Seven Quick Takes Friday

-One-
I am excited to be starting a summer Bible Study at our church sometime this June. I have 6 or 7 ladies that have approached me with interest thus far. I still haven't decided what we'll study. I am kind of thinking I might do a series on the Sacraments and Scripture. Anyone have any good ideas?

-Two-
We had a sewing party again this week. I was able to patch up a pair of Kurt's Lee Dungaree shorts. He is in the process of writing a letter of complaint to Lee Dungaree because there seems to be a ripping trend that I have had to mend. Let's hope the letter gets us a free pair of pants!

-Three-
Pampered! My mother-in-law and I were pampered this week with manicures and pedicures (post mother's day treat). We really aren't as sophisticated as it may sound- it was a first for the both of us. What fun!

How does your garden grow?
Mine is looking great thanks to my green thumb husband! I also attempted to plant lilies of the valley along the one side of our house. There are quite a few left if anyone is interested...I'm still trying to decide if I want to plant them around here. Better do that soon, huh?

-Six-
I have been enjoying reading a Catholic fairy tale series recently. I found them through blogging (of course) and was pleasantly surprised to be able to get them on inter-library loan. You, too, could check them out here.

-Seven-
We have house guests again! My friend, Paula, is down on her annual vacation (a Memorial Day tradition) and a former student of mine, Jacob, is also visiting too. I know, you might think its funny to have a student visiting but it is really kinda neat! It is weird to see how he's grown into an adult now- in graduate school (and almost done!). I am really enjoying their company! We were up till the wee hours having adult conversations yesterday! It is so wonderful to talk about faith, politics, life etc. and not with a one year old. What a blessing!! Kurt's family will be arriving from Michigan on Saturday. And my family will also be down by Sunday! What a gift!
