Weekend Update

The weekend started off as usual on Friday--but on Saturday, we had a wedding of some friends at church. It was a fun evening, and nice to just relax for an evening. It was on a members property, so beautiful....and the weather was perfect...rain had been in the forecast, but it was so nice!! No hot temps like we had been having, and no rain! YAHOO!
The groom came down the aisle (it was an outdoor wedding) on a Harley, along with his Pastor. The Bride rode in princess style in an old convertible. There is some divine intervention here though...
The Bride was to ride in an old classic of the man who owned the property. MINUTES before the wedding, a radiator hose broke....tragedy...but lo & behold....God provided not the car Aubree wanted to take her to the "church", but the car God felt was more fitting...a classic convertible. She looked like a princess...and her Dad lost his composure when he realized that this was the perfect car....and totally a fluke that Dan drove it that day to the wedding!! God is so good!

On Sunday...we had a real treat. Brett Williams, an awesome Christian singer/artist came to our church to not only sing, but teach as well. It was an incredible service....but the bonus was, we were to have an evening service , a bbq and a concert by Brett.
After our usual Sunday nap..and a trip to a friends (we loaned them our trailer for a 'hotel' as they had out of town guests coming), we headed to the church property for a BBQ and a great concert by Brett Willams. THere was a special treat with the Pastor from Cottage Grove Calvary Chapel joining us, and singing as well. He plays so well, and did a Dillon tune....it was so cool. The two sounded great together. Afterward, it was just Brett. It was so much fun, and very emotional--his songs just hit the heart!! It didn't hurt that I was sitting next to Pastor Tom...and a few hit him too. Bill wasn't sure who to give his clean hankerchief to!!



Monday Bill headed to the parsonage, and I headed to Brownsville to meet with fellow homeschoolers regarding back to school stuff!! It is tough to think our summer is almost over.

Tuesday we were back at the parsonage....we finished the wood floors, they look SO good!! The drywall patching is done, and Bill is working on getting the wiring up to code...so it is safe. It has been an adventure!! We should wrap up there this week, and then have some rentals of Alice's to paint, and then we can start on the 1950 renovation! That should be FUN!

Stay tuned.....more to come soon, I'm sure. There is never a dull moment around here!!
PS> Kitten update...they have left the bathroom finally!!! They are adventureous enough to roam the house now. They will walk gingerly past the dogs, and as long as the dogs don't move, they don't hiss!! They have finally accepted O'Malley as one of their species, and allow him to come near their food dish now! Will get more pictures soon! I did post pictures of them on the side bar in our "family pet" section!
