What a wonderful...weekend

Did anyone else have an above-average weekend?  We sure did here!!  The weather played a large role in making it so wonderful, but so did some great people and end-of-summer activities.  : )


After teaching lessons, Friday night was spent with my Bible study group for desserts and s'mores around the fire pit.  Such a beautiful evening weather-wise, and opportunity for some great conversation...and treats!


On Saturday, I subbed for a teacher at the studio, worked out for a bit at the Y, used coupons for an almost free lunch at Arby's, sat on bus stop benches while enjoying our Jamocha shakes, and went to see "Crazy, Stupid, Love" with my roomie.  If you haven't seen the trailer for the movie, watch it here.  It was sooooo good!  Of course, there may or may not have been an actor that enhanced the goodness of it, but the movie itself really was well done and enjoyable.  : )  Afterward, we came home, made a special housewarming gift for a few friends, and went to deliver it and hang out. 


Today, we went to church, then downtown to RibFest where the church's band was performing.  Got in some good sun time and enjoyed the music and food!  We also found out that there's a single women's Sunday school class starting next week.  Guess who'll be in attendance...these girls!


Now, it's time for some reading and nap, then the last Lincoln Municipal Band concert of the season.  Hope to see you all there!  : )


Thanks for reading,

♫ Summertime...

...and the livin' is easy. ♫


The livin' wasn't easy this week...which served as a reminder that summertime isn't here quite yet (as if the weather hadn't already made that clear).  It wasn't a bad week - just very busy.  


The bulk of my days were spent giving presentations about the student opportunities available through Arts Incorporated.  It's been interesting to see the different reactions of the various demographics found at the middle and high schools I've visited.  I'll be doing more of these this coming week - wohoo!


I've also been able to attend some graduation parties this week.  I love celebratory gatherings (weddings, graduations, showers, etc.).  They provide such a great opportunity to see lots of long-lost friends (and not-lost friends) and have good conversation...usually while eating good food.


Since you all are so good at following directions, I have enough material to write about for probably five more years...not!  I'm giving you another chance to give you input, ask questions, etc.  If I don't hear from you, I'll assume you don't really care what I write about and/or you aren't really reading what I've been writing.


I'll leave you with a short list of things I'm looking forward to this summer:
-a trip to Florida with some girlfriends!
-swimming outside/laying by the pool
-triannual family trip with my home church to Estes Park, CO
-sweet corn
-flip-flops
-tomatoes (esp. cherry ones)


Have a good one,
Kensy
