Kathy and I picked up Ashley in Clarkston this morning, then went to One Heart Church.

Always good to see friends!

Ashley and I spoke to the K-5 grade class. Let me tell you my friends, if you can keep THAT group with you for an hour, you’ve done something.

The kids were great and Ashley was her usual high powered, awesome self!

At the end, I had them pass around the baton and say, “It’s up to me!” It’s always a powerful moment. Even with little kids.

We give all the kids balloons and then let them take a picture in the “Sublime Blue Mariachi” hat. It’s a beautiful thing.

I taught a few people how to make balloons.

We had a nice lunch together as the missions committee talked to people interested in going on a mission trip.

Came home and had a good rest.

K and I enjoyed watching Tomb Raider.

She was super tired because she didn’t sleep well last night and we had to get up and get going pretty early this morning. So she went on to sleep. I was hungry, so went to Hardees to get a burger. I’ve been eating this Texas BBQ Burgers. They have slices of fried onions and jalapenos and a nice, tangy BBQ sauce. Veddy, veddy beautiful.

When I got there, Bruce and Karen Miller were ordering. They are two of my favorite people from FBC Mountain Park. Their youngest daughter and Jesse had classes together. It was fun to catch up with them.

Finishing up admin duties.

I plan on writing and producing my newsletter tomorrow morning.

On Saturday I worked around the house. Paid bills.

I enjoyed a fun day with Jesse!

We ate lunch together.

While I was in the area, I shot the first of a series of pictures about the current remodel of what used to be the Toyota dealership.

J and I enjoyed the second full day of the NCG Theater opening.

It’s in the Walmart shopping center off of 78 and Rockbridge. HIGHLY recommend the theater.

Amazing sound quality, full size RECLINER (what!?) seats, state of the art projection and screens! An absolutely amazing change. The manager told me they completely gutted the entire building and brought in everything new. Seats, carpet . . everything.

We watched John Wick which is Keanu Reeves newest picture. If you like shoot ’em ups, you’ll love this. This movie is a far away from a chick flick as is humanly possible. I thought it was terrific.

K and I watched a Biography channel coverage of Angelina Jolie. She’s a huge fan.

I had an early night. Getting up early on Sunday to be at One Heart Church by 9:15am.

Beauty hibiscus.
