On Wallin Pond

On Friday night Andy & I were invited to the Malliets' for dinner. They have been friends of ours now for quite a few years. Their youngest daughter will be getting married on 8/8/08 and Andy will be performing the marriage ceremony. They served grilled mahi mahi, grilled asparagus, grilled pineapple, potato salad, and peach cobbler. Yum! Then they taught us a new game: 5 Crowns. I'd like to look into getting that game. I won, by the way!

On Saturday morning, Andy had organized another bike trip with some people from church. They started from the church at 6:00 AM and were back by 8:15. I think they went about 35-40 miles. I didn't do anything so energetic, but went to a Ladies' Coffee Connection at a friend's house. There were about 6 other women there and we ate brunch, drank coffee and chatted about women stuff. It was quite enjoyable.

Andy spent the afternoon digging for the foundation of our new front porch. There has been some question about what our new front porch will look like. I really can't say, but I took some pictures of the drawings that will give an idea anyway.

A young friend of ours, Jeremiah, turned 30 this last week and his family had a surprise birthday party for him. We were invited, as were a number of other church families, so we had a good time of visiting and "hanging out."
The Day of Rest - ahhhh! After morning church, Andy and I had our usual omelet and waffle brunch, then I curled up on the couch with a book. However, that made me sleepy, so I went to bed and slept for an hour. We had a good thunder and lightning storm with over 1/2 inch of rain, so it was a good background for sleeping.

I don't know what I'll do the rest of the day. Any ideas?
