Photo of hubby who is currently in Holland. After many days of hot weather, the actual day of the 'cousins reunion' (May 17th) was actually cool and rainy, as you can see by the clothes he is wearing. Two of his sisters had organized the reunion and it was held at Evelien's house. They set up tents which was a good thing, given the weather and they had a lot of fun. That family is crazy as it is, so I can just imagine the fun they had. Although I miss him, I am very happy he decided to go. He is seeing tons of relatives and it is good for everybody to reconnect. He is one of 10 children, so you can imagine that he is kept plenty busy....

Saturday was amazingly warm here and instant summer temps. 28 degrees (celcius that is... for my American friends). Natalie and I hit the road - spur of the moment - and ended up on the beach in Parksville.

Sunday was church and then CLEANING. Renovations are such that the house was covered in a layer of dust, so I sweated off quite a few calories yesterday.

Today - other than updating my blog - I intend to do some more reading (note the book...it is fascinating, you should read it), paying bills (again...why is there never an end to that?) and make myself decent meals, which is not easy with hubby not here. I tend not to take good care of myself when it comes to food.

Speaking of food, I am back on the program, because I managed to gain a significant number of pounds during the last 12 months, given all the emotional upheaval and major changes in my life and family during that time. "They" are right, emotional eating is my downfall. But now I am putting myself back on track. (So cheer me on, will you, or I might become grumpy .....and you do not want to see me grumpy...do you now... )

May God bless you. May all the nations fall on their knees and worship our wonderful Lord, Jesus the Christ who came to save and restore. How amazing is His grace. It is BEYOND description. I love Jesus. He died to save the WHOLE WORLD. Salvation is for everyone. My desire is to be able to visit a whole bunch of the nations of the world...someday....while I am still in the land of the living....

Blessings

Sounds like you've had an enjoyable long weekend. How great to just take off and wind up in Parksville! What a treat.

Good luck with your new eating regime ( I hate calling anything a diet...no word with the word die in it can be good!) I despearately need to do the same thing. Wish I had a dog to motivate me to walk every day!

Bless your upcoming week Rennie. May God's light shine all around you.

Thanks for the comment Renny, I hope to be eating nice sweet juicy tomatoes by the end of June or surely by July. I like to cut a whole tomato up and just eat it with a little salt. What I REALLY love is to have a bowl of cherry tomatoes and cover them with Honey French dressing....man I can get sick off eatin them thangs! Grammy and I both love tomatoes and okra stewed with onions and whatever else she throws in...I can do without the celery, but I'll live

Hubby in Holland ay. I know you'll be glad when he's back home. Hope all is well up there. God bless ya Renny!
