All that to say, yesterday rocked. I purchased a whole fat stack of books and can hardly wait to dive in. Plus next weekend we are headed for our no cars, no electricity, island vacation on the west side of the state. All I need is my swimming suit and my books.
We also got the party pictures back yesterday. Here are a few!
The Beisner boys were ready to play ball!
Brian with Dr. Beisner
Carrie and Nicci are chillin'.
The Grillmasters. Our Dads graciously agreed to do the honors. Many thanks!
Me and my Mom. Awww....
Susan snapped this shot of me, mid-sentence. Thanks, Sus. :) I got her back by taking a photo of her with food in her mouth, which I won't post here because I'm a good friend.
Kilby, Jordan, and Susan. I like this one!
And here are the All-Star teams: the Yankees and the Brian Lions.
We had a great time. The Lord is so gracious to us to bless us with so many friends.
Well, that's enough lazing around for now. I want to get some serious laundry and cooking done. It is so nice to be home and have time to do that. When will I learn to stop piling stuff on and just be content to diligently work on the little things that really matter? Maybe that is part of why God gave me this illness. To help me realize that yes, the world can keep turning without me. The Lord is very gentle and kind and so very wise! I'm reminded of Lucy in Narnia:
"Aslan, you're bigger."
"That is because you are older, little one," answered he.
"Not because you are?"
"I am not. But every year you grow, you will find me bigger."

Jordan, since when have you unreservedly recommended ANYTHING you've watched?
And the bit about the world going 'round... Did you post that for me?
The pics are awesome--can I see 'em all tomorrow night? The goofy one of you turned out not so bad--you look great even when acosted by a retarded friend. You're always smiling.
You know me too well. :)
I didn't post that stuff about the world turning without my help for you. I have my own version of control issues. :) But if the shoe fits...
I'll try to remember to bring the pictures to Knox Tuesday for you to see. Unless you won't be there? We had so much fun with y'all last night. Thanks for making it happen.
I didn't think the picture of me was terrible either or I would have had too much pride to post it. And you are a good friend, not a retarded one, FYI.
The shoe fits.
Yeah bring the pics. I'll be there and would really like to see them. I'm sitting at your computer right now filling in for Nicci. Let's just say it's been a BAD day.
I'm so glad last night worked out too. It was totally awesome.
Your good-'n'-retarded friend...
Sus
And a good time was had by all. Thank you for the party, sweetie!
