A Little of This and That

We were planning to go shopping at Michaels today but Beth woke up with a stuffy nose and a sore throat. So I took down some cough drops and extra tissue, and she's having some EmergenC. I can hear her laughing at whatever she's watching on TV, so she's feeling 'okay', just not well enough to go out. We'll try again later this weekend. 

I went down to the waterfront earlier this week and got to see some seals! We've lived here for more than twenty years and I've never seen seals close to the shore. There were four of them and they were playing and 'honking' (is that the sound a seal makes?) It was amazing!





We put up a pre-service slide on Sunday letting people know our class is resuming on the 16th. It's really happening!


I'm flying to San Diego next week to see my sister for her birthday. I haven't seen her since July and I'm ready for some good 'ol sister time. She's already called me to see what kind of junk food we want to have. 😊

Ahh...sister time. I'm sure it will be a good time for both of you. We're flying to Dallas in March and I'll have some sister time and brother time with my youngest siblings. Love the new header photo!

I like the new header! Cool pictures of the seals. So nice that you are going to see your sister. My sister lives in Temecula which is about 45 minutes from San Diego. Have a great week!

Cindy, so good to drop in for a visit with you and Beth! Hoping she feels better soon! Sister time is always the best - there is nothing like it! Beautiful picture of you and your sister! How awesome to see the seals playing so close to shore, what a gift from the Lord! The class sounds wonderful. Many blessings to you!

I downed a glass of EmergencC this morning! It really does seem to help. I pray Beth feels better soon. My those seals are close! I see dolphins here, but not quite so close. So happy for your upcoming trip to see your sister. Loved the pictures! Have a cozy day, my friend.
