us) and saw our next door neighbor's brother, who knew who we were. You can't make this stuff up! 😂

Our little drive and nice warm meal (that I didn't have to cook) was exactly what I needed to feel alive again. By the time we got home, I was feeling good enough to do a few things outside that afternoon, while it was warm. 

David finished putting up the shiplap in the bathroom we are renovating, we put out a few lighted trees in the yard and called it a day.

That evening we sat down to finish up the Harry and Meghan documentary, while I worked on the puzzle I currently have going. Talk about heartbreaking! If you haven't seen it and you're even halfway interested in the Royal family (which I wasn't until we started watching The Crown), you need to watch their story.

We finished the night with an episode of The Crown and I was done for the day. 

Today will be spent with grocery pick up, cleaning the house and getting ready for all the kids and grandkids to come for Family Dinner. We missed all of our get-togethers last week, due to my being sick, so tonight will be a welcomed sight. I miss them when we go too long in between visits! (I won't kiss any of the babies tonight though! Not taking any chances.)

Thanks for checking in and reading my ramblings 😀 You are greatly appreciated!

Until Next Time...

Blessings!
