What
a great and glorious weekend it was here in the beautiful Pacific Northwest! Sunshine,
hot temperatures and blue skies! You should have been here.
Saturday
Began
with a 2 hour discipleship session with a dear friend
Breakfast
followed:
Two
over easy eggs
Two
strips of thick sliced pepper bacon
One
hash brown patty
8
oz. of Orange Juice
Next,
Irene and I took a stroll (in my power chair) to the Saturday Farmer’s Market
about 5 or 6 blocks away. It should have been called the Saturday Plant Market –
no vegetables and farm products in sight, but numerous flats of annuals and
such.
We
then loaded up the power chair and drove down to NE Portland (Broadway Avenue)
and met our daughter Sonja for lunch. We then walked Broadway for a number of
blocks going into the various stores.
We
got home about 6:00 PM and began watching The Iron Lady with Meryl Streep. I
fell asleep in the recliner about 20 minutes in. Irene woke me up at 830 to go
to bed. Ya, I know, I couldn’t believe it either
Sunday
Up
for devotions around 5:00 AM.
Breakfast
at 7:30 AM:
Sausage
biscuit – Jimmy Dean sausage patty, cheese, ham on toasted bread
8
oz. of OJ
Gathered
with the body at Grace Bible Fellowship – our 3rd visit there. Not
crazy about it, but nowhere to go in Kelso.
Message
from Colossians 2:8-15 – The Sufficiency of Christ
Daughter
Shannon and granddaughter Madilynn drove over from Vancouver, WA and we went to
Lake Sacajawea in the heart of Longivew. There we had a picnic of Subway, BBQ
Chips, and Soda. Walked (power-chaired) around the Lake on beautiful walkways,
enjoying the hottest day of the year in SW Washington. It hit 90 degrees, too
hot for me!
Drove
back home about 4:00 pm where we visited for a bit. Shannon and Madilynn took
off.
Popped
Moneyball in to VCR – loved the movie, very good! (3 or 4 BAD words) Then because we paid for two
days now via Redbox, we watched Iron Lady. I actually stayed awake. It was a good movie also. Thank you Red Box.
All
and all great weekend here in the
gorgeous Pacific Northwest!

Sounds like you had a great weekend, Gregg! Glad you're able to get out into the sunshine and spend time with your family. Happy Tuesday!
PS...Happy Birthday, Donna! ☺
Sounds like a great weekend, minus the heat. I don't know what kind of BBQ chips they have at Subway, but at Jersey Mike's they have Miss Vickie's smokehouse BBQ chips, and boy are they good. I'm not sure if they have Jersey Mike's where you are, but if they do, you should really check them out. Anyway, Moneyball is a great movie. I really wish I had more time for baseball.
