All Dried up

Well, we have had a wonderful full week of no rain. The yard is dried up in all areas and the basement is half put back together. We went and bought the cheap carpet with padding attached and Jerry and I laid it in the bigger family room area. We are NOT carpet people and it is not "well done" but it is "done". From a distance it look fine. We have another piece to put in the L shaped area but have not gotten to it yet. The old carpet stunk sooooo bad we had to get rid of it.

This week is VBS at our church. The theme is Galilee-by-the-Sea. The gym is set up with tent areas fro the "shop keepers" and we all dress in robe type clothing. There are dramas through out the day and it is supposed to be like living in Galilee in Jesus' time. There are 12 groups of kids named after the 12 tribes. They tour around each day learning how to make sandals, bread, carving stone, fishing, ect... They also go to synagogue and hear the Rabbi teach each day. They play games at the sea side playground and have a snack of bread (my job) every day with a different toping. My friend Leeann and I have been baking about 162 yeast rolls every morning. We get up and let them rise at home then bring them in and bake them at the church. It has been so much fun! This is the best VBS program we have ever done. The kids LOVE it. I'm am glad tomorrow is Friday though as I am TIRED!

Jerry is home now (as of Tuesday)from work. He gave House Hold a months notice last Monday. They didn't say anything all last week and then this Monday his boss showed up and said they would pay a few weeks pay and to get his things and leave. No "thank-you for 12 1/2 years of service" or anything. So we are on to the next new chapter in our lives. Trusting God to provide as we know He will. He is studying for all the insurance tests and should start taking a few of them in a couple weeks.

Tomorrow I am off to Chicago for the weekend with my good friend Cristi. She is moving to China in 2 weeks and I am gona miss her so very much! We are getting in our last hurrah before she leaves. Can't wait!
