Busy busy busy
We had an eventful weekend!
Friday, Katherine (my sister-in-law) arrived for a weekend visit. She and David had stopped by Oklahoma Joe's for some BBQ for lunch, and it was hard to say what I was happier about: seeing Katherine or smelling the food. Both experiences were pretty exciting! David made steaks for dinner. We certainly ate well on Friday!
Saturday was jam-packed: Lesson, baby shower, dinner party. In the morning, I taught a group lesson. My first ever baby shower was held that afternoon at 2--I'll blog more about it and post pictures later. That was really fun, for me, anyway. Everyone was so thoughtful, and I hope everyone had a good time. Thanks Shauna! Finally, that evening we had a dinner party--our first in this house, and really the first one of more than one other couple since arriving in Kansas City, since our last house was far too small. Anyway, there were 7 of us--2 couples from St Pauls, and the three of us. David made his famous salmon and roast potatoes, and people brough creamed leeks, green beans and a banana cake. Lots of wine, too, but since I didn't get to drink any I basically ignored it. Just a bunch of sour grapes, anyway! One of the guests brought her Sacred Harp books, and we sang some of the songs. BIG fun, that. I loved every minute. David read some William Bronk, and then the party broke up. I think everyone had a good time; they were certainly well fed! =)
Sunday, I went to St Pauls for church for the first time in ages. I didn't sing in the choir; instead, I sat with Katherine. It was fun just to sit and listen and not to have to run anything. However, I had a hard time getting in and out of the pews! The choir sang Mendelssohn's "There Shall a Star" and Mozart's "Ave Verum" and did a FABULOUS job, and I'm not kidding. That could be a professional choir. St Pauls is blessed... too bad the congregation dosen't seem to realize it, since many of them were talking during the songs. Too bad, really. The sermon was also wonderful, about the Peace of God. I won't go into it, but it was extrememly moving.
So, that was my weekend. Katherine left around 2 with David--I was teaching. They went to theNelson and then to the Airport. I taught two lessons and put my feet up for the rest of the evening. A fun busy weekend. This morning, I slept till past 10, and that felt wonderful, too.
