Nature Studies

Another weekend has come and gone.  Such a nice Sabbath day we had!  Since we were having a husband/wife singing group come in the afternoon we had our monthly 4th Sabbath potluck meal on the 5th Sabbath instead.  They did a nice job and blessed us with their music.


After church we had our friends, the L family, come over to visit and have a light supper with us.  Whitney and Brandon were here as well.  It was a good time of fellowship and laughter. 


On Sunday we went to Fargo (again!!) for a young couple's wedding reception.  They had a "destination" wedding in Dominic Republic a few weeks ago.  The pictures from their wedding looked like something out of a dream...very nice.


Daniel had been mentioning that his shoes were hurting his feet.  After the reception we went shoe shopping.  We found a couple pair with Velcro that were comfortable for him.  Why Velcro when he does know how to tie his shoes?  Because...he isn't taking the time to properly put on his shoes and tie them.  Instead he is bending down the backs and running outside like that.  I'm hoping since the Velcro will speed up the process he won't feel the need to do this with the new shoes.


The stores were only open until 6:00 so I didn't make it to Sam's in time to get more of their delicious peaches.  I still have two left so that leaves me with one for breakfast today and one for tomorrow.  I will be okay but I did want to get some for Brandon as he loves peaches as much as I do.


Yesterday morning I woke to see Brandon sleeping on the couch.  I didn't hear him come in Saturday night but was happy he was here.  He got up early and went to work for the day for my uncle and my cousin's husband at a farm near here.  I'm glad he is willing to earn extra money that way.  He ate breakfast with me.  We both had a peach and an English muffin.


This morning while I was reading Kris blog I noticed a familiar blog on her list.  Then I remembered that I used to read it before my computer crashed.  I had the address saved on my favorites list but all that was gone after the crash.  So I made sure to add it to my blog list this morning.  Barb keeps an online nature journal of their nature studies.  Since we are supposed to do a nature walk each week in our school this helps me get ideas.  We have participated in a few of the nature challenges.  I'm so glad to find her blog again.


I have plenty lined up that I want to accomplish today so I had best get busy doing some of it.
