Where did I go? What did I do?

Happy Monday!  I hope the week is off to a good start for you.

We have been "on the road" for awhile.  Where did we go?  Well, I believe I have enough pictures to take me through a week of blog posts, so I'll get right to it!

Our "travel season" began with a trip to Emory and Henry College for Founders Day.  As some of you may know, Emory and Henry is my alma mater, and we return to campus several times during the year.

We - The Husband and I - have a little joke between us about "eating our way across campus."

Fruit - a healthy option.

Mini-quiche

Baked treats.

Table seating was provided.....

....as was a touch of snow outside!  (March 27)

Dessert at lunch.

So, it is easy to see that this was no exception!  Our need for food was well-served!:-)

We returned home after this event just so we could prepare ourselves to leave once more.:-)  More on that tomorrow!

Thank you for reading.  I really appreciate your comments.

Sunday, April 6, 2014 - Fifth Sunday of Lent

This wonderful hymn of Charles Wesley's has been referred to as the "United Methodist National Anthem."  As printed in the United Methodist Hymnal of 1989, it is the first hymn included.

                              "O for a thousand tongues to sing

                                      my great Redeemer's praise,

                                the glories of my God and King,

                                     the triumphs of his grace!"

                                                                      - Charles Wesley, 1739

The Mission Focus from the 2014 United Methodist Women Prayer Calendar for today is the Red Bird Missionary Conference in Beverly, Kentucky.

Have a blessed Sunday.

Will you be watching?

Happy Saturday to you!  Have you had a good week?  Are you looking forward to a good week-end?

I know there are college basketball fans among those of you who are reading.  Will you be watching those basketball games on TV this week-end?  Perhaps you may even be one of the fortunate ones who will be watching in person! 

Before the day is over, we will know the men's teams that will be playing for the NCAA men's championship on Monday evening.  Will it be Kentucky, Wisconsin, UConn, or Florida?  Who is your favorite?  Let us know!

Thank you for reading.  I really appreciate your comments. 

Something good for the Easter basket....

Happy Friday to you!  Have you had a good week?  Are you ready for a good week-end?

If you are shopping for something for someone's Easter basket, here is a suggestion.

One of my favorite author/illustrators!

Wonderful illustrations continue throughout the book.

Color continues!

This would be a wonderful book for a child's Easter basket.  Why, I even think I would like one myself!:-)  I seem to find something different everytime I look at Jan Brett's illustrations!

Spring must be here!

I think spring is finally here!  There are several signs all around us.

Bradford pears in the neighbor's yard.

One of our peach trees in full bloom!

Tulips are almost ready to bloom.

The temperature is cooperating, too, with some nice, warm days! 

There were some casualties of the cold weather, though.

The consecutive nights of below freezing temperatures last week "bit" this peach tree.

The rosemary will have to be replaced.

A picture.....

This is the day.....

Birthday season began for us on March 20, and today is the day to celebrate another one.

Just a few years ago.

I send happy birthday wishes to my sister!  I hope you have a wonderful day!  Your arrival made me a Big Sister!  No matter how many birthdays you have, I will always be three years older!:-)
