Work is now in the shop for which we're thankful. More please. :) Hoping and praying it's the beginning of a pattern. A small start, but all good.
Spring (summer?) cleaning. Throwing out, putting away dishes, much heavy dusting, washing/ironing curtains, washing windows. Re-arranging furniture.
The prospect of Nat'l Guard boy bringing his girlfriend to dinner. Hence cleaning. Not sure when she'll be here, but I feel more pressure to tidy for a female than for oldest daughter's sweet Indian boyfriend, who just overlooks most things. He's very laid back.
I asked our son how serious he was about this girl and says he doesn't see the sense in wasting time if he's not serious. Oh my. Not sure I'm prepared for another child's romance. Had lunch with the two of them on Monday. Sweet visit, but some concerns---some large, some not so large. Much prayer needed. Mostly focusing on the aspect of them being unequally yoked. Not a good basis for a grounded relationship, I'm thinking. Not sure our son is convinced of it being of the utmost in importance. More prayer. He says she's 'close' to releasing her will to the Lord. She leans more to an intellectual's viewpoint, and is very well educated...already has her Master's and is working on her PhD. I think she's got more book learning than all of us all rolled up together. We lean more toward street smarts in our household. Whatever.
Tomorrow will finish up more cleaning. So enjoyed today's work. It felt good to be busy and see evidence of it at the end of the day. Not sure those who worked and weren't here could see much had been done, but those of us who plowed away sure did. :)
