Dad's, Drs. and Workshop

Thur.  After getting up late we headed to Skidders for breakfast.  Dad had a Dr. appt. for his white blood cells are high.  We were grateful that right now we just have to keep an eye on the labs.  We played pegs and jokers twice today Linda 5 the guys 3.  To celebrate Jennifer's birthday on Fri.  we went to Skidder's to have hamburgers and fries.  We also had a delicious chocolate cake(picture below).  We had some guest, dad's childhood friends daughter.  We had a lot of wind and rain.  We were glad we had washed the windows in his living room.

Fri.  We went to Skidder's again for breakfast then We went and met my new Dr.  and got two more appointment at the end of the month.  When we got home we opened our mail, made phone calls, and paid bills.  We played more cards and now all even 5 games each.  We had dinner and watched a movie.

Sat.  After breakfast we played two games of pegs and jokers each of us won a game.  For lunch we had glorified ham sandwiches (yum yum).   On our way home we went to Bealls's and got Linda some sandals.  When we got gas they had a Cinnabon  which they were just pulling out of the oven.  It was way to tempting and they did taste oh so good.  When we got home we got caught up on our paper work.

Sun.  It was nice to get back into routine.  Coffee in bed, bible devo, breakfast, then off to church.  We had a Afternoon Tea (code for cookies and treats) to start the workshop.  It is also a time for getting the material for the workshop and paying for the banquet dinner, men or women luncheon, and workshop fees.  We had a devo at the chapel then a super bowl party.  Some watched the game others watched and played hand and foot which the guys won.

Mon.  Two of us are in charge of the coffee for the next two weeks.  We made some coffee I went home and we had breakfast and bible study.   We went to the workshop and heard a great speaker to encourage us.  We came home for lunch then back for more speakers.  We then played games outside bean bag toss and bocce ball(it was the first time I played it lots of fun). After dinner we had a meeting to tell us how the bible bowl is going to be played next week and a sing along.  We have many talented song leader and we sang for two hours.

Tues.  We got coffee ready for us and the workshop then went on a walk.  It was cold the wind went through us.  After our bible study and breakfast we went to the workshop where we had another wonderful speaker Phil Barns the preacher at Orange Ave. COC where we have been attending.  We finally got the Sojourn decal for the front of the car sandpit in on.  The ladies had there luncheon where I was able with two other guys to serve. Then to the mens luncheon where I was able to eat yummy subs.  Our afternoon classes was a round up of places of sojourns that folks have been on.  It gave us ideas where we would like to serve.  We had our games then after dinner about 40 played  board and card games.  Linda and I played pegs and jokers guys 2 girls 1.

Wed.  It was COLD this morning so we did not walk.  I got up made coffee at the rig then four pots for the workshop.  We looked at the boards to see the sojourn's out west.  Then as being the coffee person all the pots were empty.  I made more then some for our break.  We had the minister from Mt. Dora COC speak today.  Another wonderful speaker.  This afternoon Dr. Moore spoke on Islam every time he speaks on it I learn more and more.  We left to get hair cuts, Starbucks, mail a package, shop, and a picnic that we ate in the car because it was tooCOLD and windy out.  The temp. dropped fast, suppose to be in the 30's.  After church we went to Publix then home.
