What a Week It's Been So Far!

To start with, coming home from grocery shopping on Monday, I was about 6 miles from home when smoke started coming out of the steering column of the car. Yikes! So I called Dale to come and get us. The car was towed in and is now repaired. We can pick it up tomorrow. When I asked Dale what the repair cost was, he answered, "Somewhere between Ouch and Boing!" Happy thought, indeed.

Tuesday morning, I headed downstate to attend the Ladies Tea at Betsy's church. When I arrived at her house, two eager little faces were watching at the window for Grandma!

One of the things Betsy was signed up to take to the Tea was cupcakes. We had fun working on them together. Here's one tray; aren't they pretty? They were a big hit.

This morning, after we did a bit of shopping, I headed over to visit my parents for a few hours before I came home. Dale and I decided we should give my dad his flag now, even though his birthday isn't for 6 more months. Here he is with the certificate:

Here he is with his flag, wearing his Vet Chaplain hat:

And here he is with his Korea Veteran cap:

He has a flag pole in his garage that someone is going to install next week. I think he's eager to get this flag up and flying!

By the time I arrived home, my sinuses were feeling pretty crummy, so I took some meds, got ready for bed and drank some tea instead of going to prayer meeting.

Tomorrow starts big-time catch-up after being gone for two days, but it was worth it. I really enjoyed it.
