Well, it's Monday morning and I've got a list of things that I'd just love to get done. A few loads of laundry are partly finished and I think it's time to enjoy some green tea (yup, I like green tea) and do some important work on the computer :).
The last few weeks have been busy. We had an adorable little 3 year old living with us for 1 1/2 weeks while her parents were in Australia. Her dad is Hannah's teacher and so Hannah had a substitute teacher for the time they were away. It all went really well but it does change life somewhat and your expectations are somewhat lowered as far as what you think you will accomplish. The first thing she said once she was awake was "go bye bye?". She just loved to go out and so my busy lifestyle suited her just fine.
At the end of last week was also our annual Plant Sale - a two day event where we sell an assortment of perennials and annuals and crafty gardening items. It is one of our biggest fundraisers and so it also takes up a bit of time planning, potting, advertising and working at the sale. I don't have the figures yet but we feel it was successful. I could not help both days because I had our annual "Sisters" Retreat. We get together with 10 - 12 friends for a two day overnight retreat. We enjoyed a hike, bible study, craft (succulent wreath), and just hanging out together and enjoying each other's company. Lots of laughter! It's a real blessing to have good friends that share your faith in God and are on the same path together as moms, wives and women in the church.

What a cutie foster child, eh!! I guess they are all cute. Sounds like you enjoyed her short stay, too.
Thanks for regular blogging, Corrie
