The Girls go to Sabbath School

Dear Family and Friends,

Its bedtime now.  I started early this morning, took the dog to the park for a walk in the cool morning air.  It was a lovely morning.  Then back for a quick shower and off to collect the girls.  They were both dressed in little dresses and were smiling, ready for the trip.  We had a nice 25 minutes in which Keanna read her book and Kallie kept up a running commentary on the cows, horses, birds and what was on my phone.

At SS we found that each girl was the total attendance for their division.  Later a little boy, Nathaniel joined Kallie at SS.  The story of the day was when the men who surrounded Jesus were attempting to fish but were coming up empty, Jesus yelled to them from the shore, try fishing on the other side of your boat and they found many fish, too many for their small boat.  So today found the two little tykes sitting in a tiny boat with little fishing poles with magnets on the end of the line catching fish, it was so cute.  Then Kim and the kiddos sat by the little fake fire munching their gold fish crackers.

After SS we met Nikki at the Mall and drove over to Olive Garden.  We had the nicest lunch and our waiter was incredible.  Just unbelievable good and took perfect care of us.

Then we went our own ways and I drove home taking a detour to see the water safety event being held at the marina.  An old friend from the teen years now works for the state and was there in a booth helping people learn how to do better on the water to be safe.

Now we've just come from the Red Robin where the food was so good.  I picked up a coffee maker that makes one cup at a time.  I've thought about having one for a very long time and now I do.  Marilyn quickly assembled it and I'm sipping a cup of decaff right now, pretty good and took about a minute to make.  It can make tea, hot chocolate, all kinds of hot drinks and does it totally automatically.  Pretty fancy.

Tomorrow is a vital day in appraisal production.  I'm going to start as early as I can and hope to get 5 or 6 reports written and shipped out during the day.

I have rejoiced in the Sabbath hours today, I'm relaxed, rejuvenated and ready to work.

Sending love to all,

Tim
