We spent most of this week in NC
visiting the fathers (and other folks), so there’s lots of scenery &
people…
Sunday,
May 24th
Today
was Pentecost, wherein we all wear red and celebrate the gift of the Holy
Spirit. One of my favorite parts of the service is during the reading of the passage
in Acts (2:4) which talks about speaking in many languages – we have people
read that section in different languages (Mandarin, French, Italian, ESL…) - all at the same time. It’s
a nice babble.
I
finally finished this crochet scarf/shawl. I was laughing at my inability to
get a good picture of the whole thing while I was wearing it. Finally, I see
the advantage of a selfie stick! I did enlist Dr. M’s aid to get a picture of
the back.
The
moon & company…

We drove down to NC today. I
laughed at myself because I happened to look in the mirror & saw that once
again I was wearing two pairs of glasses at the same time.

My daily walk – a ramble around
my dad’s yard.
Dr. M caught these dog food
thieves in the act!
Wednesday,
May 27th
I spent some time crocheting and
watching my dad work in the yard.
And I rambled around the yard again.
Meanwhile, Dr. M went to see his
dad & found some sheep (of course!).
While he was at his dad’s house
he watched a bluebird couple feeding their babies.
Scenes from his day.
I went with Dr. M & his dad to
walk along the river. If you’d like to see the things that we saw, check out
Dr. M’s blog here.
I love this picture that Dr. M took
of a lily in his father’s yard – for some reason this seems like a very Easter picture.
That evening there was finally some
serious rain at my dad’s house – May had been very dry down there.
Friday,
May 29th
On Friday we met a friend from
our days at seminary – it was so good to spend some time with her! Then that
evening we went out to eat with Daddy & Amy.
When we got back we played corn
hole for a while.
Saturday,
May 30th
We drove
home today. On the way we stopped to see Karen, a blog friend (who is now a
friend in “real” life). We had such a good time! We’ll definitely do that again
when we’re driving through her neck of the woods.
Safely
home, we were greeted by the moon…
Hope everyone has a great week!
A wonderful visit to Carolina once again. You all look so happy with your family and friends. Thank you for sharing your trip home, Dana and Michael.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great trip! Cool that you got to meet up with a blog pal. I laughed at how Dr. M found sheep on his trip to see his dad -- he IS a sheep magnet.
ReplyDeleteTrue that, Steve! True that...
DeleteNorth Carolina sure is pretty country! Looks like a very fun, relaxing week.
ReplyDeleteSounds like another great week. So glad the rain came. We got a lot of it as well.
ReplyDeletelooks like a good time was had. now that I have to wear glasses to drive I'm glad that my sunglasses fit over my seeing glasses.
ReplyDeleteI am the queen of 2 pairs of glasses at once :)
ReplyDeleteWhen I actually worked for a living, my glasses were almost always perched on top of my head. Makes me wonder why I even wore them.
ReplyDeleteFor some reason, Wednesday's picture of the dirt road winding itself through the field up to those trees really really appeals to me. You should print and frame and hang it!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it the most fun to meet blogging friends? I've met two so far - and I have no idea why I was a bit afraid before the actual meeting of awkward lulls in the conversation and the possibility that we might not "click." Ha!
We've met Karen once before, and we definitely clicked! She is fabulous. This time she welcomed us to her beautiful mountain home in WV. She is such a lovely person! We met her hubby, too....bonus points! Nothing to fear, for sure!
DeleteI agree with Pixel, the picture of the dirt road going into the trees was awesome!
ReplyDeleteQuite a stormy-looking shawl.
ReplyDeleteAmy looks to be in tip-top game form. Hope there was no wagering.
great shots again - particularly the road through the field, the rain shot and, of course, the cat

ReplyDeletelooks like a lovely visit - I like the blue colour in your shawl too. Fab moon. I must compare it to mine soon.
