We also went to a quilt store in Victoria that I really liked. I even purchased a few things, which hopefully will keep me busy for a while (as if I didn't have enough to work on already). After a trip to Lowe's to follow up on Joyce's floor installation, we visited a while longer and headed on home. Dinner at Las Flores with Brad and Sarah allowed us to celebrate Hunter being officially employed as of that day. He's now a Mylogy employee and is very excited about the challenge. What a great day it was.
Yesterday we drove to Montgomery to see Mom and Dad. I knew that they needed a little yard trimming work done, so Brad came along with Hunter and me to see what we could do to help. A little trimming turned out to be quite an understatement, but after all was said and done, the yard looked great. Brad did manage to baptize the blower in the lake after 6" flames shot out from it (AFTER it had already been unplugged!!!) It was either baptize it, or drop it into the pile of dried leaves, and that decision didn't take long. Looks like we'll need to buy Dad a new blower. His was old anyway. Hunter got to ride his motorcycle up to Montgomery, so he enjoyed most of the day. I enjoyed a ride with Brad (and Dave Matthews) in his truck. After a long ride home, Mark and Linda asked to meet us at Las Flores, so off we went AGAIN. Good thing they have a menu with lots of variety.
Church was wonderful today. Brian Haynes preached in Alex's absence, and I love the way Brian teaches. I always learn a lot from him. I'm excited about the missions project our Sunday School is planning for March 7th (Kingsland Cares Day). We are going to help spruce up a church that is between Fulshear and Simonton that is 102 years old. Their church members are SO excited that we're coming. We've already had most of the rotten boards replaced and the building has been power-washed. When we go on the 7th, we'll paint the building and redo their flowerbeds to help the outside be more appealing for the members and those they are trying to reach. We'll even get to have a short devotional and praise time with them. What fun that will be.!!!
