Not as we Planned

 Our week has been out of whack!  A couple of weeks ago,  I ran fever for three days and felt horrible.  I woke up Saturday morning, swollen, painful joints and a rash.  I had Fifth disease.  Emily had come down with the rash a week before.  It always hits adults harder.  I have had really bad joint pain all week.  Today I am much better!  I got a call from Emily's school on Tuesday morning saying she was running fever and had a sore throat.  I took her to the Dr and she tested negative for strep.  She has been running fever all week.  I do think she is much better today!  I had lots of things to do this week....mostly fun things but we have been parked at home.  Which I am okay with.  I guess the Lord has wanted us home.  Makes me think of Amy Grant's old song. "Angels Watching Over me."  There is a line that says, "a wreckless car ran out of gas before it ran my way."  God could have been protecting us from something.  So I am refraining from complaining.
 Last night was the last AWANA at church.  They had an awards assembly.  Emily had to miss it, but Steve took Sarah Kate.  We are so glad for this program and all the Bible verses they have learned.  They have LOVED it!
Last Friday I bought these Easter flowers.  We are still enjoying them.

Praying everyone feels better. My daughter (now 32) had Fifth's when she was in kindergarten 27 years ago. Problem was no one here could diagnose her. We visited Pittsburgh a few weeks later, I described her illness and my friend said matter-of-factly...she had Fifth's!

Something Good to Eat

Ever since Steve and I started dating, when we would go to Mississippi, his aunt would make the BEST ROAST IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!! Steve's Dad's side of the family gets together at his Granny's house for lunch every Sunday after church. The food is always sooo good!!!!!!!!!!!! I have always taken a liking to his Aunt Judy's roast. It really is the best roast I have ever had. When we were there on Labor Day weekend, my sister in law asked Aunt Judy for the recipe. Aunt Judy began naming all the ingredients. She said Ranch Dressing mix, and I bugged my eyes out and nearly chocked. I HATE RANCH DRESSING. I don't even like to be in the room with it. I had to focus on the word MIX....not the mayo and butter milk and sour cream that you add to it. Just typing those words makes me shudder. The recipe sounded awful as she rattled off the ingredients, but I promise, you have got to make this if you like a good roast. Trust me on this. Here it is: Get a tender chuck

Complicated

Maybe I am wrong, but I don't remember life being so complicated when I was in middle school. Everything is so competitive now.  Maybe it was back then and I just didn't realize it. Sarah Kate started playing city league softball a couple of weeks ago.   We've been encouraged to get her private batting lessons. When I was in third grade I started playing softball and I just did it for fun!  No stress at all, as far as I can remember!  I just played.  I wasn't very good, but I liked it! Ha! Emily started band this year!  Before school started, I got a letter from the school district strongly encouraging "your band student to take instrument lessons."  WHAT?  I bought into it and got Emily private clarinet lessons (which she really enjoys)! But, what happened to learning as you go?  I never thought about taking private trumpet lessons when I started band. It seems like most parents are striving for their child to be THE BEST.  I guess that's a go

Life in Pictures!

Emily is enjoying her first year in band.  I am very impressed with her playing skill! Sarah Kate was recently awarded the empathy award at her school.  She is very deserving of this! Here we are before the Cotillion Holly Ball.
