Saturday I went to Geneva, IL and spent the afternoon with Kathy! My how her daughters have grown! Myla and Macy were positively adorable.
Kathy and I meandered down Third Street where we...
1. ate chicken salad MINI sandwiches...the waitress explained, "You know...back in the day when they would have mini sandwiches with tea..." :)
2. had a very awkward conversation with an elderly woman that we are hoping worked there.
3. ate delightful chocolates while Kathy enjoyed some ice cream.
4. BOWLED OVER..."You get it?"
5. (This is one is not technically "we"...it's Angie...) turned the wrong direction onto Randall Road...but found out that taking 88 West to 39/90 North is actually the SAME amount of time and distance but fewer tolls!
What a fun Saturday afternoon!
Since I got back to Rockford in plenty of time...and I was feeling kind of guilty about the SHUGGA-HEADACHE I caused myself...I went to the gym for an hour. The place was practically empty which was nice.
After all that silliness for one day...I went home and enjoyed my fabulous little cottage and the last half of Pride & Prejudice.
Today at church, one of my Sunday School kids got baptized. It's been amazing to see God work in the hearts of "my" children. I just love them! They are delightful and very inquisitive. Today one of the asked, "Why did Jesus get baptized in the Jordan River? Wasn't it dirty?" Miss Lauren and I waxed eloquently on the fact that perhaps since Namaan dipped in the very same river all those years ago that maybe Jesus was using that to demonstrate that He could use a "dirty" river too for His baptism. Pastor came into our classroom (technically he was there all along sitting in the backroom to determine the noise level)...he said that there wasn't any significance.
After Sunday school and church, I went gallivanting about Rockford in search of the perfect gift for tomorrow evening's big reveal. :) I have loved having this secret pal and praying for her family.
Later this afternoon, Sara came to the cottage and we enjoyed pumpkin spice lattes and a nice visit. Short, but always-ALWAYS sooo refreshing. I am blessed with some of the most fabulous friendships! And everyday I do thank God for each of you!!!
This evening at church, even though it was geared to Grandparents and Parents, I was encouraged about leaving a legacy of faithfulness to those younger believers. Thank you, Pastor B for allowing God to speak through you!
After church, I had to make my way to Woodman's otherwise I wouldn't have had anything for lunch tomorrow...and buying lunch out just pains me. I know it shouldn't...and I know that people do it all the time. But I can buy a weeks worth of groceries and save sooo much money even though I am somewhat of a fussy eater. OK--SAYING "I AM SOMEWHAT OF A FUSSY EATER" is like saying my hair is slightly curly. Ha. ha. ha. I'm fussy. I have things I am avoiding. And now thanks to my co-worker who is taking this whole thing to an extreme level...I've now added trying to stick to foods that are beneficial to my bloodtype...which guess what? DARK CHOCOLATE AND COFFEE are both beneficial. I feel as though I should write to the doctor that authored the book, Eat Right for Your Bloodtype, and send him a nice "Thank You" note for including my two favorites...dark chocolate and coffee. God bless you! Okay---where was I? Oh yes -- so I now have this excel spreadsheet which lists the foods that I can have...and I am doing my best to stick to it. It's not soo easy...just skipping dairy and sugar was alot easier. (I never thought the day would come when I would say that outloud...do I have a fever? Am I ill? ...probably just not right!)
What a great weekend!
~ Fun Angie
