Good Morning to everyone!
It a little after 9, and here I sit with my coffee, trying to wake up enough to function. hehehehe I haven't been up for long. Hopefully, after another cup or two of coffee, I won't be so fuzzy! lol
It's going to be a beautiful day in Missouri. I'm glad I have the day off, so that I will be able to enjoy it. Moriah and I are thinking of going out to Landon's later today, and maybe do some swimming.
Well, we had a fabulous weekend! I sure didn't mean to run off without saying bye to everyone. We left Saturday afternoon for the lake. I tried 3 different times to post, letting everyone know that we were headed out of town for the weekend, but alas, my puter was not going to cooperate. All three times, the sucker froze on me, loosing my message. We finally had to leave, and I couldn't wait around any longer, to try sending another. So, I appologize to you all for just dropping off the "face of the puter"...hehehehe
We went down Saturday, to spend the afternoon, and evening with Lee's cousin Mike, his wife Paula, and their daughter Kelsey...who is just about 2 yrs. older than Moriah. We got there around 3, and had a wonderful visit with everyone. We had not seen them since Christmas. Mike is also the pastor of the church that we attend/attended, when we use to live at the lake. The church is called the "Rock House", and sure isn't your "typical" church. Their main ministry focuses on youth, and those who would probably not be accepted (even though they should be) by most churches as we know them. It is nothing to see several with spiked hair, tatoos, or piercings. They have great programs for those who are suffering with addictions, be it drugs, or alcohol. There are always several in attendance who are released from the local detention center, to attend church on Sunday morning. Those who are normally detained all the time, due to some type of trouble, are allowed out on Sunday morning, IF they will go to church. There have literally been 100's of people whose lives have been touch by this ministry. Saturday evening, we went to the Rock House, where they were having a vollyball game. We had a great time, and it was lots of fun watching some of the "older" ones try to play, and keep up with the youth...lol! We got up Sunday, and attended church, which was a BLESSING, as always! We sooooo miss not being able to attend on a regular basis as we once did when we lived there.
After church, we drove to Lebanon...about 25 miles, and spent the afternoon with my Dad and Mom, for Father's Day. We went out to lunch when we arrived, and then spent the rest of the afternoon visiting. We had a fabulous time, and it meant alot to my Dad, that we were able to come visit on "his" day. I know it was a special time for Lee...being a father, and being able to spend time with my Dad. Lee lost his step father about 4 yrs ago, and his father last year, so for him, my Dad is all he has left, and he completely enjoyed being able to spend the day with him.
We arrived back in Ashland, not far from Columbia, at Landon's house, a little after 8, where we were to spend the evening with Landon, and Kirk. Kirk ended up having some car overheating problems, and wasn't able to make it, but we did spend time with Landon, having supper, and watching some movies. All in all, it was just a wonderful weekend!!!!
So...today, I'll go pick up my check around 1, pay some bills, and then I think Moriah and I will head to Landon's and try to get some swimming in. It should be a beautiful day for that! If I'm gonna head out there this afternoon, I'm going to have to do something to this house before we leave. It is a little on the disasterous side, after being gone all weekend...unfortunately, it got left that way when we ran out of here on Saturday. Hopefully, I can get that done, and it won't take me too long.
Well, guess that's about it with the "catch up". I hope that all of you had a great weekend, and for those of you who celebrated Father's Day, I hope it was wonderful for you as well, whether it was spending time with your Father, or reflecting on wonderful memories of a Father that is no longer with you. Hope you all enjoy this beautiful day! Tomorrow, for a lot of us, we will usher in the first day of SUMMER!!!! YIPPPEEEE....Summer will FINALLY be here !!! Offically, that is!
Love to you all,
Lev
