MYIP: Week Thirty

Tuesday, July 24: Pasta dinner and good conversation with my friend Sarah.  We forgot to take a picture of the meal itself, so here's a shot of the dessert!  Talking to a school friend helped me start to feel back in the "school spirit" . . .

Wednesday, July 25: Blueberry picking again, this time with my parents.  Of course, both of them picked as children and are really good and much faster than I am.  The berries were still plentiful, though, and with some donations from Mom and Dad's buckets, I went home with over six pounds!

Thursday, July 26: Choir practice tonight!  Here's my favorite song that we sang: "Into the Night."

Friday, July 27: This salmon and vegetable salad by Jaclyn was super-delicious!  (I contributed a minorly notable blueberry pie.  It'll be better next time . . .)  It was great to catch up with her again after her trip to Israel and decision to go to Calvin in the Fall.  We finished the night of good times with Bride and Prejudice.  "Show me the way, take me to love!"

Saturday, July 28: Our second wedding of the summer was the celebration of Jana and Aaron.  Here the bride and groom eagerly run into the reception area.  The smiles are genuine, and the afternoon and evening were entirely enjoyable.  I made lots of notes about ideas for my own wedding!

 

Sunday, July 29: A day out at one of Michigan's many inland lakes with a friend of Eric's (Mike) and his family.  Here, Eric swims the "water boggan" back into shore after it snapped while he was riding.  Then, Mike's parents patiently tried MANY times to help me get up on water skis, but to no avail.  I sure plowed through a lot of water, though . . .

 

Monday, July 30: A shot of some of the books I tagged today at the library.  One of my favorite things to do during the summer is to volunteer at my city library, where I have helped out for almost 15 years now!  Whew, am I old or what?!  ;)  Instead of shelving kids' books this summer, I have been assigned to the adult section to help with RFID tagging.
