Fantastic Friday and "Virgil's Wedding"

I told you they were red poppies!!!poppy Ask Toma.100_2508 Ask Toma. :-)100_2512 Geraniums.  Always lovely.100_2514 You know these are Pansies.  The clothes pins?  Well, Toma says they keep the doves from trying to nest in the pansies.  So far, it's working.  Old Glory behind is a nice touch, don't you think?100_2515 Succulent of some kind... will have to take my computer back over to Toma's to get the names of these plants that I haven't a clue what they are, but I sure enjoy their beauty.100_2516 I do remember that Toma said this is a Candelabra Cacti those tiny little (definition of "tiny little" is very, very small) yellow things are it's flowers.candelabraCandelabra 

Wall art on Toma and Jim's park model. 100_2520 We love the Gambrel quails out here, but you knew that already.100_2521We had a little visitor today.  I haven't seen a jackrabbit in a long time before we came to Arizona.  We mostly have cottontail bunnies in Oklahoma.  This jackbunny wasn't very big... well except for his ears. :-)100_2524This afternoon, Don and I went to the church steering committee meeting.  Don has been to the other two meetings in January and February, but this was my first.  I was blessed.  After old business was discussed, Don shared with the committee about the phone call he got from our friend in this area, Tim Pruit.  This summer, the youth of Arizona will have the opportunity to go to a Christian Camp over in the Prescott area.  This state does not have an encampment like Falls Creek in Oklahoma, but there is a facility near Prescott that will be adequate for a youth camp.  The small towns near where we are, are quite depressed and it's unlikely that very many of the young people will be able to afford to go to the Christian Camp.  When Don presented this opportunity to provide scholarships to the steering committee, they were excited about helping the kids and made a motion to present it to the congregation at a service in the near future.  Several in the group testified to the help they had received in order to go to Christian Camp and the difference it made in their lives and they know that the church here will agree and want to get on board with this opportunity to help make a difference in a few lives.  What a blessing to be serving with a group of Christians who understand when God is at work and want to join that work.

Tonight, Don and I attended the comedy presented by Sunscape drama group, "Virgil's Wedding."  GH played the part of the preacher.100_2525

It was a fun night.  Here's Walter/Ellard, all scrubbed up as the Best Man, at the reception afterwards. Doesn't he look like Alfalfa?Walter Weins

 

We pray you were as blessed today as we were.
