We had a fairly good Father's Day weekend this year. It was a busy and I wish I could have had a few more days to catch up on things at home instead of going back to work! Keeping our windows open to cool our house down at night sure brings in A LOT of dust.
Saturday was our women's yard sale at church to raise money for our retreat in October. It rained most of the morning and was windy but we still made about $750!!! That will help a lot to lower the cost of retreat for everyone so that hopefully more women can join us.
Saturday was also church for us because we were running the power-point for the music and sermon. So after the yard sale we got ready and headed out again. After church we hung out with some friends at Applebee's which was really fun. We haven't hung out with people after church in a long time!
Sunday morning I headed to church again while Chris stayed home to make dessert for our Father's Day BBQ later in the day at my parents house. That was our first Father's Day fail. We read the recipe incorrectly and bought condensed milk instead of evaporated milk. Instead of strawberry ice cream we had strawberry soup that was very very sweet. :( Tillamook Oregon Strawberry ice cream to the rescue. I was disappointed though because I bought fresh strawberries from the Farmers Market to use.
Second Father's Day fail was my gift. I planned on buying a cool wall hanging I saw at Hobby Lobby but failed to remember they are closed on Sunday and I was too rushed on Saturday after the yard sale to stop at get it. Yes that's me - shopping for Father's Day on Father's Day. Home Depot gift card to the rescue for that one!
We had a great afternoon at my parents house for a BBQ though. We had fun with family, good food, and lots of laughter. Pictures to come later this week.
Happy Tuesday!
