Weekend Happenings

Well, the weekend is almost over and I have had a productive one of trying to finish up some house projects before the "big game" (Go Pats!) this evening, the arrival of my Mom and the return of the boys from being with Dave. Finished the touch up painting in the guest/playroom and when I went to finish the living room and opened the paint can...the paint had dried up!!! So that will get put off until I make a trip to Lowe's.

Since I have been working weekends for 4+ years, church is something that I had not been attending on a regular basis. While I was busy working, the church I used to attend had a "shake up" (to make a long story short) and the former pastor is no longer there. Have been back to visit, but it does not feel the same and I have decided that I will have to begin the search for a new church body. To be truthful, I hate looking for a new place. I like being rooted somewhere and involved, not feeling like a visitor every where. Since I have been in this area for so long, I had visited many of the churches prior to settling on my previous one in 1995! I know what you might be thinking that a lot can go on in that time and churches can be and probably are different from then and now, but it is the process, I think I do not enjoy, not so much the going to the churches. Anyway, today I tried a Methodist church that I have been driving by for years and the were having their service outside today and it was a beautiful morning! Nothing like this beautiful Florida weather to remind us why we live here and that God made a beautiful earth! I liked it and they have lots of activities for the family and children and studies where one can plug in to learn and grow. I will see how the kids like it the next time.
I am beginning the search for vacation spots for the summer for the boys and I. We are thinking of meeting my brother, Steve, and his family in TX to go to Schlitterbaum Water Park. It is one of the top 10 in the nation and Adam and Alec LOVE water parks so I am game. If anyone has some other ideas, please leave me a note. I can add it to our vacation folder! Am always looking for good ideas! Thanks for sharing in our lives!
