Worked my head off yesterday scrubbing down all the woodwork and screened area on our screened porch. I usually do that after the pollen dies down. The screens get this nice layer of powdery yellow on them. I scrubbed furniture and cushions etc. Even gave my plants that are out there a bath. Only problem is that today is now chilly and rainy...not exactly porch sitting weather and tomorrow I'll be on a bus for much of the day. Hmmmmm....maybe Monday I can enjoy my porch?? My kitties are out there now. They love it.

We had a nice picnic breakfast in the mountains this morning. This is a semi-annual event that my SS class does and we slipped it in this morning before the rains got here. We wore jeans and jackets because of the temps, but it was fun.

Tomorrow we leave right after church to take our Youth Choir to sing at Annual Conference. Our Conference Retreat Center is at Lake Junaluska in NC. Its an honor for them to be asked to sing there, but we have about a 2 hour bus trip ....activities in the afternoon, service in the evening (thats when they will sing) and then 2 hour trip back. We'll be back around 11:30 pm. I have a feeling with 60 young people it is not going to be a "calm" ride!! LOL!

Hope everyone is enjoying their Saturday.

Hugs,

Sooze

Deb,

We really use our porch a lot as it is usually quite pleasant. We have a ceiling fan out there and it is pretty much shaded all day with all the trees around so unless it is a really unusually hot day it is quite nice. Dh and I like to eat dinner out there too!

You have a good weekend too!

Hugs,

Sooze

Sooze, the porch sounds very nice, wish I had one. You'll have all summer to enjoy it. The trip with the kids sounds like alot of fun, maybe they can practice theire singing while you take a little nap? Have a good trip. Charlie

You are either bouncing on that bus or at the conference by now. I know you are having a great time. Lots of beautiful scenery where you are. I want to make a sort of morning room/screened area out of our front porch eventually. It would expand the kitchen, which is small but cozy. See you later, Soozie. Hugs

Sooze,

To me that bus trip sounds like fun. Hope you have a nice trip and great weather to boot.

Jealous of your breakfast in the mountains, I'm afraid. Love the mountains and that's the one thing we don't have here.

Hugs,

Rain

When I was a kid my grandparents had a front porch. We'd all sit out there in the evening and it seemed like the whole town walked by. They'd all stop to pass the time of day and you always found out what was happening in everyone's life. It seems like things are so different now.

I was surprised to hear where they found that terrorist in N.C. We were only about 15 miles from there when we visited Bald River Falls. It's amazing that he lived alone in the mountains for all those years.

I see by this post that you've been keeping yourself busy. Take care...... kaci
