January 16th - 22nd - Project 365

It is Saturday night and I have taken all my pictures for the week and cannot wait to share them with you.  We worked up at my mom's today so I am truly to tired to come up with something witty and bright on my own.  I hope you enjoy my week in pictures and if you get the chance go and check out Sara's.

Sunday

                                                

What a weekend we had.  Sunday we had church, ran home, let the dog out, grabbed a McDonald's burger, headed to Opelika to East Alabama Medical Center to check on Renee and her dad.  These trees are between Lafayette and Opelika and line Hwy 431.  They are gorgeous when they are blooming, have color, or are full of leaves.  I will make sure I get pictures of that during my 365 days.  After we left Opelika...we came back...let the dog out, went to funeral home for a viewing for Ms. Laura (a church member), grabbed a Subway and went home and crashed.  I was grateful that tomorrow was a holiday from school.

Monday

Monday is my bible study night in Alex City.  I usually spend the night with Mary.  This week we decided to do a Sip n Strokes party to kick off our bible study and what better way than painting a cross.  If you have never done this...you should!  It is great fun, quite relaxing, and we all had a great time.  Mary is the top picture.  Mary and Kathy are looking at Bonnie's real painting in picture two and Susan and Debbie are painting in the last two.  There were twelve of us there.  Mary went home and we hung her picture in her newly painted living room.  It was beautiful!  Both of us felt quite accomplished.

Tuesday

We eat lunch in my room everyday.  With only 22 minutes for the meal it is really difficult to get to the cafeteria....and besides it is a lot quieter in my room.  On Tuesday Trina, Trina's intern, and Samantha (Sam) were all that were there.  Nobody wanted me to snap them actually eating...so here is my bunch.  Don, Laura, and Kristen were not there to eat on Tuesday.  I will get them another day.

Wednesday

 I finally got around to hanging my picture on Weds.  I came home from work early with a terrible stomach issue.  I went to bed and slept most of the late afternoon.  Frank went to church and did Youth for me.  I woke up when he got home and we put the picture up.

Thursday

Thursday night is bowling night.  We went to see my mom, went to her house to get a cowboy for the Towler Farms sign.  It is one I made for my dad years ago.....and he never even put it up.  We went to Jakes for dinner.  The food was great.  Frank had hamburger steak and steamed veggies, I had chicken fingers and a twice baked potato.  It was so yummy.  Jakes is in a place where several restaurants have been...and not made it...but the owner...Jake...has such a great personality....I think he will definitely be successful.  I brought half of my dinner home and will have it tomorrow for lunch.  We didn't get home until after 1.  My mom fell and was taken to the ER in Alexander City.  I am just grateful we were already in town.  Friday is going to be a long day.

Friday



Friday night we ate at Gedneys.  It is a local Roanoke establishment.  The food is always good there.  Frank and Jessica (one of our church members who lives in our backyard) were cutting up....good thing I had my camera on hand for their shenanigans.  About halfway through dinner I felt every bit of energy I had been storing all day zapped out of me and I knew I had to find a bed quickly.

Saturday



Well...everything was going well until my sign for today.  No matter what I did I could not make it stand up right.  I have deleted, rotated, reuploaded, you name it....and it won't cooperate....so I am tired and want to go to bed....and here is my picture....NOT getting right....!  Have a blessed week!
