Sunday Snapshots: Memorable Moments from the Week

 


Good morning! June is wrapping up, and I have to say it’s been a sweet month. I’ve enjoyed the good memories we’ve packed into the last four weeks, and today I want to share with you some of my favorite memories from this most recent week!

Last Sunday I “served on a team” that demonstrated eating ice cream during an announcement at church. I mean…eating ice cream during church? It’s not a bad way to spend a day, right? 😊 Ministry can be many things, and it sure was for me the week leading up to this one. We had some good and hard all mixed in there together. But getting to eat ice cream was a fun new way to spend a moment of the day.

It has been so hot here over the last week, so we have upped our watering game to morning AND evening. Some of our plants were wilting in between if we didn’t double the drinks! The garden was pretty stunted in growth from our extra-cold May, but it’s catching up now!

Remember the ice cream ministry from Sunday? I just left my little pint at the church and when I’m there working, I sneak down to the kitchen once or twice a day for a couple of spoonfuls. Not even a serving. Just a taste. It’s so good, and I have to say that sneaking a spoonful of ice cream straight from the carton feels like such a treat of adulthood. Ha!

I took my dad to a medical appointment this week, and on the way back to Swiss Village, I told him we needed to detour to the coffee shop so I could surprise Ryan with a coffee! And that is one of my favorite things to do to show him how much I love him!

My coffee setup at the church office is now complete! I took my own little bottle of almond milk to keep for my coffee consumption when I’m working from my office!

Our garden has gone wild this week! Between the heat and the rain, we have blossoms and even some tiny tomatoes and zucchinis! I know our harvest isn’t going to be as big this year, because the weird May weather didn’t do us any favors, but I am grateful for what we do have.

Ryan and I went on a date yesterday and got some coffee for our drive home. I think it's possible that the barista stopped writing her message partway through??


                Happy Sunday, my friends! Hope your day is grand!
