It's the Weekly Recap!

* Last Sunday I was SUPPOSED to write. And I did. I wrote a lovely dream for over two hours in the afternoon. :)  And then I got caught up on all the things I got behind on throughout the week. And then...I concluded the day with a little baking goodness...

* Monday was a rainy day (at least in the morning) so I opted out of the "is she going to work or to the beach?" outfit I'd planned and wore this instead:

Two people asked me if I was going to a hoedown. Good grief. Also had my first moment of something-is-wrong-with-the-board-and-Lynne-isn't-on-the-air panic too. Thankfully Jim hadn't left the studio yet and bailed me out. Lesson learned? Panic awakens me more rapidly than coffee.

* Tuesday evening, I had plans to work on some things at home, but God had other plans. Was working through some heart matters and ended up spending the entire evening in prayer and Bible study:

* Wednesday was the day I got my hair in a ponytail (of sorts) - the one I told you about that looked more like a bird's nest? It was also the day I purchased my very first (and probably very only) golf skirt. And again - I'll not elaborate at this time. It just makes me feel very fancy to say I own a golf skirt. (This from the girl who has to manually deposit the mini-golf ball INTO the hole after 293048230948230498 attempts to hit it in...fail.)

* Thursday evening, the station had a Sticker Stop pretty close to my house, so even though I wasn't assigned to work it, I crashed it:

I stopped on my way home from work and then may or many not have gone to Ivanhoes with Sheryl, Amy and Anna, who were working the Sticker Stop. (Fruit serving for the day: strawberry shortcake.)

* Friday afternoon I had some visitors at the station! My friends Fred and Bev stopped by - and brought me a milkshake! YUM!! After work, I went to an art show that featured the talents of my kiddos Liam and Savannah. Savannah was completely attached to me all night. Loved that. Nothing beats a great kid-hug! (Sorry we're blurry. It was a bad night for self photography.)

* Yesterday was an all-purpose day. Sleeping, scrapbooking, running errands, cleaning, you name it. It is so rare that I have time to do whatever I want...and I completely cherish it when I do!! In the evening, I made Dad's Father's Day present...and look who felt that I couldn't do so without help:

One Thousand Gifts: My Experiencing God study was really hard this week. It uncovered a lot of uncomfortable things in my heart that I SO wanted to skip over, but I had promised God I wouldn't shortcut my way out of this adventure. So I canceled life two different nights this week to work through all the heart-mess. Life is busy and I found it to be a gift that I had the time this week to spend doing that necessary work.

Pinterest Inspiration: Well, this week's Pinterest fun came in the form of making the Father's Day gift. (And I made one for myself too. Not a Father's Day gift. But one of these.)

And here is the version I ended up with:

I used berries instead of leaves...and mine looks far less attractive without the glimmer of sunlight on it. But my photo shoot came during the only sprinkling of rain we've had in two weeks. I am going to get birdseed to put in mine, since I have an actual bird bath. Dad's can be used whichever way he wants to use it!
