A Busy Good Friday
We decided to be at a local library when they opened on Friday – to apply for passports. We will need them when taking a chapel to a Canadian truck show this summer. We called on Thursday, and they expected 100-200 applicants on Friday!
We filled our forms out at home, and were the first to arrive – with several others right behind us when the door opened at 9 AM. Twenty minutes later we were finished and the line had grown considerably.
From the library, we went to Home Depot to get some light fixtures and a few other things for the painting and recarpeting we are doing in several rooms.
Cerwin spent the day painting, while I worked in the office. I have four newsletters waiting to be mailed – and must add 300-400 names to my database for a few of them as I am doing their layout and mailing for the first time.
We are enjoying revival meeting this week, and made plans to bring four granddaughters home from church on Friday night to celebrate Jenna and Jana’s birthdays.
Saturday
The girls were excited to be going to Chuck E. Cheese this morning.
Gloria and Jana
Cinnamon sticks are always an early morning favorite. I like to get there when the doors open at 9 AM, then we have the place to ourselves for thirty to sixty minutes.
Double cheese pizza is another must before we leave.

I did the layout and design on a newsletter while they played.
Watching for Chuck – from the ceiling tunnel
He brought Jana and Jenna a birthday ice cream sandwich.
Singing “Happy Birthday”
Gloria gave Chuck a hug
Walking backwards to the mall – don’t ask why!
Jana had some birthday money she wanted to use at Build-a-Bear.
This time she chose a monkey.
Finishing stitches
Getting an air bath
Giving her a name (Zoey) and birth certificate
The girls wanted to ride the escalator
Next we chose ice cream “Dippin’ Dots”
Then we needed a massage!
Two for one money!
This feels so good!
Back to the car
Jana dressed Zoey when we got home.
That’s the best-dressed monkey I’ve seen in a long time!

They went back to their parents after church tonight, so the house seems quiet again.
