Last Sunday afternoon found me in my 

Happy Place!

Mom blessed Warren and I with tickets to see 

The Gaither Vocal Band

in concert.

 

 We always get a chuckle out of the fact that we are 

the youngest fans when we go to any of these

events.  But other than the fact that I worry about their fan 

base over the next 10 years I don't mind being younger 

than everyone around me.

This was my first time to see this group in person.

Of course, we've watched the Gaither Homecoming Videos

many times and we saw Mark Lowry a couple of years

ago when he visited Lancaster.

 

Bill Gaither must be pretty persuasive to gather this 

kind of talent into a group.

Every one of these men could be out on their own.

They have the talent and following to be solo artists.

It is totally special that they work together and offer

up such praise blended with humor.

I mean that you actually have to laugh out loud

or you will hurt yourself.

 

Mark Lowry gave an outstanding message.

I won't try to tell you what he said because 

I would butcher

it for sure.

 

David Phelps....

ahhhhhh.......................that voice.

 

So.much.power!

 

Thanks, Mom!

We enjoyed it soooo much!!

It has been a very busy week.

This weekend won't be any better for all of that 

but it will be good. 

Kicked off a fundraiser for a church group

headed to Haiti to do mission work yesterday with a new 

group and have a couple coming today to discuss 

a fundraiser for their upcoming mission trip

to Africa.

Yesterday I spent a good part of the day with five 

very wonderful children.

Their Mom is going through a very hard time

right now as her Dad has terminal cancer.

 

The kids and I laughed and laughed as I just 

about stepped on a snake.

The oldest boy said in a very serious voice, 

"I just had to chuckle."

I think he thought I might be upset if he laughed 

at me...but instead we just laughed together.

I'm sure it did look and sound funny to see me 

jump and scream.

It was just a garter snake and very easily 

identifiable so I was never afraid, 

just startled.

I enjoyed seeing their new fluffy yellow chicks.

You know how we used to enjoy getting ours

each Spring.  But now we just let our chickens 

reproduce naturally since we don't need lots and lots

of chickens.

The kids were too smart to fall for my suggestion that 

picking all of the dandelions in the field would be a great

activity and challenge.

Hmmph.

I was sure that they would want to do that one!

LOL

Anyway....

It's been a while since I've spent 

quality time with the younger set 

and it was good!

We ended the day by prepping English Muffin

Pizzas to be ready for dinner when their Dad got home.

Molly was a big help.

She put the sauce on the muffins and then added 

pepperoni, green peppers, cheese and cooked onions.

Yummy.

Well, in theory they were yummy.

I bugged out of there to get home and cook 

quesadillas for my own gang.

Hope you are well.

Hugs.
