Our Weekend.....

We have had such a nice weekend. Saturday was a stay-at-home kind of day.

That's my favorite kind.

While we didn't laze around like this neighborhood cat, we did take breaks in our working to sit and sip tea and visit. I just love being married to Louis Dean. I heard an interview with Donald Trump from several years ago and he was saying how he'd always heard you have to 'work at marriage'.  He said he and Melania don't have to do that. They get along so well and it's easy to be married to one another. I understand what he means. It's easy for Louis Dean and me to be married to each other. We never fight or even raise our voices. I don't know if it's because we were older when we got married or what but I am so glad we're this way. We started out with a lot of laughter and romance and we intend to keep it. Louis Dean tells a funny story about an old couple who were at the doctor. The doctor asked the husband if he still had 'romantic inclinations.' The husband went out to the waiting room and asked his wife. "Honey, do we still have romantic inclinations?" Without skipping a beat she said, "I keep telling you - all we have is Blue Cross and Blue Shield!!"

I fixed a big bowl of Jello and it sure tastes good on a hot afternoon.

Louis Dean said it really hits the spot!

I have gone to church regularly all my life but I have never enjoyed any church like I do Fellowship.

Every Sunday morning I look forward to going!

The sermon today was on Having Fun.

Life doesn't have to be hard all the time. God wants us to have a good time.

The speaker this morning was Derric Bonnot and he started attending Fellowship when he was a teenager. He was already a part of the praise team when I started going and it has been so cool to watch him grow up. He's now married and a father of four and one of the pastors. I think it was 2003 when Amber was invited to Fellowship and pretty soon I was going there, too.

After church we went to Aldi's for groceries.

It was hopping!

We all had the same idea. Even though it was crowded, we were all in a good mood and laughed as we tried to squeeze past one another or reach for something.

The checkers there are super fast and you bag your own groceries at a long counter after you pay.

Louis Dean used to not like that store but he's changed his mind now.

He bought some kind of fancy 'frankfurters' and we had chili dogs for lunch.

See that tomato?

My gardening neighbor, Tamara, gave it to me yesterday.

I forgot what kind she said it was but it was seriously delicious!!

Doesn't turn red but, boy, does it taste good!

We ate lunch and then took a good long Sunday afternoon nap!

Then it was back to work on the drains for Louis Dean!

 I have been keeping my eye on Louis Dean and filling his tea glass.

He works a little while and then takes a break. Repeat and repeat!

This is my favorite place to sit and rest.

I have my tea beside me and can stretch my legs out and read.

I look out to the kitchen......

or into the dining room.

I think the living room is the prettiest room in the house!

In other news.....we are planning on going to the ranch on Friday.

Dean and Sherry got their truck stuck trying to get out yesterday.

They have had a lot of rain!

They finally made it but I thought this was such a cute picture.

It was in my Memories on Facebook!

I hope it dries out before we get there but we plan to go anyway!

And that's it for our weekend!
