St. Pat's Day

Well, we had a fairly boring week. My really good friend from high school, Mel, came and visited us Friday evening to Saturday morning. We cooked, did a bit of exploring at grandfather mountain and went to breakfast before she had to go. She is now in Raleigh on an accreditation board for a small christian school in the Raleigh area. It was fun and very windy up on the mountain! The bridge was definitely "singing" and it was windy enough that it made me a little sick to walk across it from the constant small motion.

Today though has been very low key. Chris had some technical difficulties at church he had to figure out so we were super late getting back this afternoon. Then A and I took a much needed nap. We also went to Lowes to look for green things to plant -- we are going to attempt a garden this summer and are trying to get an idea of how to get it all started. We will apparently have to start with seeds for the vegetables we are wanting, so hopefully they will germinate well. We also have minimal space that is full sun, so we're trying to figure out that conundrum.

Now we are supposedly ready for a new week. With Chris taking the past Thursday/Friday off (since it was Spring Break) it will be a "back in the swing of things" week or two before the Easter break and then the semester ends.

One of the many things we are getting help with these days is dishes. A loves to play in the bubbles and will even rinse a few dishes if she's being attentive. Here is a fun picture of the two of them working to get the dishes done. :)
