What a weekend!
Catching up...
Saturday we had the "open house"
I awoke with a precious dream where God was holding my with a hand on each side of my head and He kissed my forehead...
It was a tender start to a day that was very rich.
I awoke to working on the details needed to have the house show ready.
Our neighbor across the street was so kind and so generous as to keep the dogs in her back yard.
We left and took off to the Pancake house with all of us so hungry and with such low blood sugar that we were in a bad way. The waitress we had was NOT amused with serving children. It was a hard time ordering with her rudeness. I overcame and through the fatigue of it all enjoyed the children and the table spread with such generous servings. Almost all the food was eaten. The tummies were full and the giggles were back and we left the place with a right attitude and an appropriate regard for our server. Sometimes you just gotta rise above the opposition :)
We took the kids to an indoor playground they played and we all had a nice time. I played an old video game that I played 25+ years ago. It was a time of relaxation the kids ran and crawled all through the tubes. Daddy Man joined them and I did not due to my knee I can not crawl around like that. It was a lot of fun. Dash was a "monkey" he climbed hand over hand then sissy joined in. They got so much exercise and play. Then Mr U. went to the car to get the cell phone and I had a message on it. About this time I asked an attendant if the character could come out to see the children. He said he only come to the parties. Then I asked another attendee and he said he would look into it.
He returned with a coy smile and I took the children over to the door way. We were the only ones who knew he was coming out.
It was so exciting to see the smiles on the children's faces. Mr took this shoot of me because he said my smile was as big as theirs. I thought it so sweet to see how God made a way.

OH! they were so happy! This is the character that is Dash's favorite stuffed toy. (a gift from me years ago). The kids dressed them selfs in matching shorts and t-shirts that day. Those are the ones I made way back when.
Well that just about made their day ...but wait...
We were going to go to a wave pool ,but opted for the play place instead. I am afraid of the wave pool. I had told God that I just was not O.K. going to it. With the crowds of people it is a dangerous place for me (my knee) getting struck by children in the water hurts me.
That message...was a friend inviting my kids over to go swimming! So we left the play place and got a cool drink on the way. We arrived and enjoyed some time watching the man of the house tie fly's. What a cool art form. They watched the kids and Beloved and I had a mini "DATE"!
We drove around went to a mall and walked a bit, then we went to a store and bought a DVD for the family(cheaper than going to a movie). We then went out to a light Mexican food dinner and just visited. We told each other what we loved best about the other and just enjoyed the silence of our love. We returned for the children and stopped to get them a taco and then had a movie night with the kids. It was a wonderful day.
The OPEN HOUSE>>> We had three lookers. One was a new neighbor who was going to tell a friend about the house. The Realtor said it showed very well.
Sunday
We awoke and went to services. It was very nice. Timothy was the lesson about how we ought behave as Christians. It was a nice service. I really enjoyed it. Afterward I met the woman in missions who had sent me to the 102 year old Woman (Emily) we spoke.
I made a nice lunch when we got home. I sliced the turkey breasts that I had roasted.
The word last week about the 5th commandment led us to the Grandparents and with much pleasure we had a visit there. The children got the sweet attentions they so long for and they were satiated. I taught Dove how to play solitaire on computer, she loved it. Dash played a game with Gramma and then Dove played it too. The men had time to be together.
We came home Dash and I played a game he made up where he drew a picture I got to look at it then draw it by memory. It was a time of tying cords with him.
I fixed a meal and we all had another movie night with the kids and then it was bath time (with goggles of course). Story time was sweet to hear.

I so hope you get a good lead and sale on this,, it has been long enough I think you need to be able to relax in YOUR home.
What a blessed weekend all around! And what a wonderful dream! When I was going through depression I used to ask God to sing to me while I was asleep then I would wake up having a particular song in my head. God is wonderful!
I love you, and I am praying for you.
