I had a wonderful day that started out at church and altar guild duty. Afterwards, one of my co-altar guild members invited me over to her home in Southdowns. She has a charming older home decorated with antiques and beautiful Native American pictures. She enjoys her yard and has a couple areas where she grows herbs and plenty of hummingbird feeders for the birds to feast on. We shared family stories, stories about work and so on while drinking Bloody Marys.
Next I went over to my Godson’s home. He was at his violin lesson, so I visited with his Dad and Grandmother.
It was nice to take time out to catch up with friends!
Check out this darling box I made for my Godson, Evan’s class!
