It all began Friday!
I was planning to write an On The Road Friday post.
My mom called to say " your dad will be having oral surgery on Tuesday"
My boys and I took some extra time to make something fun to mail to grandpa during his recovery.
The weather was lovely and a hike was calling to me.
Saturday I worked on expanding my flower gardens, planting spring bulbs, lilies and peony.
The next thing I know, Monday is here.
Our son Samuel will be starting his first part time job in the Sporting Goods of Farm and Fleet.
He is so excited.
My husband and I are too. It is fun to watch our children grow and get excited about new adventures.
With that came paper work and scheduling.
And a call from my husband that a friend of ours father died.
The next thing I know, it is Wednesday!
I am going to take the rest of the week off from blogging.
Have a blessed week my friends.

A first job for Samuel is exciting news! You are raising adventurous sons and I know he'll do great. Life surprises us at every turn and you're putting first things first, which is the way it should be. And looking ahead to your spring gardens!
ReplyDeleteOh Carla, I was sorry to hear about your friend's dad.
ReplyDeleteI do hope your own dad is recovering well and that your son likes his new job.
That bouquet is lovely, the colours just perfect for this season.
Have a good blogging break - see you on your return!
All the best Jan
Praying your Dad recovers very well and sorry about your friend's Dad.. Everyone is so busy and time flies these days, eh? Take care and have a great weekend. xo
ReplyDeleteCarla, I just got your Halloween card in the mail. Thank you for the kind words. I love getting surprises in the mail!
ReplyDeleteHappy Halloween! Hope you and the boys have a fun time. :)

What a week you have had. Looking forward to seeing all your lilies and peonies in bloom. Winter in Auckland is just not cold enough for me to be able to grow peonies, however they do grow well in other areas of NZ. Hope you had a lovely weekend.
ReplyDeleteCarla... it's amazing how quickly how a well planned week can turn upside down! The flowers are gorgeous. Enjoy your Halloween.
