MCC and Sunny Days

 

Lanaya Liz has been working on a project. 

There is an old textile mill in New Braunfels, TX that she used to visit (with permission) to explore and take pictures of. I went in the first time with her. It freaked me out a little. But it was very interesting to see what was left behind. 

Anyway, she acquired from a reliable source some material that had been made at the mill, separated the threads and then embroidered these pictures and floor plans (of the mill). Her mind is pretty incredible.

Amos has a blog that is also pretty incredible. Go visit and enjoy!

Phoebe has been doing great at her job at Subway. They have her training someone for the first time. She has been recommended for a raise. The owner visited all his Subway stores, and Phoebe was working when he visited hers. He told her boss that hers was the best and cleanest Subway. So her boss was pretty proud of her and bought her a sandwich. :-) 

Phillip and I attended the Missouri Christian Convention for the first time in 20 years. The crowd was large, and we had so much fun talking to people we hadn't seen in forever. 

MCC was held at the Lodge of the Four Seasons. I liked their inside waterfall.

Jennifer B and her oldest son as well as I and my oldest son have been a team for our church's Trivia Night the last few years. We finally won this year! That golden head is the trophy we get to sign along with all the past winners. It was a fun time. Jen got us the prize though. There was a Major League Baseball category that had bonus points and she got 29/30 of those. 

We've had some sunny days ~ we are ready for more of those! Seems like it's been a colder winter this year. Not as much snow as last year, but colder.

The cats look like dark lumps of bread dough sitting out in the back yard catching some sunshine.

One of the kittens likes to balance on top of the front porch rocking chair and stare in the window at us. Probably accusingly because he thinks he needs to be fed that very instant.
