May 13. Yes, it was a very busy day today. We thank the Lord that it was somewhat cooler than yesterday. We rearranged the living room to make more space; cleaned; decorated; set up tables to put food on this evening; cut up deli meat, cheese, tomatoes, and cucumbers to put on crackers. Daddy went out to buy a few items and also bought a mop so we could scrub the front porch, as parts of the porch were covered with a green substance from the rains. (likely pollen) When everything else was ready, I made a gingerbread for Christy. People started coming right about 5:00, but not nearly as many as we expected. A number of those invited were not able to come. A lot of other activities going on this weekend. The people across the street had company too -- quite a few children over there who aren’t usually there. They had a barbecue grill out and seemed to be enjoying a good time together. J came over to see what was going on here and to congratulate Christy. “11I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep…. 14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.” John 10:11,14 May 14. We were thankful for a cooler day again. Today I was pretty tired after the busy day yesterday. Knees and feet still swollen a lot so didn’t feel like being on my feet to much. Made sure to finish cleaning up the living room after yesterday’s party. Did some crocheting. Fixed a salad, and rice with fried deli meet and lentils for dinner. Did a little bit of computer work. Folded the clothes that were washed on Thursday. Took some pictures of the pretty pink roses climbing up a tree in the back yard. (Probably didn’t do all those things in that particular order, but my tired brain is not remembering the order of the day.) Daddy took some leftover cupcakes out to our backyard neighbors. We had also bagged up some groceries and put them under the mailbox for the letter carrier to take today for needy families. She went away without them, however, so Connie ran after her when she was next door and gave her the bags. She said she thought they were our groceries. :-) Our nap today was interrupted a little sooner than I hoped because Daddy heard a car door shut and thought that our landlord and wife had arrived early. They had, but actually they were leaving already. They had been here while we were napping, and we never heard them at all. They checked the attic for animals, but didn’t find anything. So maybe the noises we hear are on the roof and not in the attic since, they said, they had previously sealed up all the spaces to keep animals out. The only way they could think of that a squirrel might have gotten into the wall and made a nest was if there is a hole under the house. The crawl space is so small, however, that he did not go underneath to check. He sprayed some non-toxic stuff that should keep the animals away. They also sprayed around the whole house with a non-toxic (to humans) bug spray. “27My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: 28And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. 29My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. 30I and my Father are one.” John 10:27-30
