We loaded up chairs and tables for our family gathering this Sunday.

Enjoyed eating at the Downwind restaurant at the Chamblee PKD airport.

K! Truck! A&P! Mission!

Tim A. Cummins @ 9:00 pm  

Enjoyed a fun brunch with Kathy this morning! Always great to spend time with her!

Met up with Ashley and Penelope at FBC Doraville. We took care of some business at the office and then went for lunch.

Then to Peachtree Pres to pick up some supplies that our team from Fellowship Bible Church had left us.
s

Fun time looking for Easter outfits for Penelope! Sure love that sweet bundle of goodness!
s
s
s

Also dropped by Plaza Fiesta. I’m still looking for a good outfit for The Show when we discuss Catholicism. Decided to order a pancho from Amazon.

Went to Azalea to work with the kids. We were given some books to give away!
s
s
s

Rained pretty hard. Good to clear that pollen in the air.
s
A red letter bad day for pollen is considered 1300. Today in Atlanta it was 2700! It was like a green fog enveloping the city!

Came home to pick up Kathy’s truck. Got the brake job done on that. GREAT to have that done! I was also able to pay off all of our credit card debt thanks to the inheritance left by Kathy’s parents. PTL!

Looking forward to watching TV with K.

Then work on admin duties and rest.

I have a day off tomorrow! Awesome! I’ll still go into Chamblee to check on the mission and pick up some chairs and tables for a family get together at our house.

Beautiful sunset!

DVD! Podcast! One Heart! Mission!

Tim A. Cummins @ 8:44 pm  

The pollen has really been thick. Fortunately, I haven’t had the headaches I’ve suffered with some years.
s

Finished editing the video I shot for Fellowship Bible Church.

Got it uploaded to YouTube.

Burned a DVD and got it in the mail.
s

Recorded a new podcast! WOOT!
s
It’s been about three weeks of silence due to sickness and working with the teams. GREAT to get behind the microphone!

I love this tasty episode called “Crumbs!” Even the smallest things can make a big difference. Just click on the title and GROOVE!

Got it uploaded and posted on Facebook.
s
s

Had a fun chat with my good friend from England, Anthony Jacquin. He’s like a brother to me. Always fab to talk with him.

Met up with Lindsey and Jack from One Heart for lunch! Always great!

Ashley, Penelope and I took them on a recon of Forest Vale. The reception from management was super positive. Always awesome!

Took Ashley and P to get their car detailed. Since they took Moogie back to the pound, I figured it was time for a thorough cleaning.
s

I sent the girls on home to spend time with their man.

Went on to Azalea to help the kids with the their homework. Packed out, but fortunately I got some of the older girls to help me. Always works out.
s
Met up with Kathy at our mechanic’s shop T&G. We are getting the Expedition’s brakes worked on. Glad we have the money to get that done.

We finally got Kathy’s inheritance from her folk’s estate. That money really came at the right time for us to pay off our dental and car bills. GREAT to be in the black again!!

Admin duties now and an early night. I’ve really been tired. But it’s a good, productive tired.

My car started to run really rough and my light saying I had low tire pressure came on. Never good.

Sure enough, I had a flat. Tried to blow it up with my air compressor. It only held air for about 2 minutes. Bahd luck.
s

Went to get my tire repaired. Only took about 30 minutes! Sadly, didn’t get to say goodbye to three of the teams. Just flat ran out of time. Get it?

Met up with Jesse and Kathy at Piccadilly to have supper. Extra good because Ashley and the Magnificent Baby also came.
s

Back home to rest. Too tired to even do my admin duties. Long days!
