K and I took the girls to Waffle House. The waffles were perfect.
Rained a little over 1.7″ last night. Lots of lightning and thunder. I was surprised it didn’t wake up the girls.
The girls and I worked hard on the monkey grass transplanting project. They helped me for about 1.5 hours and I worked another 4.0 hours. Pretty much got it done!
I watered it thoroughly after the transplant.
Hard to believe the project is about done. I’ve been working on it for four years. It really was a mammoth job. At least eighty hours. I’ll cut it with the weed whacker, like I do with the rest of the yard, but I’ll probably wait a year till I trim the new plants. I don’t mow anymore.
K hadn’t heard from her sister Ann in several days. She was afraid something drastic might have happened to her. We went to her house and sure enough she had fallen and couldn’t get to her phone. We called 911 and they helped her get up and then took her to the hospital.
I went with the girls to the Doggie Park. We actually got to play with a dog today too!
Not sure what this is.
I studied Spanish while I was there. Walked 1.92 miles.
We checked on the Lazy River pool but it wasn’t open until the Summer. We went back to Evergreen to swim.
We had a great lunch at El Torreros.
Came home to rest for an hour or so. Then went to Goodwill.
We were planning to see the laser show at Stone Mountain this evening, but they weren’t feeling that great and the weather app said it was supposed to drizzle.
Everly went with me to go to Kroger to pick up some medicine to help the feel better.

My forms finally got to my tax guys. They were two days late. I should get my money back on the overnight express promise. I’ve already gotten reimbursed once. It took five days last time.
Español!
My post for my new crown came out while I was drinking coffee this morning. That’s not zesty. I’ll call my dentist tomorrow after I pick up the grandgirls.
K and I went to Rockbridge BC for their Easter service. Pastor Bill preached. He is also the chairman of the board for Whirlwind Missions.
The choir sang a short cantata. I thought the sound track was a little too loud compared to the voices.
I followed along en Español.
I’ve enjoyed watching this.
I started Phase 3 of the Monkey Grass project in the front yard. I harvested a lot of the plants. Hopefully, Penelope and Everly will want to help me plant them. They’ll be spending a lot of time at my house this week since it’s their Spring Break.
I raked the leaf litter from the plants. Then I dug up the plants and cleaned the roots. Later, I put them in my Gorilla Cart and a five gallon bucket filled with water.
Once I cleared the area of plants, I raked leaf litter back over the soil. That will promote future plants.
I dug up plants for about three hours.
I’ll come in #6 this week in the finals of the tournament.
I applied for a refund for a charger I bought for Penelope’s Fire tablet. It was the wrong size. I got her the correct one the next day. I took the wrong one into UPS today.
I like these little violet wildflowers. They make a nice ground cover and are in all varieties of these blue to almost white.
I’m not sure what this species is. Looks like a type of grass but isn’t monkey grass.
I edited the video I shot this week for the team. It uploaded over night. I sent the Thank You letter which includes the links to the four galleries as well as the YouTube video.
I updated the form letter we use.
OYB!
Checked on renewing my Stone Mountain membership. Decided to wait until I go to the park with the girls.
I had a good talk Zeb and Evelyn Moss this morning. Zeb had a big impact on me over the years.
I was pleased to see my cherry blossom tree blooming.
Went to the UPS store to drop off the wrong charger.
Picked up some Thai food.
Beautiful weather.
Listened to Don Cheto.
Went to T Mobile to check on their plans. I’ve been using Mint Mobile which is about $30 a month per phone line. T-Mobile would cost me about $80.
I hope I get my $30 back for them not getting the package to my tax guys there on time. Deja vu.
Watered the transplanted monkey grass.
Research on when I can take my plants back outside.
Drizzled most of the day with some intermittent downpours.
OYB!
After I gave the team the briefing on Hinduism and Buddhism, I took them to eat at Pho 24.
Then on Safari to CD Tower.
Then to Azalea to work with the kids.
The made an edible tree for a craft. Pretzels, fruit loops and icing for glue.
Poured down. That’s why we met inside the mission rather than outside.
After we’d done the activities for the day, we played some Uno.
Went to my office to check the mail.
Listened to Don Cheto.
Good talk with my Mom.
Got gas and checked the fluids.
Picked up my groceries.
I received a packet of my taxes that had been done. It cost me a bit over $300 to get them done, but it’s WAY over my pay grade to figure out how to do them. I’ll send it back to them along with the check in Overnight Mail tomorrow.

I really enjoyed getting to know the folks from FBC Aberdeen, NC today. I didn’t realize that I had spoken at their church years ago because some dear friends of mine, Zeb and Evelyn Moss, went to church there. Zeb had a really big influence on me in studying media and going back to the mission field.
Piper Cordrey and Pat Barrington also joined our group. Amen.
Had a great time at the mission with the team.
We helped the kids with their homework after the Bible study.
Went to the office to check the mail. Processed the checks and deposited them.
Ordered groceries to pick up after work tomorrow.
Two of the packages I’ve been waiting on finally got here. The mail is running about three weeks long than normal.
