"Free" Saturday

I was up and went out for my 10K, praising God that the weather is cooler... 

After I got back, I was off... I wanted to go and pick up the pictures from two places and then go and get veggies and ear drops for Abby. It was quite a lot to get done in a short amount of time!

Abby, Isaiah and Alan went to play tennis and then Abby went for a swim!

I was back and had a salad for lunch with shredded chicken. So delicious.

Then Alan and I went to pick up plants from a lady who is helping her mom downsize as her step father passed away... She has a lot to get done! 

We got back and unloaded the plants for our complex. They were perfect!

I then hung our family picture for this year as I had a perfect frame for it... and a perfect place. 

By 4pm, they took off for the basketball game and I wanted to rest... yeah! I had to put together the simple PPT for Testimony Sunday, which I'm leading. I wanted to go run three more errands, but I was too tired. I will do those tomorrow! 

The Young Adults were going hiking, but Isaiah decided to cancel! I am so glad as that will give me a free morning!

Not Really A Date?!?!?!

I was up early and the weather was fabulous: DRIZZLING and CLOUDY!

Alan tried to go and play tennis, but it was not going to happen!

Abby and I went for a short run and after our shower, we headed out!

We had a lot planned: Bookstore... Shoe Store... Going around the GongGuan Area... what fun! It was our old stomping ground!

We walked for almost four hours... 

I had tutoring at 4:40, so we had to head back. I rested a bit and headed out!

Alan is fighting a cold so he didn't go for another swim. Abby watched videos on her computer. When I returned, they were still in front of their computers.

I had prayer time at 8:45... but a free day tomorrow. I didn't go and pick up plants or the family pictures... that will be tomorrow!

A Mixed PR Day!

I was up early... and Abby was planning to attend a stretch class... but there were things that she had to deal with related to a class/training session that she's organizing in the church where she's serving at. So... she ended up going to the workout place and the gym. I went for my usual 10K run. It was hot, but there was a breeze!

I was home and it was nice to be home alone!

But at 12:45, I headed out to catch the bus to Ms. Hsieh. I was 10 minutes late... It felt so great!

Abby had a 3pm appointment, so that was perfect. I took the scooter to go and run errands! YIPPY! I got the study guide pages copied and then made 8 by 10 of all our family portraits as she wanted to take them back to Brazil. The total cost was 70US$! I picked up the Garmin charging cables that I ordered! And I also went and donated books!

Abby and I had salads with chicken for dinner and she took off for basketball at Soochow! I again had time to be home alone!

The evening flew by. Prayer time at 8:45!

More Students at the Study!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was up early and knew that the day would be a busy one... and it was...

I ran my 10K and Abby ran 8 and went to play tennis! 

I baked and cooked... and cooked and baked... what a morning... and it went by fast!

I headed out and we had two more new students. Thankfully, I brought enough 'hats' for my "new identity" game! What fun!

I shared about Easter and read the passage and prayed... 

After cleaning up, I went to tutor... God sustained me... I was a bit late, but the little gal didn't have her usual doctor's appointment, so I went long with her!

I rushed home and made Abby's salad and rushed off to tutor. I was early... YEAH! The hour went by... and I was feeling tired.

I got home and Isaiah and Abby were off as Isaiah had a game. Alan was home and enjoying a movie... 

I had a quick meal and put some laundry into the washing machine and cleaned up the house a bit before downloading my emails... and finishing this blog!

I'm so glad that tomorrow will be my PR Day! I had spent time on Tuesday to just sit and read and I hope to do that tomorrow!

Fabulous Tuesday!

I was up early... and after Isaiah took off, I took off for my run. It was before 9am!

I was back and Abby finished her prayer time and went to meet up with Alan for tennis. When they got back, we had lunch together! They went off to the Neihu Sports Center and also to get a new battery for Abby's computer. They also paid the people to 'clean' out her computer files. Then they went to Costco! I gave them a list... and Alan only bought one more item that was not on the list... 

We had to rush off to the Photo Place as we were to select our pictures today!

We made it before 7pm! And we bought more for the next 10 years!

Our plan was to go walk around the Shihlin Night Market and that was what we did... fun! We bought lots of different food items... and then came home for Family Time: Sharing and Praying Together!

(Hence this post is so late!)

A Much More Relaxing Day

I was up early... and the weather looked to be warm... and I was right... I went out for my run a bit too late... 

I did a load of laundry... and at 1:30, Abby and I went out... we are trying to sell a few clothing items... but they were low balling us... We then went to Costco and bought a lot of stuff... WOW... 

We got home and I had prayer time... 

When that was finished, I worked to put things away and get dinner ready!

Abby went for her run... Alan came back home... Isaiah came back home... It was just nice to have everyone home...

Prayer time at 8:45 online!

Tomorrow we will look at our family portraits!

Very LOADED Day!

I was up early and knew that it would be a full go go go day... and it was!

I went downstairs to check on the recycling and did some jump roping... then it was time to head out to donate blood! Wow... they gave so many gifts! I was one of the first (Number 9) and made it early to church for the Young Adults Fellowship! YIPPY!

When that was finished, my student arrived and we started early and ended late... So, at 3pm, I went down and set up the Love Cafe! YEAH!

Abby was the speaker today and Isaiah led worship and translated for Abby! WOW!

We had a newcomer and friends from the UK who came... it was a great service!

The dinner was also superb! And people stayed to talk!

I was home and exhausted... after putting things away, it was time for prayer... 

I was so ready for bed!
