Thursday, Onward and Upward

Thursday
We left my Grandparents house at about 8:00 am and after stopping at a peanut place to get Virginia peanuts and MacDonald’s to get some breakfast for me and coffee for them we arrived in Raleigh Durham. We went to Paneras and then wandered around Target till it was time to go to the airport. Grandma escorted me to the gate, and then I was on my own. The flight was long and there was some really great turbulence near the end. In Las Vegas, I had to take the shuttle to gate C5. I wandered around and used up about 2 hours of my 4 hour layover. The plane was also delayed about half an hour making my wait yet longer. I read Lieutenant Hornblower and did some Sudoku puzzles. The flight Spokane was only about 2 hours and I sat next to a really nice couple. I got home at about midnight and didn’t go to bed till about 1:30. I was a long day.

Friday
I saw Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Man’s Chest with Cristina, Katie, and Grace. It was ok. Entertaining and fun but it not as good as the first (surprise surprise). I am glad I saw it in the theater.

Saturday
We had a Hard Shoe class. It was so fun!! Dancing is one of the best things in the world. I missed it while I was gone and it is wonderful to be back at it!! Irish Dancers Rock.

Sunday
One never knows how much one enjoys something unless one is deprived of it for a time. Church was wonderful. Familiar faces smiling, the choir singing, and above all, worshiping God with the congregation. We have such a blessing being able to attend such a wonderful church. Even more than before I am grieved for the people who do not know Christ and live without what we often take for granted. As I watched a massive thunder storm approaching in Virginia I began to silently sing “He plants his footsteps in the sea, and rides upon the storm” for the first time, I think, I really felt and knew that He does rid upon the storm.

Monday
Driver training here I come!!!! 7:00 bright and early. It was great. I then cleaned for 3½ hours and made $35. My day has been great.


Pictures will follow soon!!

Sudoku puzzles are rather addicting, aren't they?

Glad you had a nice finish to your trip.

I'm so glad that you are home!!! I heard that Sudoku is only for the really brilliant math people who have a lot of patience.

Not me!!!

See you tomorrow!!!

I like that hymn and I remember having a similar revelation. Loud booming thunder over our home, hearing the heavens crack and snap an instant before I saw the lighting. He does ride His storms. Glad that you are home safe and sound.
See you tomorrow night?

"Let us read and let us dance -- two amusements that will never do any harm to the world." -- Voltaire
