This month Magan and Denise Vinsant have been teaching the JrSr High girls about being Godly women, and I think she has enjoyed it as much as all the girls. They have been talking about the different women leaders in the Bible, and helping the girls see these qualities in others. Also trying to get them to see those qualities in themselves. There have been a lot of activities connecting them to the other women in the congregation, and it has been wonderful.
Lots of pictures of Ruby at John and Shay's house with their girls. John and I had been trying to make that happen for months, and then we happened to be together at Sam and Noel's wedding, so we sent her home with them. I think they may have spoiled Ruby and let her do whatever she wanted...hibachi, bowling, and bracelet making! Ruby and Ellie are the best of buds, but I heard that Ruby gained a little tag along with Laney. I am so glad all these cousins are so close, and I know Ruby had a blast being the big sister for a few days. She also got to ride into work with John on the following Tuesday to work in my office until lunch. She immediately went to work organizing her bracelet beads, making Ms. Deidra some earrings, and wandering a little around the 4th floor, getting questioned by the infamous Rod Cude on her reasons for being at the office. Then we grabbed lunch at Tazikis with John, and she left all the fun of the weekend to go get the braces tightened.
Davis fulfilled his dream of installing the subwoofer this month after the $1000 gift cards arrived from his CocaCola grand prize. I am so scared when I see him down there, as usually the seats are completely removed, dash is completely removed, and that just gives me a panic attack. To him, it is just fun trying something new. And well, I can tell you by the the shaking of the entire house that the subwoofer is fully functional.
Ruby has done amazing with her Strawberrys and tomatoes, but when we got home from Dothan, it looked like the deer had gotten ahold of the tomatoes. So we did get one red tomato, and working on a second, but the deer destroyed that bush, so that may be all for those. On the strawberry side, it is going well with many many eaten, and now both bushes are spitting out berries.
And the last picture shows a funny story that Lisa told us happened while traveling to the beach. She stopped at a Target to grab a few items, looked to the next line over and saw Noel. She had stopped at the Prattville Target, and Noel happened to be out and about that day. So Lisa got to visit Sam and Noel's new home before making it down to the beach.
What else happened in the pictures below...I joined Davis and Granddad for lunch from Macs, finally getting the amazing burgers and fries him and Sam always told me about...Magan was able to join Katie and Granny for a visit at Aunt Carol's to see Haley's little cutie twins...Me and Davis staying for 2 hours at Mellow Mushroom hoping to win Singo Bingo...Push mowing my entire yard, when the riding mower died (fortunately just a spark plug, so up and going by end of month)...Too many crazy girl gatherings with Ruby and Belle...Card games ruling the table this month seemed to be sequence and Nines...Ruby was the only one of the Junkin Bunch crew to make it to the Big Kaboom this year (Yes, it was in June in Chelsea)...Davis at Six Flags with some college buddies...A Honduras work day at the church, those guys did amazing prepping all of the backgrounds for our skit in one day...And while Mothers Day probably get's a blogpost of its own, Fathers day is just some random pics, altho Magan did great this year with a snoopy hawaian shirt. I also got a Pickleball bag Davis picked out, and my normal Bottled cokes....Magan and the girls went to the Helena VBS this month, and brought me some of the best fritters I have ever eaten from Donut Joes.
