Sunday

Grandpop and Wesley

Snuggle time!

Red, White, and Blue Sunday was terrific. There were 15 or so members of the EMTs, Fire, Sheriff, City Police, State Patrol, DNR, and Juvenile Court in attendance. They all introduced themselves and then were given a rose. One representative from each branch accepted a framed print of an eagle over the flag done by Larry Zach. The serving committee had a meal for everyone afterwards. We only had one service this morning so the sanctuary was packed and overflowed into the foyer. 

Dad wanted to attend the service so I got him there early enough to get a seat in the back of the sanctuary. We then went to Prairie View for an afternoon church service. Larry played his accordion to accompany the hymns. 

A story that come out of Larry's travels was about the chocolate cake on the menu of the Claim Jumper restaurant in San Diego. The cake was 6 layers tall. Each piece of cake was $9.95. I "Googled" it and came up with the recipe. If you want a very rich and large chocolate cake look up Chocolate Motherlode cake. Calls for 6 3/4 cups of flour and 3 cups of chocolate chips. Wow! Don't count the calories.

Well this week is stacking up to be as busy as last. Getting VBS projects settled. Still have some work to do. Have dentist appointment and Dad has cataract surgery at 9 a.m. CDST on Friday. Pray for Dr. Madson as he does the surgery and that Dad will be calm. He already is expressing concern about some things that have to be done to get him ready. Will be an interesting weekend for me.

Hopefully I will be able to begin flower shoppe inventory and spring cleaning this week. Plan to do just a bit here and there.
