Monday Musings
It’s been a busy week since returning from our house swap in Cotswolds, England.
We spent most of it back up at our cottage, so our daughters could attend On The Edge, the teen evening programme at New Horizon Christian conference in Coleraine.
I was able to attend on Friday evening – it was challenging and inspiring, and maybe next year we will manage to attend more of the conference!
Also during the week we met up with some friends for coffee/ice-cream in Portstewart
On another evening friends from England who were over on hcoliday met up with us for a trip to Barry’s. All 6 kids had a great – all (ages 15 to 7) went together on the Cyclone.
Tonight is the start of REFRESH, a kids club at our church this week – the primary school kids come for an hour of games, craft and story, then the older kids come for coffee bar, sport and dance.
We will end the Refresh week with a family BBQ.
Yesterday my father-in-law visited and brought his very cute dog Pippi with him.
There are now FOUR of us in our family who would love a dog, but my husband is remaining the sensible, practical one……for now! How could you resist such a cute dog?
She is a Miniature Schnauzer ….. and very adorable….and tolerant all the attention she was receiving!
What is happening in your world this week?
Please share in the comments below.
Hi JM! I keep meaning and meaning and MEANING to email you but goshness I am busy from a.m. to p.m. running running all the day. I plan to slow down here a bit in the coming weeks. I had some quiet time this evening so thought I’d like to come by and check out your blog. Long overdue!
Your spring is far advanced of ours and I so long for it to be here. Seeing your photos made me smell the fresh green grass and my eyes so welcomed the brilliant flowers.
Its hard to imagine Mother’s day just yet, but yours looks like it was wondeful. I love these efforts of children to put into sincere words what we mean to them. Words to treasure. Thanks so much for showing and sharing.
I’ll catch up more very very soon.
Love,
Barb
Lovely to hear from you ….. yes, spring has sprung here!!!
that is so nice that all ladies get flowers rather than just the mums. I love all your gifts especially the poem!
Yes – it is lovely to include all the ladies – for some without kids it must be a tough day.
LOVED my time here visiting! I feel like I left the states for a bit and headed across the ocean. I’ve got English blood and I’ve always been a tad jealous of the ladies who are called “mum.” Here in the southern U.S., it’s momma…and there’s just something so special about “mum” like my great grandma used to say 🙂
Happy Mum’s Day! What a visit! Loved it! lori
