The rain from the tropical depression made its way into middle Tennessee this weekend. We spent the day inside finishing up Sara's room. I cleaned the aquarium and fixed the leaky commode in the upstairs bathroom. Such fun!
Sunday was a busy, but fun, day. After church, Meg went to lunch with some friends and the rest of us went home for lunch. We took a few things to church for this week's VBS, then came back home for a going-away party across the street. Two families are moving, one to Montgomery, AL and the other to Michigan. The Montgomery friends left a few weeks ago, and the Michigan neighbors leave this week. The misty rain continued on during the party, but we just set up shop in the neighbor's garage. We stayed about an hour-and-a-half, then headed home to get ready for Sara's end-of-the-year softball party.
The team's sponsor had offered to have the party at his house. We'd never been to this part of Franklin (although it's only about 3 miles from our house), and we would have never known anything like that was back there. It was just behind the new Target shopping center on Columbia Pike. Unbelieveable. They own about 25 acres and it was beautiful. The house was very nice but unpretentious. We had the party out in what he called "the barn." It looked like a barn, but the bottom level was a garage that was about 40 x 25, and the upper lever was half horse stalls and half screened porch. The kids ran from the zip line to the tire swing to the trampoline for two solid hours. The adults stood around talking and eating. Most of these girls have played together for 3-4 years, so they know each other well and the parents have all gotten to know each other pretty well, also. Everyone had a great time.
Now we're back to Monday. The bride's parents are set to arrive in Nashville at around 7:30 tonight. VBS will keep the bride and the girls busy all week long. And my week should be pretty normal.....busy.....
