Going Stir Crazy 2

I guesss it would help if i added a few words with the title...I know that I have had two weeks of vacation already this summer and I know that I will be getting to go with Tim to a seminar in LA in the end of July and to one in Tampa the first weekend in August but still here I have sat for the last hour almost looking up air fare/hotel deals for July 4 and the rest of the week...I am really getting spoiled and I want to go somewhere exciting! TO PLAY!!!!! NOT to a seminar! I'm ready for Spain or Greece or Japan or Finland or Sweeden or Denmark or someplace I've never been before! Who wants to go with me and when can we go?!?

Going Stir Crazy!

Home Group

We had a great home group meeting tonight! We sang all night and it was awesome. We had two visitors with us - Gabriel from Ghana and Jeff from Searcy. Gabriel was overwhelmed with the singing. They sing beautifully in Ghana with all their hearts but most of it is in unison no harmony. He went to anaother congregation this morning with some other friends and after home group tonight, he wanted to know if the singing at Sycamore View was better or worse than home group. When we told him it was better, he could hardly believe it. We are planing a trip back to Ghana in August 2008 so keep that in your thoughts and prayer that God will lead and direct us in planning and putting this trip together.

Jeff is here from Searcy. He's taking Don Meredith's class at the grad school this week in a short course. He needs prayers, too! He will do well I'm sure. This is Jeff's third time to be with us so he's family now.

I'm ready for another trip....i know I've only been back to work for a week...I got spoiled to being off...

More Beach Photos

Beckie with her scarf. Jessica brought scarfs that Vivian had given her girls last year to play on the beach...we had fun with them, too!
I really do have clothes on behind the towel! This is just one of the "Calendar Girls" photos that we have been saying we were going to do ever since we saw the movie. Mary Lou and Sally say they are going to print them on a calendar to raise money for the Sunshine School. I kind of doubt that they will make much money...we don't quite have the bodies or expose as much as the firemen so on their calendars.
I loved the look on Sally's face when she told "loopey" - that's always the first person out at 31 who has to serve goodies to all the rest - that she wanted a LOT of ice cream...She got about a tablepoon full. Sally and I might tie when it comes to ice cream being our favorite food.
Jessica decided to make a nose ring out of her glow lights. It was pretty funny!
My favorite pastime at the beach - relaxing and reading a good book! This was the first year in many years that I have been there that I didn't have to spend the morning studying for some upcoming class. I read alsmost a book a day...novels, mindless, fun reading!

We had a great time at Guf Shores! We had Beckie, Linda, Mary Lou, Sally, Bonnie, and Jessica from Searcy; Julie from Atlanta; Wesley from Nashville; Mary from New York; Vivan (part of the time) from Mobile and me from Bartlett. Quite an assortment with lots and lots of fun! Not many places had crab claws but we enjoyed lots of other seafood and key lime pie, read lots of books, took lots of naps, and played lots of games! It was great fun!
