It's Monday and I'm ready for another week!


Hey there, party people. How are things? Did you do anything fun for St. Patrick's day? This has been a busy but productive weekend around here. Our church music director is away for a few weeks, so I have been covering for her. That meant planning music, playing the piano, singing, and working with the choir. It went well, but it was an exhausting Sunday morning! My in-laws were here this weekend visiting and helping us put ceiling fans into some of the bedrooms. I am very thankful that I married into a wonderful (and handy) family.

  4. The one thing I miss in our church is the choir... we have no director, some day I would like to see that change. I can imagine the bit of stress though!! Enjoy your week! Here is my Memes Post.

    1. That's a bummer - there is a lot of beautiful choir music out there. It's definitely a tough job, though!

  5. We had New England Boiled Dinner for St. Patty's Day...corned beef, cabbage, carrots, potatoes, onions, and rutabaga. Yummy. But, that's all the celebrating we did.

    Sounds like you had one busy Sunday. I have a handy guy too. He can fix almost anything. It really helps with the budget.

    I'm hoping to have a great reading week. It looks like you have one ahead of you. Enjoy The Hobbit.

    1. I have to say that I've never gotten into the whole corn beef and cabbage thing. Maybe it's because I'm not Irish?? I'm glad you enjoyed it though. :)

      I'm heading over to check out your books for this week.
