Dora:
Had our Easter
Thank Offering and David Livingstone centenary.
Offerings $32.86 ($770.60)
Note: David Livingstone was born March 19, 1813, and for those that don't know, he was a famous missionary to Africa who "discovered' the source of the Nile River. (My brother Matt tells us the Africans weren't surprised by this revelation in the least) Regardless, Dr. Livingstone was very famous and it sounds like the church was celebrating the centenary of his birth by taking up a special offering. Interestingly enough, people still celebrate his birth.
Sounds like Dora was satisfied that the Easter celebration that she helped plan and decorate for went well.

Cayla:
We had a lot to do today so Tarek and I divided and conquered. I took Maurice and Tarek took Ada (usually we reverse it, so this was fun). Maurice and I went and ordered a special cake for Ada's birthday this week. Then we went to Trader Joes (again-2nd time this week), then had lunch, then got gas, then got groceries. Ada totally wouldn't have lasted for all of that. It was fun to be with my boy today.
In the afternoon, Tarek finished working on the trees. I got Easter baskets ready while the kids were napping and boiled eggs.
When we came in from outside we colored Easter eggs with the kids, which went surprisingly well. Then dinner. Then bed. After the kids were in bed I made devilled eggs for tomorrow. (By the way, just a bit of curry powder in the mix makes those eggs just amazing!)
Ronda Yoder told me about your blog---she loves it! I found it interesting as well. I should find my grandma's notebooks and do the same thing some day!
ReplyDeleteWill look forward to reading your blog!
