Thursday, June 11, 2015 ~ Jeremy and Laura's 10th Anniversary and the day after Orrin's birthday!

Good evening! We met Alan, Lisa and the boys in Granite Falls for supper last night, and by the time we got home I was too tired to post, so here it is!  The occasion was Orrin's birthday, and it was so nice to see them, and have a visit.  Nothing very exciting otherwise, yesterday just another normal day.

This morning it was kind of cool.  Teddy and I did take a walk, there are huge gravel trucks going by often, so every once in a while we would almost get blown off the road by the backdraft!  I really need to increase the distance we go each day, to get back to what we were doing last summer. 

I had read a recipe for cleaning bathtubs, so decided to try it today.  It's equal parts of cleaning vinegar (yes, there is such a thing, not regular vinegar but cleaning vinegar), heat the vinegar, add the blue (it has to be blue) dawn dishwashing soap, in spray bottle, shake well and spray in the tub.  Let set for an hour, and then rinse all the dirt away!  Well,it is a good cleaning solution, but not quite as easy as just rinsing away. I did use my sponge (I have a long handled one for just such use) to loosen the dirt, but didn't have to scrub.  So I would recommend it.  
I had also read a tip on using listerine to spray around deck or patio to keep mosquitoes away.  Well, Alan informed me that he checked Snopes, and that was not true.  Shucks!  Well, I guess everything you read online is not necessarily true.  :(

Tonight I had Ladies Bible Study, which for this summer we were meeting at Caribou Coffee Shop.  That was at 7:00.  I headed out, and on the way Kathy called and said her and her mother would be going too.  Well, I had already passed her turnoff, but was just at Tunerville, so she said they would meet me there.  I rode with them the rest of the way to Watertown.  There were 15 ladies tonight, which was a larger group than we'd had for the regular meetings. It was pleasant there, but not really great for that type of meeting.  It was noisier than you would expect, between the air conditioner and their coffee brewer thing.  I'm wondering if there wouldn't be a better choice?  Anyway, the important thing was the bible study, which was very enjoyable.  Everyone commented and exchanged thoughts, it just went well.  Several ladies that didn't make the morning meetings were able to come, so another opportunity for meeting and sharing God's love.  We'll only be meeting about once a month in the summer.

I put Teddy out when I got home, and came on here.  When I went out to get him in, he had his lead so wrapped around the patio set that I couldn't get it loose in the dark, so will have to do it in the morning.  Just let him in, though he was a little slow coming in, there was something out there he was interested in.

Oh, when we stopped at Tunerville on the way home, the little dog that the people had there was outside wallowing (yep, that was what it was) in the rain puddles.  He was going to be a mess, poor thing.

Hope your day was wonderful, Hugs, Orrin, Linda and Teddy

But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.  Romans 5:8
