Week in Review

We went to Disney World Monday with Tami and her friends Virginia and Shannon. Shannon wasn't feeling well, though, so we took him back to their hotel after our stint at the Magic Kingdom. From there, we went to Epcot and spent the rest of the day. We dined at the Coral Reef Restaurant in The Seas pavilion. Our table was right next to the glass of the huge salt water aquarium and green sea turtles, sharks and other denizens of the deep watched as we ate. Every table has a view of the aquarium which makes up one whole wall of the cafe, but we were actually touching the glass! The only thing that would have made the day better was if Athena could have been with us. She is a working lady, however and this was a Monday. Oh well.

I don't really remember Tuesday and Wednesday except for "Back Yard" at our church that evening. I'm always blessed to be around our church family. I can never understand folks who claim to be Christians yet don't go to church and don't enjoy being with other believers. Sure, folks at church are not perfect and some can be downright nasty at times, but we're called to love one another anyway, warts and all! If we don't enjoy fellowship here on earth, how will we ever be happy with these folks for all eternity? 

Last night, Tami and Virginia joined us at Wolfgang Puck's restaurant. The food was great, but the crowd included a large party of very loud (and mostly drunk) people. It was so loud that even Richard was uncomfortable with it. After our meal, we all walked around Downtown Disney and Pleasure Island before going to La Nouba, the Cirque Du Soliel show. Wow! I had seen it before, but I was nonetheless spellbound. The performance was over the top and I won't even try to describe it. I'll merely say, GO if you get a chance! You've really never seen anything like this.

We had coffee after the show and then headed home, tired and overstimulated from the noisy meal, the excitement of the visit and the nonstop amazement of the show. It was great to spend so much time with Tami on Monday and yesterday. I wish we could see her and our other family more often. At least living in the Orlando area, we see some of them when they come for conventions, etc.

I have been working on digging out from under a mountain of paper. I have kept paperwork for years and we are buried in it. It will take a while, but I will keep at it until I get what we really need to keep organized and the rest dumped. Then I'll tackle the photos. If I get those two things done in the next two months, I'll feel like I really accomplished something!
