BACK IN THE SADDLE AGAIN
We survived Potsdam's Parents Weekend. Actually we thrived! We have Rochester's and Oswego's coming up, and maybe we'll get some sort of badge when we're all done! Friday of course was rainy, and that cancelled a lot of our planned activities, like the fireworks and lightshow. But instead we opted to hang out with Nikki Intschert at her Clarkson dorm for awhile, and then travel back across town to SUNY Potsdam's Dexter's Coffee and Dessert Bar for some more fellowship and reminiscing. Dad and I just kind of listened while Rose , Mike and Nikki relieved some SHCS glory days and shared some of their first few week horror stories as well. When we dropped Nikki off she agreed to go out with us again on Sunday, so I think our date was successful!
Saturday we weren't allowed to awaken the Princess before 11, so we dawdled the morning away with Aunt Sherry and Co. where we were staying for the weekend. We had been awakened at 5:45 by a rooster crowing, and crowing, and crowing. I went downstairs at 7 to get away from the noise and Dad followed me to go get a little closer by confronting the little monster. After picking up Rose, we toured a little more of the campus and then settled on Pizza Hut downtown for lunch using coupons! We then went to the Christian Supply shop across the street, and shopped for some supplies of a Christian nature.
After picking up Mr. Michael, we then made our way to a 3 PM matinee showing at the Roxy of Just Like Heaven. A cute little film that really made me think. I cannot recommend films because we're not allowed to as Pastors or leaders here at DFF. You lose no matter what when you recommend things across the board. But I can say I really liked it a lot. It asked the question, "What happens if...?" The previous comment has been deleted due to giving away too much plot. It just opened this weekend. I'll save my insight for a while. So yeah, anyway I'd never seen Hollywood ask that question before. If you visit there, stay out of the bathrooms if at all possible. I think Bonnie and Clyde were killed in the Women's room.
Sunday was church day! It was great. I loved their Sunday School class, although I had to fight the urge to help Pastor Rick Sinclair teach what with all of my wise and wonderful insight going to waste in the back row. I was able to fight myself off from sharing though, only to get a phone call later that the point I was going to make would have really helped my sister's friend understand a struggle she was going through. Life's quizzes. When to shut up vs. when to speak up. We went home shortly afterwards, although we did enjoy a BBQ Fellowship time after church, and a delicious artichoke spinach dip shared at the Buells with the Wagoners on the way through Gouveneur. We got home and enjoyed the quiet for awhile.
Monday I was supposed to relax and recover, while dad worked at the land. I was so going to catch up on the laundry and housework. But somehow the school heard I was laying around, so they called me in to sub for the first time in 1 1/2 years at Sackets. I did ISS with a couple of John's classmates who picked the Beaver Camp Trip to work out Alpha Male Issues. It was nice being back in the saddle again. I could have worked there three days this week!
Now it's back to my real job. Loving it! I got to send out a couple of care packages today. Four actually! I love doing that! I sent some stuff to Nikki and Leeann, and a little something special to Tommy to kick off the celebration of his 21st birthday next Wednesday. Also to my sister and the CFC church to thank them for their ministry! It was a great weekend. AND I'm looking forward to this weekend, when I get to see Dootie (and his newly healed piggy toe) for the first time since August 12th! And Karen! :)
Later kids,

BREATHE ON ME NOW
KATHRYN SCOTT
WHEN MY SOUL HAS CRIED ITS TEARS
AND MY HEART BEGINS TO FAINT
WILL YOU DRAW NEAR WILL YOU MEET WITH ME
WHEN MY DAYS ARE FILLED WITH LONGING
AND MY SPIRIT GROANS AND WAITS
WILL YOU DRAW NEAR WILL YOU MEET WITH ME
I'M CALLING AND WAITING YOUR PRESENCE LORD IS LIFE TO ME
BREATHE ON ME NOW AS I BOW DOWN
I'M DESPERATE LORD FOR MORE OF YOU
COME SATISFY UNTIL I AM EVEN MORE IN NEED OF YOU
WHEN MY DREAMS HAVE BEEN FORGOTTEN AND MY HOPE BEGINS TO FADE
WILL YOU DRAW NEAR WILL YOU MEET WITH ME
WHEN MY DAYS ARE FILLED WITH SEARCHING AND MY STRENGTH HAS GIVEN WAY
WILL YOU DRAW NEAR WILL YOU MEET WITH ME

Can I ask you to change your description of that movie, specifically the question it asks? From what I've read, part of the enjoyment of the film comes from not knowing that question is being asked. You're giving away too much, and though my chance has been lost, perhaps we can save another.
And what, pray tell, are you sending to Tom???

If I told you I would be giving away his surprise. Call me and I will tell you. I'll go change it; I didn't expect anyone to go see it, since it's a chick flick!
