Mother's Day & Sisters Weekend

MOTHER'S DAY I was blessed to spend Mother's Day with my parents. I attended church with them in my childhood church and the church where Don and I were married. Then we went to Amana to eat out. The afternoon was spent walking mom's beautiful flower gardens, playing many games of sequence and enjoying time with my sister Judy when she arrived.

SISTERS WEEKEND Judy and I drove to Charles City to spend the weekend with our sister Jane. Jim and Jane were transferred to Charles City a year ago from Pella. Jim is the pastor of the United Methodist Church there.

We spent Saturday afternoon driving through the area to shop - antiques and flowers! Did you know that this area is FULL of Mennonite Greenhouses? Wow, we only got to 4 or 5 but we all found flowers to buy at each stop. Jane packed a picnic lunch for us so we had no need to take too much time with that.

Saturday evening we toured Charles City - the river and all of the wonderful areas around it. Sunday we attended church at Jim's church, had lunch together and then Judy & I started home. Fun weekend! I am so BLESSED with this family!
