Isn't God's creation amazing! This is a writing spider. Rose found it in the bushes near the office. It was probably 5" across. Notice the "Z's" that it "writes"!

August 8th

Our good friends, the Vidal's, daughter and our Goddaughter turns 16 tomorrow. She is a very special young lady who God has great plans for. They had a fantastic Sweet 16 Party for her. She had a blast! The theme was a masquerade party.

Believe it or not, she's doing the hokey pokey!

These are the guys...

These are the girls...

Yes, here is Arthur and I wearing our masks.

I had to post the picture of Daniel before the party. He's such a handsome young man. BTW, he's lost 35 lbs!

August 7th

Just a quiet night at home. We had grilled steaks, Creamy Potato Packets and Ceasar Salad, accompanied by my new favorite wine, Barefoot Moscato.

July 28th

I guess the world has definitely changed. Yesterday, I met a friend for lunch who happened to be coming to RDU airport. Now we have known each other for probably 8 years. Both of us home schooled and used the same curriculum; both of us attend Calvary Chapels; Both of us moved across country; Both of us worked in the public library. We have chatted about kids, and husbands, and recipes. BUT WE HAD NEVER, EVER MET BEFORE YESTERDAY! We are email pals, having been on the same email loop for the past 8 years. Kristine was dropping her daughter off at the airport and so we made arrangements to meet before she headed back to Virginia. It was wonderful getting to meet each other face to face finally.
