Sunday Songs

As always, it was good to see the girls today when we met up with them at church.

From the sounds of it the weekend was a good one at Aunties.  Like there was any doubt.

There was movies to watch, happy birthday pankcakes to eat, basketball to be played, owl pillows to be sewed, and even a mini cooking contest thrown in the mix.

D & E love to watch "Chopped" on the Food Network.  So, my sissy put together a mini cooking contest for the girls.  It's fun to hear what happens.  Sometimes the creations sound good, sometimes not so good.  

This time E & Auntie came up with a good BLT Wrap appetizer.  My nephew J called his appetizer, Azteca Ruins.  From the judges'(niece K) perspective, the BLT appetizer was the winner.   

For the dessert round, D & Auntie came up with some kind of mini cheesecake.  E & K made some kind of chocolate bar.  For the life of me I can't remember what they said they put in each.  I am not sure either was very good.  

But, they all claim that the chocolate bar was pretty good.  So, that apparently was the winner.  

Good thing Uncle D made chicken & dumplings for dinner.

I love hearing the flurry of stories that we are told by everyone when we get to church.  Good memories are being made by all.

Here are todays songs from church:

O Amazing

Come People of the Risen King

Indescribable

Blessed Redeemer

Fortress

One of my favorites from today was O Amazing.

here is a verion of O Amazing done by my nephew J and some of his friends.  J is all the way to the right playing guitar.

This afternoon I spent at my friend R's house.  Her sister, S is up visiting from Louisianna.  My other girlfriends--S, A, & J were there too. 

S(R's sister) was very busy re-upholestering R's dining room chairs.  We were all there to offer moral support.  

I loved watching R & S's rapport when working together.  It is strangely quite similar to my relationship with my sissy.  Let's just say that the relationship between younger & older sisters seems to be universal.   

I really wanted to see S's technique.  I have a few chairs that I am wanting to re-upholster myself.   I think I am now ready to get started on my own chairs.  What I have realized that I need is an electric staple gun.   

Can't wait to get started.
