Where Did the Time Go?

I just realized I haven't blogged in two days! What the heck is up with that???? Where has the time gone? Well, mostly I have been enjoying being at home.

Sunday, we went to church and it was lovely seeing all of our friends that we hadn't seen for a month. It was a special service as we ordained two deacons. There was a meal afterward and we were torn between staying for it and heading home to do some things before going to Roanoke to see Bruce. We ended up coming home.

We drove to Roanoke to see Bruce and Ryan's new place. It is a very nice townhouse with more space than their last apartment. There is a nice little patio, the neighborhood is quiet, and being the computer guys that they are, they both have their computer desks set up so they can work and watch TV at the same time.

Bruce and Ryan had just adopted two kittens, they are real cuties. Rhonda and Abe were adopted from St. Francis of Assisi. They are full of fun. Here are some pictures:

Bruce was showing Jack something on the computer:

Katrina with Rhonda:

Abe was shy, but I finally got a photo:

After we visited a bit, we went to Logan's Roadhouse for Bruce's birthday dinner. Daniel was supposed to come, but work kept him home. We enjoyed a lovely meal before heading back home to Huddleston. Bruce turned 22 yesterday.

Yesterday we spent the morning getting Jack packed up and ready to head to Go Tell Camp. We met the others at church and they were off. I am sure they will have a lovely week and while Jack was a little worried about being homesick, he is there with his best friend and I think he will have a great time. He did call me late last night and told me he was having a good time. Troy, one of the two chaperones, was letting him and the other kids use his phone to call home.

After dropping Jack off, I picked up Katrina's friend Kayley. She and Katrina will be spending most of the week together (if they don't get on one another's nerves!). We came back to the house and I puttered while Daniel packed to head back to Bloomington. We drove him to the airport, then I took the girls to get an ice cream cone at an ice cream stand. It is called Mr. Goodie's, I think. Anyway, it is a stand in a parking lot and they have great prices. I got the girls medium cones and they were huge! I bet there was 6 inches of ice cream on there! Made for a yummy supper! We stopped by the grocery store to pick up a few items I would need for this week, then came home.

Again, I puttered around a bit while waiting for Ashley and Theresy (next door neighbors) to arrive. We were going to watch The Haunting together. they showed up with cheesecake (my favorite) and we watched The Haunting and then we watched The Reaping. It was 12:30 when our scary movie night was done. It was loads of fun! The girls fell asleep watching Scooby Doo shows.

Today we are heading to Miller Park Pool in Lynchburg (ironically, there is also a Miller Park in Bloomington).

So now I guess I know where my time goes;) And you do too...
