Weekend Adventures

The weekend was full of adventures and fantastic fellowship. Saturday: Dani was with Amber and Charles had to work.
Saturday morning was peaceful and quiet except for the pandora sounds that were blasting from my speakers as I cleaned. Yes, I classified "cleaning" as peaceful.....it was.....I am told that I am somewhat "anal & OCDish" in regards to how I like to have things arranged. I am. It is comforting and this past Saturday morning I had the great pleasure of making my bathrooms sparkle, had the vacuum lines in my carpet just as I like, and erased the dust from my eclectic collection of objections to the sounds of Citizen Cope, Jack Johnson, The Roots, and Adele. It was BLISS. After my cleaning experience I prepared for a lunch date with my friend and mentor. We met at a quaint little Mexican restaurant in Lewisville. The cheese enchiladas were divine. The conversation was great and needed. After we said our parting goodbyes and "see-you-soons" I headed back to Dallas where Charles was waiting. We shopped and I found out that he had planned a surprise and a surprise it was.....

Sunday: A decent day at Church followed by a wonderful nap and dinner.....Oh, and Dani showed me a picture of "Luis"....her friend.....he's a cutie. Danielle and Amber had there own adventures that included dinners on restaurant row in Addison, boat houses, breakfast, ice cream and more. Those girls really do it up.....a couple of weekends ago it was helicopter rides over Dallas......

School starts Tuesday. So it will be more driving back-and-forth to Oklahoma. Charles is also the newest college student in the family...He is a proud Jaguar representing UNT-Dallas. His classes seem really interesting and I can't wait to explore his books.

What I'm looking forward to this week: Picking up supplies for the center, seeing my family, coffee with Ona, and moving one step closer to the PhD.

Miracles


Just yesterday I was having a conversation with Charles in regards to miracles. Charles asked me my thoughts on why "Biblical" type miracles didn't continue to happen in modern times. I was surprised that he felt this way. I told him that "Biblical" type miracles happen everyday; it's just the way we perceive them. We take things like feeding our family, the health of our Children (Dave & Dani), and simple things like being able to see at face-value; however, these are indeed miracles of Biblical proportion. To prove a point I made a gourmet dinner with dime-store ingredients. I had Mark 6:41 in mind....(And when he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided he among them all.) So, remember miracles happen everyday in every way. ~e~

Our Dinner


We decided we would prepare a simple dinner. We bought organic fresh green beans ( I prepared these with a light olive oil and vinegar marinade with sauteed red and yellow onions with tomatoes and green chilies. Charles prepared the tortellini. The tortellini was stuffed with a mixture of three cheeses and topped with a burgundy wine marinara sauce. Everything was delicious.

We have decided to eat more meatless dishes and organic foods. Wish us luck and send us your recipes!!!!!
