Could it be that spring has finally arrived? Are those flowers, birds, and sunshine here to stay? And has it actually been a week without a tornado warning???

The last seven days passed quickly. Our children left and with them, the busyness of life with young children and young women with much on their minds to occupy their days.

On Monday we came home to discover that the roofers were working hard on installing the new roof. It looks great!

Tuesday found the window washer here polishing the outside of the many windows that get buffeted by the winds and rain.

Wednesday was house-cleaning day for both the ladies who clean our home and for me. I set about cleaning cages, doing laundry, washing rugs, and putting things away before they arrived. As soon as they left, I left to go run errands.

Thursday was unusual in that it was a work day for me. My sweet co-worker had been so kind to work the previous Wednesday for me so that I could spend the day with family. It was my turn to work for her. It was an exhausting day with upper carpool duty, 8 classes, after school tutoring, and a talent show. I was beat by the time I arrived at home.

Friday found me doing yoga, which I am loving more and more, delivering Meals on Wheels, and volunteering for four hours in the Relay for Life booth at our local trade days.

Yesterday we hosted our Sunday school class social by having a potluck here. It was so much fun to visit and share food with our friends.

Today when we returned home from church, men were once again on our roof. This time they were replacing our guttering, which was also damaged in the hail storm.

BC and I headed for the golf course today after a quick lunch. I am so excited! I finally broke 60!!! I shot 57. The most amazing thing is that I pared the first two holes. Golf can actually be fun! Who would have thought...

The week ahead looks as if it will be another one full of activity.

I am praying to God that I can continue to let my "light" shine and be a beacon. My "light" flickered more than once this week, as I dealt with issues at work. I pray for patience and understanding.

And I pray for God's blessings on all who might happen by this way to read.
