No, it’s not exactly a garage like it was used to in years past, but it’s home for the next several years, anyway. And yes, the surface covering seems to be doing the job, although you can still see some superficial tracks.  Nothing compared to the 2-3” ruts it was leaving in the grass, though!

But it is good busy, it really is.  But sometimes good busy gets mixed together with unexpected, unanticipated busy, and then things get hairy.

Okay, I have kept y’all in suspense long enough. Here is a rundown of what has been going on here at Breezy Point. Really exciting times.
First off, Sweet Girl has finished up Calvert’s Third Grade course. She has such a feeling of accomplishment. As has become a tradition here, we have displayed her artwork from Third Grade in our hallway.

Our church has experienced a recent period of rapid growth in visitors and as a result, the nursery has had a surge of babies and toddlers.  I am scheduled to serve during the Sunday School Breezy Point Momhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11946514159733131280noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3581925477632852910.post-69952863525767328822011-10-30T23:20:00.000-04:002011-10-30T23:21:37.842-04:00On MusicOctober 30, 2011 11:20 p.m. Music is going very well here, and also very busily. There is a lot on our musical plates.  Sweet Girl is involved in the Children’s Choristers group at our church.  Of course she had to miss an opportunity to sing with the group this evening because of a conflict with another activity … orchestra.  Orchestra has been going well, and the Breezy Point Momhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11946514159733131280noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3581925477632852910.post-37266167996618327452011-10-30T22:49:00.000-04:002011-10-30T22:50:56.258-04:00So BusyOctober 30, 2011 10:49 p.m. And my blog has become so neglected.
