Hi there, my J-Land friends. This is about how my week has been. A smooth ride for a while and then a roller coaster. Up and down, back and forth, the ride of my life has been unpredictable.
We had a wonderful day the 4th of July. We barbecued out front for whoever showed up. We had 5 little girls who nearly drove us crazy, but who also reminded us of what joy there is in life.
Emotions have been running high for us this week as well. Kayla had more than one disappointment. We feel protective of her, so when someone disappoints, we get upset. rob got upset one way and I another. We spat our emotions at each other, forgetting that our goal was the same. We were uncomfortable for a couple of days.
We have filled our home with birds. We now have Button the Patagonian, Rembrandt the Black-capped Lory, Sunny Sky the African Ring-necked parakeet, Squirt the Green-cheeked Conure, and a breeding pair of cockatiels. I can't remember their names, but will get them today. Outside, we have 3 doves and a pigeon. We're going to need a bigger house and yard very soon!
I worked 4 days last week. Usually it's only 3, but someone was on vacation. I really noticed the difference. I missed the extra day at home and by Saturday, the day seemed to drag by. I could hardly wait for 6 pm. Today I am taking 5 little girls to the swimming pool. Fortunately, I don't have to do anything but swim some laps and then supervise my kids. I slept late and am going to bed early. I deserve it. It's my day off.
I pray that each and every one of you have a good day. Many blessings in Christ, Penny

I've heard more than one person say this past week was like a rollercoaster. Must be a theme. Hope yours will turn into a pleasant, slow, relaxing gondola ride. - Barbara
