Where in the world did spring go?

We jumped from about 50 degrees to 96 degrees (10-35 C) in just a little more than 48 hrs. I call that missing out on spring. Sat. & Sun. it was hot an sticky out. Since I have been sitting in the AC of my office all day, I'm not sure what it is doing out there at this moment, but I think it is hot still.

Yesterday, was one of those non stop days. In the morning there was a baptism, where 6 people were baptised. That was awesome to see and so good to be reminded of the covenant I personally have made with God. For lunch all the young couples went to Silver Lake Park for a picnic. Everybody brought a bit of food and what a summer feast we had. : ) Grilled chicken quarters (They were fantastic Ben!), fruit and veggie platters, doritos, chocolate cake... yum... (actually, the choc cake wasn't too bad, which Kris took as a compliment from me seeing as I don't usually like choc cake. Except for Roshini's) Was really really hot, but a very nice time. Twas mine an Isaac's first "couples" event. Pretty cool it was. : ) Still kinda funny to think about though sometimes.

Later that evening, we went to Ang's National Honor Society induction ceremony at school where we met my freshman English teacher who I had 9 yrs ago an Isaac had for drama in middle school about 17 yrs ago. Hehe, she of course remembered him as well, (much to his amazement )and we had a good laugh at how long ago it was. After that, we went to the girls house where we finished off our day with a really nice evening with waffles and strawberries and of course the company of good friends. Thanks everybody for a really great day. P.S. Since I'm at work and don't have my pics with me, I will try to stick a few to go with this post on here a bit later. Hehe, see if that happens. Oh well, at least I wrote something right? : )

P.P.S After work now. Imagine that... I really did get some pics posted. : )

Awww, it was awesome to hear about your day! Mel sent me a couple of pictures from the picnic and it looked so nice! So cool about the baptism too! It's so strengthening to see people clinching the deal with God - this is it, no turning back. It is starting to get warm here too (warm meaning only a hoodie outdoors, and on occasion, short sleeves)! heehee. I don't regret missing out on the sticky stuff though! Yours, eagerly awaiting pics, Teresa

This looks really nice Maria, I wish we could be there as well. Yesterday evening I booked our tickets. We are coming on Sept 5th and will leave Sept 19th. We want to stay down at the beach 1 week and the rest of the time in Dover. Are not sure yet where to stay, but I am sure we will find out.
