Day 28: After having given up ice cream
as one of my sacrifices during Lent, I promptly dug into this new flavor from
Ben and Jerry’s after attending the Easter Vigil mass. YUM!
Day 30:
Today’s happy moment came just
before making the trip back to NC. On a
whim, I drove by our old house. I like
the star the new owners put above the mailbox.
It was also exciting to think that the next time I will see my parents’
home will be when I come to stay for part of the summer three weeks from today!
Upon my return to NC Monday
night, I had the chance to do “special days” one last time with my three older
niece and nephews. I sure am going to
miss being a part of their daily lives and seeing them all the time…even when
little Miss Mason insists on dressing herself.
;)
What a surprise to go to work and
see some of our posters hanging up on the wall in our office.
Who singlehandedly moved the
two-seat loveseat from the bonus room on the second floor to the first floor,
then out onto the porch, down a few stairs, and lugged it to the end of the
loooong driveway to the road? This
girl! The happy moment was even more
happy after I finally found a junk removal company who came and picked up the
loveseat when I discovered the trash company did not collect it! I HIGHLY recommend Triad Junk Removal…they
were prompt, polite, and gave me a GREAT discounted rate!
Day 34:
I participated in my last Friday
night adoration hour with my church friends tonight. This chapel has been a place of quiet
contempletitude and prayer during my time in NC and has been a terrific place
to “be still”.
Day 35:
Today, we went hiking at Pilot
Mountain. The weather was perfect for
hiking and our picnic lunch we ate after working up an appetite!

Day 38:
Dusty Shamrock and I took one
last walk at the park we loved going to while living down here in NC. The small pavilion structure is where I did
much of my coding for my dissertation and the occasional writing on my laptop
when I needed a change of scenery. Had
there been a plug outlet in that pavilion, I’m sure I would have spent many
more hours writing there! I’m going to
miss this view while working with Dusty at my feet!
Today is Braden’s third birthday
but this silly boy makes me happy every day!
I don’t know which I’m more
excited about today: seeing a cherished
friend, traveling to a new city, or seeing my sweetie in FOUR short days! Can’t wait to explore Denver with Doris &
Adam!!
