We had praise team practice at Houserville in the evening, and when I left there I was planning to make a very quick trip to Giant for a few groceries. My phone rang, and it was Miki. They were driving somewhere in our area, but she wasn't sure where she was. Eventually I figured out that they were very close to the University Park airport, which is where the rental car was to be turned in, so we decided they would do that a while and I would pick them up there. Worked out just perfectly!
We came home and I put together some delicious BLT's, which we enjoyed as we sat around the table talking and catching up.
On Thursday I worked at the office just long enough to do all the copying and cutting, then I brought everything home and the girls helped me to get all the bulletins, inserts, and newsletters ready for delivery to the churches.
After a dinner of bbq'd pork chops, baked potatoes, and broccoli, Dick got to work on installing a radio into Jeremy's car (which Miki will be using while she's here in the States).
We girls went for a stroll through the arboretum. The weather could not have been more perfect! We had such a good time.
Cool additions to the children's area.
Look what Miki brought us from Sweden. Two layers of these!!
Today we'll be going to Anthony and Lori's and having a cookout there this evening. Tomorrow we'll hit the thrift stores. On Sunday Miki will sing with me at church, and then in the afternoon they will be heading to Lancaster County. Thank you, Bjorn, for sharing your mama with me for a few days!

What fun! I love seeing the two of you laughing together.
The arboretum looks so pretty! What city is it in?
The arboretum is right here in State College - part of Penn State's campus.
You must all be so happy to have Miki home again! I love her patriotic outfit. I also love your colloquialism "so we decided they would do that a while." I haven't heard the "a while" expression since I left PA. It took me back! How nice of Jeremy to let Miki use his car while she is here. I bet she is so excited to be home and can hardly wait to drive around and show her friend some familiar sites. You are so fortunate to have a beautiful arboretum in town. Those blue salvia are so beautiful!
Come on! Choosing two soups were not enough. I had to choose four to post my comment today. This is too hard. I must have another cup of coffee. :) Hee! Hee!
Cheryl!!! If I knew how to get rid of that "I'm not a robot" thing I WOULD!!! I'm so sorry!
So that's a PA thing - doing that a while??? I didn't even know it, hahaha!!
What a joyful time!! You are glowing in every picture you are in! Wish we could hear you sing together! The arboretum is lovely and your photos are wonderful!
