* Last Sunday morning, after THOROUGHLY enjoying our extra hour of sleep, we worked a booth at a church to share about what we do and offer opportunities for people to volunteer. We spoke briefly in both services, and it was a good morning! BONUS! I got to see one of my friends from my station days, and that made my entire day. After church, Justine came over and she and I spent the afternoon working on computer stuff while actual snow swirled outside. WHAT!?!? And then I apparently fell asleep in the middle of a project and Ryan so kindly documented it for me!
* Monday was our 95th monthiversary! We were on duty together all day, which made working on a monthiversary fun! My parents and aunt came to visit in the afternoon, and they took us to Dairy Sweet; they needed lunch, but we had already eaten. So.....we got ice cream that turned out to be WAY bigger servings than we imagined. (I didn't hate it.) I already told you all about the monthiversary in greater detail, so I'll just leave the day at that!
* Tuesday was a gorgeous fall day here - no more snow! I wrote some devos for WillowBridge during the day, and that evening, Ryan did driving test studying with one of our tenants. He is SUCH a good and patient teacher. While he did that, I hung out with the baby. Tough job, but someone has to do it, right? Anyway, about studying for driving, we are relearning all the official names of all the signs that I don't think we've actually known since we took driver's ed ourselves.
* Wednesday afternoon we had a long training session on Zoom, and when that was over, we went on a gorgeous sunset walk. (Sunsets are so early now that we have to take them in the afternoon.) We had some more meetings with Tim and Justine that evening, and then our work day ended, and it became the beginning of our WEEKEND!!
* Our weekend this week was all about Abby. Thursday was priming day. Priming for hours! We did take walking breaks between coats - and here's a story for you about that! We saw a woman playing with her kids in their driveway on our first walk, and then about four hours later, we saw her out on a walk of her own. She stopped, looked at us, and said, "Have you guys been walking all day?" LOL! And then we proceeded to make a new friend in her! Working together, we were able to get ALL the priming done that day.
* So then Friday became painting day for REAL! We turned on piano hymns for the whole day and painted all the cabinet frames white. We were so happy with how it turned out. So much lighter and brighter than it had been! We went grocery shopping that night, which also included dinner out at Subway. I don't think I've ever been happier about a flatbread sandwich!
* We went back to work yesterday, which included running our tenants several places and catching up on a lot of computer work after being off for two days. In his down time, Ryan worked on painting the walls in Abby! (She's going to have blue walls.) I made two delicious meals yesterday - Dashing Dish for the win TWICE. And look how pretty WillowBridge looks in the fall. Those red bushes are amazing!

You did have a busy week! Abby is looking great (:
I’m loving the colors on the trees this year. They are either brighter than in recent years, or I’m just appreciating them more due to all that is going on. It’s probably some of both!
Tamar - Thank you! I'm getting really excited about her!
Tracy - I think the same thing!!!
So much painting! But you're finally to the fun painting where you see results. And yes, enjoy those walks while you can. I didn't remember that this week began with snow and ended with short sleeves. Ha!
