I have been looking for over 3 years for new dishes. And now that I quit looking I found some I fell in love with. No coffee cups and I was so happy because I have enough cups for the one or two times a year I make coffee. Service for 6 for just $24.99. Nice big bowls, too.
Happy birthday to my very first grandchild, Garret. He held my heart from the moment I saw him. They say you don't understand what being a grandmother is about until you have a grandchild. Well that was the truth.
I was involved in Children's Church for 12 years total, 8 of those were at the director. I loved every moment it of it. But last years I stepped down because I just felt it was time. Then we started a new Children's Church program, but Covid hit and we had to change again. We barely got the new one going and a new out break of Covid, side-lined us again. We are back up and running and I am a volunteer again. I am happy to be involved with the program again, if Covid just leaves us alone so we can continue. But I wanted to post today with some pictures from over the years of my Children's Church kids that I have become so close to.
