Another Family Day Outing!

I was up early and we had a lot of ideas as to what we'd do this day.

It's been a tremendous blessing to have these four days off... and that Fenny went to Australia, so that we can have Isaiah... Abby likes hanging out with Isaiah... we all do... 

We had thought about going out to YiLiou, but the morning was cloudy and raining. 

The rain turned into a drizzle and Alan and Isaiah went out to play tennis and Abby and I went out for a run. It turned hot and humid very quickly. I ran home and Abby went and played a bit of tennis.

We were all home by 11:20 and called Mom Bea to wish her a happy Resurrection Sunday and to chat. It was really really nice!

After that, everyone took turns to take a shower and then we were off... We decided to go to a Cantonese restaurant and then shop at the shoes store and walk around for snacks and drinks... then we were off to PX Mart and Costco and got home at 5:10. I put everything away while everyone else took a nap.

At 5:45, I went and laid down. It was so good to nap!

We went to church at 6:45 as we had our monthly meeting and prayer time at 7pm.

When we got back, it was time to start packing. We had thought about going for a massage... but Isaiah has work tomorrow! And Abby still has errands to run... plus packing... and her nail appointment... Alan has Tuesday and Wednesday off... but I have a full day of commitments on Wednesday!

Resurrection Sunday!

I was up early... and I knew it was going to be a long day!

Abby went for a run. Alan went to play tennis... and Isaiah joined him later.

I went for a simple walk... and two miracles happened...

One of my neighbors was riding down and was going to go to her office. She stopped to talk and I said it was Resurrection Sunday and she said: I guess I should go to church... and she went to church instead of going to work!

Then I went to HiLife to pay a bill and another neighbor walked in.  She knew I was a Christian and she told me she had recently become a Christian and wanted to know how to pray and grow in Christ. We stood there for 30 minutes talking about God! That was fabulous...

We got to church and I worked at setting up... coffee, snacks... the Lord's Supper! Isaiah shared the message. Abby was the worship leader and the translator. I had ordered the Love Feast and it was perfect! I was also in charge of cleaning up... WOW... I was so exhausted!

Glad it's a holiday tomorrow!

And we never got to packing for Abby!

Holiday Saturday!

I was up and again, the skies were dark and the drizzle was coming down!

Alan went to the tennis courts to see if there were people playing! I went for a run... and on the way back, Abby was just heading out... and she was gesturing 20... but she was wearing her tennis shoes not her running shoes! So I ran with her... and she did not go for 20... but she ran about 11k! I ran 21.74... so I ran a half!

I was so glad for a shower... and then I had a simple lunch... And I napped for two hours!

I got up and tidied up and made winter melon tea... I wanted to bring it for the Love Feast tomorrow!

At 4:45, we left for dinner at Lorain's. She prepared a feast!... AS ALWAYS! We ate so much...

Rainy Day Run!

I was up and the sound of rain was just so delightful... the skies were dark... 

Of course, I went out in the rain... and no one was around... just the earth worms and birds... 

After a shower, I put in a load of laundry and when that was done and hung up, I went to do my errands. The rain had stopped. I paid a bill, went to a friend's house and fixed their shower head, and went to our old house to switch an iron to give away!

Alan went to play a little tennis.

This afternoon, we got together with friends... I had ordered pizza and made a salad... we also went to CoCo to buy the drinks.

And even though it was a holiday, we had prayer time at 8:45.

The day flew by... 

Abby and I are still working on going for a long run... tomorrow... maybe... The kids were out late... or rather, early morning... they slept the whole day... and only got up when we were going to go out to meet up with friends! I was ready for a long run... but she didn't get up until 1pm... and was just lazy.

Alan's Day Off!

I was up early and was hoping that Abby would go for a long run... but that didn't happen. She had promised a gal from church to attend the stretching class. I went and ran my 10K. It got hot! 

I was home and had time to just hang out and read... I set the iRobot going and sat on the sofa. I'm thinking about what to share on April 26th! God was filling my mind with ideas.

Abby was to come home for lunch but the gal invited her out. So... from lunch she went straight to meet up with another church family... and I had to get Alan to ride over to switch scooter with her. When Alan came back, I was off... I wanted to go pay a few bills and I had a nice oil massage at 3pm.

I got home at 5pm and we had a dinner date with friends at 5:30. But with only my small scooter, Alan rode down and I walked. ha, ha, ha... 

We were back home by 8:15 and I had prayer time at 8:45.

The kids were out with their 'cousins'... Rex and Peilun's kids who are like their cousins as they hung out quite a bit when they were young! It's Diean's birthday and they booked dinner at a fancy hotel up on YangMing Mountain! That's why Abby needed Alan's scooter... it has more power!

The day flew by... I think Abby will have to go for a long run tomorrow... Oh... in case you didn't know. She signed up for a full marathon and while she is home, she had asked to go for a long run as part of her training... That's why I keep asking her about going... She has not gone running until she got back... I guess she can just walk it... or forfeit... that's a waste of money... So... we shall see...

Spring Break Wednesday

I was up early and went out, thinking the day might turn hot... and it didn't... in fact, it stayed nice and cool with a slight drizzle!

I was home and after a quick shower, I was looking over what I needed to do for the day.

Abby needed to go and get US$ cash to bring back... I wanted to get two I-cash cards replaced... 

Anyhow... the day flew by... 

I had tutoring at 6pm and then prayer time at 8:45... 

I had time for a nap and time to read... but overall... the day flew by... Like Mom Bea writes... I had a busy day... but I can't say why it was so busy...

Great Study and A Lot More Restful!

I was up super early as Abby needed to go for a long run before the heat... but she couldn't get up. So, I went for my usual 10K and saw my 'usual' early morning running friends... it was very nice! I think I will have to start to do this as the temp is getting warmer and warmer...

I was home and had time to get things together for my study. After my shower, I left to head to church early to make these grilled sandwiches and to set up!

We had six gals and the discussion again was insightful. Abby joined us too... so... a total of seven gals! We all hung around to chat and I didn't get home until 2pm. 

Alan and Abby headed out to the swimming pool and I headed to the sofa... I took a two-hour nap! 

My evening tutoring cancelled. We had already planned on Family Time at 9pm, so we just decided to have dinner out and then played Rummy Q and Alan and I had prayer time with the church and then we had share and prayer time together as a family. Next week will be our last time before Abby heads back! WAHHHHHH...

Tomorrow is April Fool's Day but it's also the start of the spring break... YIPPY! 

Isaiah doesn't have vacation until Friday... it's a four day weekend for everyone! Fenny headed to Melbourne, so Isaiah will be hanging out with us more... which works out perfectly since Abby is taking off next week! God worked this out...
