Back to a Routine

I love it when routines are broken, and yet there is something comfortable about getting back into one. Here I am with my routine "early morning before school checking my blogs time". It looks like everyone was out of their routine as there was a shortage of blogging over the Easter break.

My Easter break was great! I got lots of things done (although by no means did I finish my list), got to see lots of people who are important to me, got to worship at some awesome services, and got to enjoy some incredible weather. The only thing that I would have liked to do and didn't was to take a trip. Maybe another time!

The outside of our home is looking pretty spiffy! Our new windows are installed, I painted the trim on the front porch. Tom worked up and planted some things in the garden, flowerbeds are cleaned out, yard rolled and lush and green, trees transplanted. The only big project not finished--we have a trench dug between our deck and our house where Tom suspects there's a leak in the pipe between the well and the house. Now that the trench is dug, we're not sure what to do next. I wonder how long the trench will be there before we figure that out!

It was fun to see all the Patterson clan at the shower--what a lot of stuff for a tiny baby! But fun! I also got to spend some time with my twin, Pat, and hear all about her "Sinister Minister" excitement. Spent a little time with Andy and parents, and quite a bit of time with kids and grandkids.

All in all it was a great Easter vacation! Now back to the routine--my first student will be here in 15 minutes! Blessings on your Monday routine!

My attempt to publish this at 7:15 am did not work. It is now 12:45 and I'm trying again -- so much for routine.

It did not publish again. It is now 9:00 p.m. and I will try once more.
