Catching my Breath.

I'm stopping in to catch my breath.
I have been running from one thing to the next.
When Craft Weekend (read about it here) was finished I ran home...

...to VBS, which started first thing Monday morning.
We finished up this morning. (I'm posting more about VBS next week!)
VBS is hard work...and I only lead the music.
With a dvd.
There are plenty of others who work MUCH harder than I do at their jobs.

We celebrated Bruce's Grandma as she turned 95 on Wednesday.

In my heart she's as much my Grandma as she is his.
I love this lady as much as I have loved my own grandparents.

We had angel food cake with strawberries.
Great Grandma's favorite.

Grandma's request for her birthday was that the family that was able to come, come for a picnic.
I love that she chose us to celebrate with.
No big party.
Just us. Together in the park. On a Wednesday.
Her real birthday.

Today is my Dad's birthday.
I am having fond memories of our time together last year when we celebrated at the beach. 

I wish we could be anywhere with you today, Dad.
But mostly right now I just wish we were at Britt's Donut Shop.
