Catch Up

Today I had a lot of catching up to do.  I had loads of laundry and a few other things that I needed to do.  Kimleighel reminded me that I said I would make cinnamon rolls too.  I was able to get it all done before noon.  I hadn't made cinnamon rolls for years and was pleased with how yummy they turned out.

Carla came over so that we could run to the farm store to get some bases for feeders.  We are going to use them for candy jars.  Robin came with Carla.  We went over to Kathy's first to check on her since she just had her knee replaced.  Carla and I had made her a cute gift basket about a week ago that we took to her.  I know it brightened her day and was appreciated.  She seemed to be doing okay and we didn't stay long since the therapist came in minutes after us.We had a good time hanging out for a few hours.

When Larry got home we took Kimleighel and Jared with us to help clean the church.  Matt and Kathy were already there and we went right to work.  The couple that was in charge never showed up and we found out later that they had forgot and was at a Rodeo.  So funny because I can totally relate to forgetting.  They forgot even though they had been reminding us about it. hahaha  It worked out in our favor though because they made us chocolate chip cookies later.

Food 4 Thought Friday ~ This week's questions: ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ 
   
Breakfast ~ What time you do usually arise in the morning, and what time do you hit the sack? Usually I don't make it to bed before 10:00 but that's when I like to be in bed by.  I will wake up without an alarm by 6:00 am and usually am up and going for the day between 6:30-7:00. 

Lunch ~  What makes you the most jealous of others? hmmmmm.....probably when I see the talent of others that I wasn't blessed with.  I also get jealous at times when I don't have as much money as I wish I did and I am with others who have plenty. (or appear to)  This is a funny jealousy though because I know some of my friends have made comments over the years of how I never have to worry about money.  That has never been true...I have always had to budget what I have and for the most part of perfectly content.
 
Dinner ~ Name one of your biggest regrets in life. I can't really think of any but one should probably be that I didn't further my education at least in College.  I feel like I have furthered my education by being a stay at home mom.  You learn so much from staying home and making everything happen and work out.


Midnight Snack ~ What is your favorite thing to snack on?  How often do you snack during the day? I LOVE Chocolate and usually have a little every day.....ok.....not every day just most days.  I also like jelly belly's because it's best to only eat one at a time to enjoy each flavor.  I snack 3 or 4 times throughout the day.....usually when I am not as busy. (I almost said "bored" but I am never bored)
 
Recipe of the Week ~ (instead of your recipe for life what is it just for the week?)  Try to be like Jesus...Follow Him!  Jesus and our Heavenly Father are always at the top of my thoughts.  It's really hard to make wrong choices when I am thinking of them.  Sometimes I have to pray a little harder to have the strength I need to over come a temptation and sometimes I have to pray right away after falling short so that I can repent immediately.  But the important thing is to TRY TO BE LIKE JESUS and FOLLOW HIM!

It's a Spring Thing

I love getting up and going bowling on Thursdays.  I love the friends I bowl with and all the ladies on our league.  It's a fun thing to do even when the bowling gods aren't with me.  My team brings gifts for any occasion.  Debbie brought us a note pad last week and Shirley brought us all a cute Conference Pack and some Easter Treats this week.  Carla and I went to the dollar store and bought some Spring Things....flower head bands and pinwheel flowers.  I like our team...they are all so kind and fun.  I'm glad I bumped into Debbie ten years ago at a wedding reception and that she needed a sub for a few months while one of her team mates re-cooped from a surgery.  I've been bowling ever since and having a great time.

I took Denise to lunch today for her birthday that was on Sunday.  We met at the Blue Lemon and had a yummy lunch and a great chat catching up.  I told Denise it's a good thing we have birthdays once a year since it's the only time we get together.  The years fly by though and so those times seem to come around quickly.  Having friends for a long time is such a gift.  Denise was my visiting teacher when Larry and I first moved to Roy around 1985 and we have been wonderful friends since!  Being friends for that long means sharing many happy times and some really hard times...it's nice having friends to share with.
