Sept. 7th-15th, 2013  Rebecca Mattox visits us in Indiana

Well, we had a visitor here from my side of the family!  That is something that just practically never happens.  My mom visited; she had stopped by a few years ago for a really short visit so this was really different.  So, we didn't do our normal week or anything "normal" at all--except we still went to the library twice this week and went for walks around our neighborhood trail.  I wanted to give mom all my attention and focus on her completely.  It was interesting to hear about how things were going for her in her life and catch up a little. 

Sunday (9-7-13) was our LHE co-op Family Picnic/Get Together at the Avon Park and we all had a great time.  We were thankful for the Greene family for sitting with us and keeping us chatty.

On Thursday our LHE Co-op started back up and I taught my  new art class.  Dd had her new schedule.  She has a Puppetry Class---they will preform at the end of the semester to a song, I imagine.  Then she has a Gym class; and lastly she has a Catapult -- Storm the Castle class.  I'm helping to teach the catapult class too---and they built a catapult on the first class out of raw materials.  My friend, Julia brought cardboard, index cards, plastic spoons, rubber bands, paper clips, cardboard egg carton sections.....and they did it!  Very cool!

Thursday night we all went to work at the food pantry: The Giving Tree.

Sunday we went to the Plainfield Christian Church.  It had changed it's service a lot since the last time we had gone there--- I specifically chose that church b/c in the past you could go in and hear a wonderful, moving sermon and go out without much interaction--which I knew my mother would SO appreciate the limited interaction; and then *this* time they had incorporated a 'greet your neighbor' time and a 'form small circles, and say prayers together' time--which isn't what I thought my mother would like!!!  eek!  But, she took it all like a champ and didn't complain or walk out!  The sermon was on Honoring your parents; which was timely!
