Dear family,
To
have a youth group descend on our yard to place and rake 5 yards of bark dust was
delightful! Bobby was a bit overwhelmed
because the team of 16 was so fast that they finished in an hour. I have to say thank you to all of you. I am very grateful, as this year I wasn’t
even there. I was at work. (I didn't add faces because I didn't ask each family's permission.)
Spring break was just another work week for
me. I enjoyed it and brought a co-worker
to the ER on one of those days. I am
glad she is all better now. That was a
little scary.
Bobby
and I enjoyed some quiet evenings. Seth and
Adriel remain sweet and are both plugging away at school.
The
church workday was a success. I didn’t
last long because my back hurts when I pull weeds, but I saw many people
happily working away. The church looks
beautiful now. Not a weed or plant out
of place, there are clean windows, dusted lights, and I don’t even know all the
stuff that was done.
Just
for fun, I’ll include the most bizarre conversation I had one morning. I was getting up at 4 AM, my usual time, and Bobby
said, “I dreamed you were scaring Seth.”
He sounded a little angry. I said,
“No, I dreamed I was helping him find a bee for homework.” Bobby disagreed, “No, I dreamed I told you to
stop scaring him, and you did it again anyway.” Now, I was getting a little
frustrated. “No, I dreamed it had to be
a live bee, and I was helping him.”
Bobby ended the conversation with, “You are lucky I didn’t push you out
of bed.” I left, and I knew this would
happen . . . guess what . . . Bobby doesn’t remember the entire conversation because
he wasn’t awake.
May
you be way less combative while you sleep.
May you enjoy the people around you and find grace and forgiveness
always. May you find help with the
garden if you need it, and may you be glad for the flowers. I didn’t cry this year because of the
weeds. Yay! The garden is under control with way less
fruit and mostly bark dust that I can poison.
Yay!!!!
Love and Hugs,
Cristy
