I just found out that the big Chinese New Year is this Saturday! I have a team in town so it’s really great timing.

Brought the trash bins back up to the side of the house.

Went by Young World to pick up Kathy’s pillow and a library book.

Picked up food for J.

Went to the Post Office. K wrote twenty Thank You notes to our supporters. I got stamps for them and got the letters in the mail stream.

Went to the bank to deposit money. Actually walked up to an ATM. I hardly ever do that. I use the drive up ATMs. It feels safer to me.

K and I took the girls out to Waffle House.

Washed and dried J’s comforter. Brought detergent in a ziplock.

I got two new Spanish versions of the Bible to check out.

I also enjoy looking of the derivations of words.

I need to focus on these conjugations. I hear them all the time. Someone says or said something.

Worked with the kids at the mission. Took a break and went to see Penelope and Everly for gymnastics class.

Cleaned out the area behind the mission. The kids helped me take the stuff to the dumpster. Even now I think I should have kept that table.
