Yesterday Boo & I made a day trip to Atlanta to attend the funeral services for our Aunt Sadie.  The only picture I took the entire day was this one of Momma D & Pop’s headstone at the cemetery – Aunt Sadie was buried right next to them.  It was a sad, joyous, beautiful day.

It’s that season again – time for playing tag through the tombstones

At BIG this week at church, it was the first Wednesday of the month, which meant that it was Pray and Play time. We took the children up to the sanctuary at the beginning of our meeting, where the preachers and Mr. Dennis laid hands on them and prayed for them, and then headed outside to spend most of the rest of the evening playing on the playground – and giving them a chance to run out some of that pent up energy they had from being stuck inside during two months of rain. We have a couple of high school girls that help us out every week, and the kids, needless to say, absolutely LOVE them :-). Here they are tackling Jessica…

Yesterday Mallory had a student council meeting after school, so while we were waiting for her to finish up with that, Clara, Kimbrell, & I went across the street to the Bethany ARP church to hang out & kill time. The girls had fun together

We just spent the afternoon at the Dovers’ house, since we were later than usual getting everyone picked up. I took the ingredients & we made custard pies between doing homework & playing outside. It was a good afternoon.

Thursday I was on our regular schedule – spent the morning with Momma, then took Clara to dance and Mallory to guitar lessons.  I stayed with Mal, though – usually her dad meets us there & he brings her home, but Clara had a makeup soccer game that night, & of course her dad is her coach.  So Mal & I headed to the soccer field as soon as her lesson was over, & we found Clara playing goalie in a camouflage shirt! 

Then after the game I headed to the auditorium to meet Evelyn for one of the programs we have season tickets for – A Band Called Honalee, which was sort of a Peter, Paul, & Mary tribute band.  They were very, very good, and the music was one hundred percent up my alley.  I could sing pretty much every word to every song – but I know Evelyn was thankful I kept myself under control.  Lindee also went with Carin, Charlotte’s daughter who’s in town spending time with her grandmother while Charlotte & Bob are out of town.  They really seem to have a good time together.  Here they are as we were getting to our seats for the program.  Good times.

Good times after school yesterday…

When Mallory and Clara got here after school on Tuesday, we made apple smiles :-). They were a hit, just like they’d been with June and Mason when we made them earlier.
