Enjoying the three day weekend!

Anna enjoying the sprinkler on Friday! It has been quite hot here!
I recently made some dinners at Dinner by Design, a place where you can make your meals ahead and then freeze them until you are ready. On Sunday we decided to try the Cornish Hen grilled on Cedar planks. Well, as you can see things did not work out so well for our Sunday dinner. We soaked the planks for 3 1/2 hours, but they still caught on fire. The directions told us to put the hens on the planks and then close the lid of the grill for 25-35 minutes. Dave decided to check on them after about 12 minutes and this what he found! So, our dinner consisted of cereal and chicken salad on crackers. :)
This is how we labored on Labor day! Dave spent a good part of his day trimming most of the bushes in our yard. This is the first time we have trimmed since they were planted. So needless to say we had a lot of trimming to do. Anna and I helped get everything bagged up at the end. We had 7 full bags at the end of the day.

I will end this note with a request for your prayers. My grandfather has been very sick for quite awhile. My dad called last night to say that he had taken a turn for the worse and it didn't look like he was going to make it through this. I ask that you would pray that God's will would be done and that my Grandpa would not suffer. Grandpa has served the Lord for a very long time and I know he will be thrilled to go home and sit at the feet of Jesus with my Grandma. I am thankful for their guidance in my walk with Christ they have always been an amazing example of His love.
