..The shoppe was extra busy this weekend. Sunday's usually take a bunch out of us with church service and then the usual Sunday crowd. This Sunday after church I attended the funeral for the mother of a fellow vendor at the market. I have never seen so many folks in my life! I also had never experienced a funeral where they had flower bearers. A group of women chosen by the family to walk in front of the family into the church. I was asked if I would do this. Honored... humbled.. totally new experince..
I was just drained by the time we both got home and very thankful for the gift of cabbage and homemade sausage that were given to us that afternoon. I haven't tasted sausage that good in ages!
Monday we had errands in Durham, I came home and paked away all the Christmas stuff, and headed out again. I had crocheted another batch of baby things for the NICU at Wake Med in Raleigh were my oldest spent his first days of life over 30 years ago. They took such great care of them I try and thank them each year with some of my crocheted things. I pray for each baby and their family who will recieve the items. I know how hard it is to have a wee one all connected to tubes and wires. I was fortunate that Josh's friend Christy works at Wake Med so it saved a trip for me having to hand deliver them.
After that stop I went to my first sewing class at the local community college. I can tell this is going to be so much fun! The ladies are just the sweetest and I know it will be like a big hen party on Monday nights. I already have my first project to work on ready to go .
No new projects for my 15 crazies. I still want to start 15 but the not finishing part is hitting me in the OCD department so I am finishing up a couple of things before I do something new.
Bible reading is going strong though. starting Gen 27 tomorrow and finishing up chapter 8 in Matt. I woke up so grumpy this a.m. and knew that the thing I needed was some Bible time....
Crystal's book came out today! Check it out... Next week I will be offering a give away of her book so stay tuned... It is a MUST have...
Chris started us on a work out plan along with our bike riding today. After much research he chose convict conditioning I am not entirely sure what Chris thinks we need to condition for but I do know that the more I exercise the less my artiritis flairs and for me that is worth going into convict mode over.
I had a great hour long phone visit with my Grams, I think we covered and solved most of the worlds problems..as always..
Thought I would share our Bible verse for today.... its a keeper:
1Thess 5:17
pray continually....
..and have a fine day... all day long!
Enjoyed your blog today Lea, as always. Hope the rest of your week goes by simply, happy and fun!
