Good morning! It has been a minute since I have been here it seems. I do miss the space, but life has been a lot lately, so I am hit or miss these days with blogging. I am trying to keep up with reading others posts though. Here is a little recap from life lately, including the weekend.
First, actually throwing it back to last weekend, my daughter and I drove to see my sister-in-law and niece who were back in the south for a few days. These cousins have been close since day 1!
My daughter helped me serve dinner last week at church. It was a fun to do that with her.
The weather was delightful that evening, so we came home and took a walk in our neighborhood. Look at this sky and all the ducks!
The next night, I was serving dinner to families at our local children's hospital and also said farewell to this co-worker who is moving to do her child life internship in another state. She will be missed!
I noticed my youngest had put a sticker on her car represnting SCAD. We will be headed that way in a few weeks.
One of my closest friends brought me these sweet flowers Friday. They are so pretty and was an encouragement.
Saturday, we explored a state park about an hour and a half away in a small town where I had not been. We couldn't find a local restaurant, but in the Lord's goodness, we came across a food truck that sold brisket. This was the brisket nachos I had for lunch.

Sunday afternoon, I watched the Hallmark movie Dating the Delaneys and it was one of my favorites in a while. Sunday night, we went to see a production of To Kill A Mockingbird.
If you thrown in a lot of work and then a good dose of exhaustion, that has been life lately.
I keep thinking I'll get on a better blogging schedule, but it may be a few weeks with us still in the midst of preparing to move our youngest to college (her college is on the quarter schedule so that is why she is still home). I'm not complaining we get a few extra weeks with her!
Enjoy your day!
Linking up with Holly and Sarah
I've missed seeing you here! I love that you serve dinner to local hospitals...do you ever need volunteers for that? My boys did that at St. Jude once, through Chick Fil A and it made such an impact on them both. I was wondering about your daughter's schedule...that makes sense now. I can't wait to watch that movie! I'll probably watch while I eat lunch one day this week. I hope your Monday starts off your week well and that you're able to rest well and take a little time for yourself in the mix.
ReplyDeleteLove all of your work serving the community-very inspirational- that walk sounds amazing too!
ReplyDeleteOh yum! Those brisket nachos look amazing! All the best to your daughter as she gets ready for college. I'm sure you are enjoying every minute with her until she goes.
ReplyDeleteYour daughters are so lovely! Those brisket nachos look amazing! What a great weekend and I will be thinking of you. Transitions are hard.
ReplyDeleteSo nice to read your post - and "catch up" a bit! Life looks busy...but really enjoyable lately! Glad you snapped some photos in the process:)
