We tried to go to Chipotle for dinner, but the line was long & we had something else we wanted to get to… so we tried out a local Sub-Sandwich shop, not impressed, oh well - at least we tried it…
So to make up for a so-so dinner I had dessert at the theater as we waited to see….
Star Trek in 3D…. if you're a Treky (I am, I'm an old geek) you should see it… very enjoyable, and the 3D made it fun. If you go in for the 3D stay for the credits at the end… worth it… Oh, and the ice cream was good too - not the best in the area, but quite good.
The next morning, Friday, we saw this little beauty outside…
He's a Goldfinch, native to this area, very brightly colored at this time of year… we've had a lot of them around. They have a wonderful song… such sweet little birds!! A friend told me recently that a flock of Finch are called a "charm" - how fitting!!
Friday night we went with our group from church to volunteer at FMSC (Feed My Starving Children), then afterward fed ourselves at Key's Cafe - a local family owned cafe (there are a few in the area) that serves good American food.
Saturday got frittered away running errands & baking cookies…
These were some cinnamon cookies made using a basic 1-2-3 cookie recipe found in the book Ratio by Michael Ruhlman and then adding my own twist. I made 4 different varieties on Saturday in preparation for…
Sunday! We had our last Young Adult class of the year, and of course I brought some of my cookies. Then the rain came, in buckets, and then in more buckets… and Brooks Pond returned…
That didn't deter our group from church… we met anyway for our Small Group get together, this time at our house… that's who the rest of the cookies were for!!
The rains were hard, but the garden still grows…
These are some of my Daffodils…
Monday - I spent some time in the Studio, it had been weeks - EEK!! I decided to start small & simple, and made up a batch of earrings…
Today (Tuesday) was my car's annual maintenance… so I spent most of the day hanging out at the car dealer - lots to be done. While there I worked on some materials for a Ladies Night that will be held by our mission team when we go to Ukraine, so the time was put to good use…
After the car dealer I ran more errands, and picked up my first new plants for the year - some bulbs I hope to plant later this week in some bare spots in the yard.
Tonight it's quiet, Jeff is off at band rehearsal… so I think I'll snuggle with the kitty for a while… Many blessings friends & family!!
