This is the Day the Lord Hath Made!

Lift up your hearts and rejoice. As you can tell I just got home from church....was a very good day to be there. All the readings were on having Faith and the healing power of God. It was very emotional for me....but so glad I was there. A good reminder to think positive. It is a beautiful day on the lake as well, warm already, but calm and sunny. Yesterday was a good day as well....I did make it to the farmers market and ended up buying at four of the about 8 or 10 booths. I got my cinnamon raisin bread like I went for, but ended up with a cinnamon honey nut bagel from another booth, and Cherry Almond granola from another, and some decorative pillows from another. Good day shopping. When I got home it wasn't long and the Stalboergers were here. Well Annie, Doug and Matthew...the girls (or atleast Allie) had to work bagging groceries for cross country I think. Doug worked hard and continually all day....first Annie and I helped him get the furniture back on the deck, and I washed everything down, including the sides of the cabin so everything is fresh and clean. Then Doug mowed, watered all the flowers, placed pavers in front of the new lower sliding glass door...went and got the speed boat from storage, and drove it back to the cabin and put the canopy on the lift....took Matthew tubing to his glory....he loved it!! Doug also put up shelves in their closet, filled them with supplies for the week and helped Annie hang mirrors and pictures on their bedroom walls that they just painted last week. He is a working fool...reminds me of Gene...could never sit still when he was up here. They left a little after 7 p.m., and I went to the basement and watched HGTV till about 10:30 and went to bed. This morning, I got up, showered and got dressed and headed for church at 8:30 a.m., now I'm waiting for Jimbo and Ann to arrive....don't know what they have planned for the day....but I'm sure it will be work of some sort, and some boating and listening to the Twins game....or watching it. I just realized this morning I have forgotten to buy a turkey to put on the grill for the 4th....an annual event....so I emailed Annie to see if she could find one for me and bring it tomorrow. That will be just in time to get it thawed. Must go feed the birds and critters...looks like the feeders are low. They have been out here all morning scrounging for food...they really are pigs!! But I love seeing them. Love and Prayers, m
