Bits of This and That - Hello Monday

It's Monday morning and it's going to be a good day.  Every day is a good day when I wake up on this side of the dirt.  Hope you are going to have a good day too.  My plans for today have already changed.  When I got up this morning, I did not plan on taking a walk, well at least not more than was necessary to get Lucy to take care of business.  Then when she wouldn't go in the yard, I ended up putting on some clothes (I just can't walk the neighborhood in my pj's.) and we took off for a walk.  Actually, I'm glad we did it.  It was so nice out, only 64 degrees and sunny and we both enjoyed it.  

Hubby and I then got cleaned up and picked up some breakfast at Burger King and now we're at the church.  We stopped at one of the Little Library's in town and dropped off a few books I had in the car.  They had some really good books in there too, but I didn't take any this time, as I've recently downloaded several to my Kindle and that's what I'm currently reading.  

My plans today are to finish this post, check in with some friends' blogs, and do some Bible study prepping for our upcoming Fall Study.  I'm also hoping to practice the piano some and then maybe watch a documentary series that I started over the weekend and do some crochet.  Time will tell if I get to all that or not.

Hubby and I had a very quiet weekend.  I finished a book and started another.  Did some normal housework and went to lunch on Saturday with his mom.  We had 2 good services on Sunday and I'll post the pre-recorded sermon below. 

I'm also linking up with Holly & Sarah for Hello Monday.  Thanks for visiting and I hope you have a really great week.

Bits of This and That

 

Good Morning:  

I hope your day has started out well.  I've had a good morning.  First of all I put out 6 bags, plus a suit case for the Vietnam Veterans of America to pick up today.  We are working on purging stuff from our closets, dressers, etc.  Actually, from all over the house.  We have lived here for 27 years and have accumulated a lot of stuff.  It feels so good to be getting things organized and cleaned out.  I did my side of the closet and now I can see what I actually have.  We're both being pretty ruthless and getting rid of a lot of things.  I think the house is starting to give a sigh of relief to be unloaded some.  lol  It's a work in progress, but we'll get there in time.

Another thing we did this morning was put out some solar lights I picked up last week.  Can't wait to see them lit up tonight.  Although, it's so cloudy today, I'm not sure if they'll charge or not.

We stopped at McDonald's for some breakfast and then headed in to church, where I am currently writing this post.  I still just love my little office here.  This is where I do the majority of my Bible Study and blog writing.

On the way to church, we stopped at a Little Library and I found a book to read and I added a bag of my books.  I am so fascinated by these Little Libraries and have been watching this one for weeks.  Today, it finally had room for me to add some.  I seldom read real books as I usually read on my Kindle.  But it was fun to pick one up and I'm looking forward to reading it when I finish the current book I'm reading.  Unfortunately, I didn't think to take a picture until after I had pulled away.  Maybe, I'll remember to get one later, as I have tons of books to be donating.

This is the book I got

Hubby and I had a good weekend, good food, good movies, reading and crocheting.  That all sounds perfect to me.  On Sunday we went to church (pre-recorded video of the sermon is below) and got Chipotle for lunch and brought it home.  Delicious!  Then I went to a 2'nd cousin's graduation party.  Life is so exciting when you've just graduated and are looking forward to the next phase of life.  It was so fun visiting with everyone. Congratulations Tannen! And, of course, no photos taken again.  lol

Here's Tannen on the left with my dad when at Otterbein. 
Dad loved when they visited him and his mom told me
yesterday that Tannen and his sister (Trinity) loved to go
visit my dad. That's their dad behind my dad. 

 

We that's the end for now of my Bits of This and That.  Thanks for visiting and I hope you have a blessed day.  But before you leave, tell me something you did this weekend.
