...and I hope you did too. My friend Pat picked me up and we met four other friends at the Magic Wok restaurant for lunch. It was such fun, we all were loud and obnoxious and had such a good time. Just like women friends should be..LOL!! I was a good girl too and only ate a grilled chicken salad with my dressing of sweetener and plain vinegar. The chicken was cooked on a charcoal grill and it tasted soooo good.

After that, Pat took me to tour our new church facility. Out first service will be this Sunday Mother's Day and I'll get to go. I'd thought I'd have to miss it, but Pat said she'd pick me up if my kids weren't going.

The church is *beautiful* and just the right size. It's a lot bigger than our old church which held around 1500 people per service. We had four services there. This one holds around 2500 I think and there'll be three services, one being on Saturday night. I like the colors and the light oak woodwork and the stained glass windows are gorgeous and have a more modern design than one's of long ago. I *love* the old stained glass windows too, but these are also beautiful. Pat wheeled me all around in my wheelchair and we toured the entire building, including all three levels of the education wing.

The weather was perfect today too, in the low 80'sF and sunny and not humid. Gorgeous day!! It all made me feel happy, loved my day. :o)

I've been enjoying reading your posts too. Hope you've all enjoyed your day and are feeling well. Have a great weekend everyone.

Oh, one more thing...when Pat and I were pulling into the new church driveway, a ladybug landed on my arm. I had the car window open enjoying the beautiful day and I looked at my arm and there it was. So cute!! I let it stay there as long as it wanted to and it rode all the way with me til I had to get out of the car. Cute, cute, cute!! Of course I was thinking about all of you. :o)

Sweet dreams dear special friends...Hugs, Susie

Hugs,

Thanks for the ride, Susiebug! LOL! That was fun riding on your arm today! Don't I wish! I was talking to Kt this evening and telling her that I wish I had a magic wand to zap me up to get some of the lilacs that she was talking about in her post! Sounds like you have a beautiful new church to go to!

My DD3 Just called me and said that her BF is going to bring her down here to us, tomorrow night. and we will take her back home Sunday night! My youngest has to work Sat and Sun. so she can not make it this week end! I hope she will call me!

Maybe I could take my DD to the big park that I take my client to! There is big long pond with a wide sidewalk all around it! Maybe a mile all the way around it! I have not walked it yet! so do not know for sure! We will see how the weather is first! Glad that you got to get out today! and going to have your ride Sunday morn! I can almost see your smile from the way you talk! Hugs, SusieK
