2012 Olympics

Stayed up and watched the opening to the Olympics last night.  I thought it was awesome!  It was certainly different than last year's opening, but was every bit as good in its own way.  I can't even begin to fathom the imagination, work, and volunteerism that went into that event!  It was something like four hours long!!!  And I loved the opening with the Queen and James Bond!  Way cool.  She looks so stern, but I'll bet she had a ball doing that!  It's not everyday that a woman gets to be one of Bond's girls!!!!  I heard she may play Miss MoneyPenny in an upcoming remake...  :)

I saw several posts on Facebook complaining that the event was boring.  One person indicated she had plenty of time to pay her bills while watching.  I didn't even want to leave to go to the bathroom for fear that I'd miss a part of it.  Each to their own, I guess.

Worked reception at the MTEC today.  It was a slow day.  Took some sweet corn down to Brandon and the kids.  They'll love that!  Cooked some beets out of my garden.  Kids love those too!  In fact, there isn't much they don't like.  And, it seems as though I've got tons of cherry tomatoes.  The tray of four plants that I purchased said they were Best Boy (or something like that), certainly not the itty bitty ones, but that's what's appearing on those big, luscious plants out there!  Caleigh Lynn just inhales them though.  The others can take or leave them.  I have no problem popping them into my mouth like candy either!

Okay, think I need to hit the hay soon.  Tomorrow is the Lord's Day and I need to be up early for church.  Well, I'm not sure early is the right word, seeing as Sunday School doesn't start until 9:45 a.m.  But, we have a missions candidate and his family tomorrow ... several children, I believe.  I'll need to be extra prepared with things for them to do as I teach Junior Church during the Worship Service tomorrow.

Til we meet again,
