A Significant Loss

Recently, our assistant pastor turned in his resignation.  This is a huge loss to our church.  We don't fault him at all, he is following the call of God to another church in another state.  

The Hubs and I are going to miss our assistant pastor and his wife.  They have become friends.  We've labored alongside them in the ministry and truly respect them.

Although we will miss them, and we envy their new church family.  We wish them well.  And we will be praying for them and their new ministry.

Have a great day!
Ms. T

Helen Keller Museum

Firecracker had learned about Helen Keller at school.  Some how he found out that her birth place was only a little ways away from my Father in law's house.  He made us promise that the next time we went up there we would try and go.  Well, we weren't planning on going up until November for thanksgiving like we do every year.  However, we made an unexpected trip up when we evacuated for Irma.  So we ended up going to the museum. It was really neat!  
They had all kinds of things that I never even thought about a blind person using.  Like a scrabble board that has a raised waffle pattern so the pieces stay in place. And playing cards that had braille on them.

Apparently, Helen had a genius I.Q. she graduated from the sister college to Harvard and she studied in Italian, Greek, French and English!  It was a really enlightening trip.  Even the kids liked it, and of course it's always cool to put learning into action.

This picture wasn't one I intended on taking, but the lady that worked at the museum was insistent that I take the kid's picture in the dining room.  It was easier just to humor her than to fight it.

   
Have a great day!

Butter Smoothness

 The Hubs has a thing about butter.  He can't stand it when the tub of butter isn't smooth.  For the last 10 years I have done my best to comply with this because I know how easy it is for pet peeves to drive you crazy.  I try to keep it looking something like this:

  However, now we have children, and they are proud of themselves for doing things on their own.  Therefore, the butter often ends up looking like this:

The poor Hubs is destined to be annoyed with the butter tub until the kids move out.

Have a great day!

Girl's Night

A few weeks ago, the Hubs took Firecracker to the race track.  Since they were doing a boy's thing Sweet pea and I did a girl's thing.  We got all dressed up and I let her choose what restaurant we ended up at.  She chose Cracker Barrel.  So the two of us went to Cracker Barrel in our dress clothes.  We played checkers, and I spy while we waited for our food.  We had a good time.

Have a great day!
Mrs. T
