May 12. Much cooler today. Went down to about 63º over night and only went up about one degree before it went down below the overnight high in the afternoon. Today was another go, go, go day. First order of business was laundry. While clothes were washing, I got a card and note ready to go to a dear sister in Christ, Barbara L. After we hung out the clothes, we made a quick trip to Lowes to find flowers to give to a couple neighbors for Mother’s Day. Found some pretty little plants called celosia and bought a couple plain pots to put them in. The pots were a little big, however; and when we got home, we learned that there wasn’t any more potting soil around. We didn’t want to go back and buy more potting soil today. I got busy then in the kitchen as it was soup making day -- carrot-zucchini-mushroom soup today, with lentils. After I got that on to cook, I did the dishes so Christy wouldn’t have so many this evening. There was already quite a stack there since the last time I had done them was yesterday afternoon. By the time I finished dishes it was just about noon. Time to eat, right? Instead we decided to run down to the Bargain Hunter’s Thrift Store and see if we could find a couple pretty little containers that the plants would fit in without needing extra dirt. I was happy to find a pretty off-white soup mug with blue veggies on it and a white ceramic container with hearts on it -- 69cents each. Then I took a quick look at the jumper/dress section. Nothing there. And a quick look at the stuffed toy section. Oh, look! A cute stuffed pig for only a quarter. Back home for lunch. And before we got to nap, Christy came home. She had gotten off at 1:00 today. Had a couple more gifts -- an umbrella for teacher appreciation week, and a rose that was leftover from Muffins for Mom day. It was 1:45 when we got settled down for nap. After nap, I transplanted the celosia into the pretty containers. This morning, I started memorizing Psalm 4:3-5 and hope to memorize 6-8 later. “3But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him. 4Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah. 5Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.” May 13. This morning it was time to get gifts and cards together for Mother’s Day -- one for a secret sister and one for a neighbor. While Christy and Connie were gone to market, we delivered the gift for our backyard neighbor -- a celosia plant for Vaughn and a thank you card with a few dollars for Michael in appreciation for his mowing our lawn. We have a plant for another neighbor too, but didn’t get a chance to take it over today. Transferred pictures to the computer and fixed those. Then spent some time with Christy in her room starting to clean out one of the file cabinets that she has. Did more cleaning out of that in the afternoon. And in the evening, I worked on the plans for our new display board. “13Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom…. 17But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.” James 3:13,17
