TUESDAY

It was Melanie's birthday on Sunday.  She called me on mine.  I so wish her well but was distressed to hear she quit her job at Mystic Lake Casino.  I don't know if it was a good job or not but no income can be a recipe for disaster.  Got a card off to her today.  It was funny, I was reading out of my daily devotion book and today the prayers were for adopted kids.  I do pray for her.  She is now 43.

Well we had a great day for our first day of VBS. (Vacation Bible School). 32 little ones were there.  My class was 4-6th graders.  What we had was 4 4th graders and one 5th grader.  3 boys and 2 girls, Kaydance, Aubrey, Noah, Harris and Bradon.  Marcia is helping me.  We really have had it easy so far, they are really good kids but today I need to find out about their family life.  Yesterday we concentrated on "worry", sang songs, did art, science, brought pennies for Malaria.  I need to remember more pennies today.  I need to convince the Science teacher to have the kids set aside their pennies until after class, they play with their money way too much.  It seems hard for them to focus, I should talk, it is hard for me to focus during the Pastor's sermon sometimes.  My mind just seems to wander.
I had a fun talk with Dot yesterday.  Can't wait till she and Deanne come up for a week and then we pick up Dede and drop off Deanne.  I need to call Deanne and see how her eye surgery went.

I cleaned out and filled the two largest hummingbird feeders this morning and got eaten alive by pesky mosquitoes.  Dirty little bugs.  Who do they think they are anyway.  I have lots of hummingbirds.  More than a dozen at the feeders at one time.  What fun.

Audrey Tobiason invited me over for a bottle of New Age wine yesterday, we had white but they also have a blush.  I prefer the pink because of the color.  I am such a critic, to heck with the taste, give me a good color.  Just kidding.  I love the reds.  Anyway you serve it over ice with a wedge of lime.  Quite good that way.  I love anything with lime.

Home to dinner, we had chops on the grill and I had a salad. And wine, and wine.  Red this time.

I need to call Nancy Stefan to do the red wine on a stick tonight.  Will be fun.  I have the white done.

Will have to take a picture but I can't find my camera and don't know how to get iPad pictures to my blog.  Technology is not always my friend.  I will check with Jean today, she is a Whiz at it.
