One: After swimming on Monday, my friend,
Teresa, and I went to Jonsrud Viewpoint in nearby Sandy, Oregon, to try to take some photos of Mt. Hood with our cell phones.
Two: Using the zoom on my cell phone I snapped this so that you could get a better look at the new snow on Mt. Hood. Mt. Hood had been hiding under valley rain clouds for days and I was hoping the mountain was collecting some snow, and it was!
Three: On the way home I stopped at a grocery store in Sandy, Oregon, and had to take some photos of the gorgeous trees in a nearby parking lot so that you can enjoy looking at them, too.
Four: After swimming on Wednesday I remembered to go out to our apple tree and pick some more apples before the next series of rain storms.
Five: A new rain storm rolled in today, but we braved the storm to go to the roller skating rink in Gresham so that my oldest daughter and her four oldest girls could skate with thankfully little falling. Most of my photos were blurry due to the girl's speed, but I managed to catch Joy happily still enough for a moment :)
My days have rolled by rapidly this week, with some crocheting and knitting and fiddling with a Featherweight sewing machine. I've gathered with several groups from church, done some reading in "The Writing on the Wall" by Elizabeth Mattox...a mystery set on Cape Cod in Massachusetts. I am working my way through a new to me Beth Moore Bible study, and I am asking the Lord for mercy and love for those in harms way around the world...trying to think of practical ways I can help...
Thanks to Amy, I am posting this on her
Love Made My Home, Five on Friday link, and I am looking forward to doing some blog reading to discover what is new with some of you.
Are you doing any skating through this season of your life?
