Don't you just love LoooooooooooooooooooNG weekends? Man 'O Man! I know that Taylor and I sure do...
What did you do? How did you celebrate?
On Friday, Taylor and I went to the Ellison High School Faculty / Seniors basketball game at 3 p.m. Then we walked over to the football field and watched the EHS Screamin' Eagles' Spring Football Game. We stayed for 3 quarters and then ventured out to a friends house for some great cooking by my father in law. He is a really great cook! We ended up watching The Forgotten later that night. I am not sure where this movie came from, but it was definitely in our movie collection. Hmmmmm... It was pretty scary. What is the deal with Aliens? Do they exist or not? Insane! My vote says no.
Saturday was a great day. Taylor planted some Wavy Petunias (pink ones and white ones) in two hanging baskets which decorate our front patio and look So Great! Adding a woman to a homestead sure does LIVEN up the home decor! Color... Who knew what a difference color could make? And I planted a Cardinal Red Oleander on the side of our house to cover the a/c unit from being seen from the street. No longer will it be an eye sore... Those Oleanders sure are beautiful! And now I got the itch to plant more and more...
Taylor, her mom and I went and saw Indiana Jones on Saturday. We HAD to see it ... because we are Americans ... or at least Texans. I don't need to see it again. I was really disappointed. WAaAaAaAaY far fetched. Aliens? Again. UGH! Indy and the Aliens? Come on George Lucas! Surely one can do better than that! Save your money. That's my vote anyhow. Wait until it comes out in Redbox. Save the money. Buy a pizza and enjoy it at home.
We went to church Sunday. Early service and then we served in the nursery. Toddlers. 1 - 2 year olds! We used to be in the 2 -3 year olds which I really liked. Did you hear me say Toddlers? That's right! I thought that it would be more of a temptation for Taylor to have kids ofour own quicker, but it turns out this could be an additional birth control for the Russell Family! Monsters, I tell you! Nah, they aren't that bad... I can't imagine having one though.
We napped after church which is always a Sunday 'staple.' We love to nap. I have gotten into the Chronicles of Narnia books series. I read two this past week and am not on the third. Such great reads. Short. Entertaining. Great imagination! Stimulating. We had dinner at the in laws. Burgers. You have to cook out over Memorial Day, right? Thank you to all that serve or have served! Taylor and I are grateful! Especially of those who have lost their lives.
Monday, we slept in. More napping. More yard time. I don't even remember what we did. Oh yeah, we went to Salado and bought some decorative items for the house. Taylor is really great at decorating not only the outside, but the inside as well. Then we went to the River. Lampasas River. It was really fun. We went with the in laws. They took their Yellow Lab - Jackson. This dog is beautiful. Great Hunting Dog. He sure loves the water. We all got in the water. Very relaxing. I love the simple life. Country. Rivers. Dogs.
And so here it is Tuesday. Another day. Another dollar. Two more kids signed up for camp yesterday! OH YEAH!
I got this YouTube video in my email this morning. If you have 8 minutes and 4 seconds, you should watch it. It's STRONG! It's POWERFUL!

God is in the business of changing lives! OUR lives! Are we letting Him?
