This weekend was just what I needed. Putting aside all the plans and preparations for the office and my time in Japan, I went and spent a few days with some good friends in Maryland.

To sum up our weekend:

There were antics to get the Queen Bee out of her hive and to her suprise party!!














There was fellowship with one of my dearest sisters in the Lord and two of her precious girls, my assistant chefs.

Beautiful scenery














And constant entertainment with everything from dancing pockets, to "Rock, paper, HUMMINGBIRD!" and "Runny Babbit" from my very own recording artist Uncle Scope.














And don't forget..."The dentist always wins."

Thank you all for a wonderful, much needed break away from the busyness of life...for the late night talks and many laughs...I hope we don't have to wait another year before we all get together again.


Oh, and remember Abraham and Sarah, despite the circumstances surrounding us, take one day at a time and our dreams can come true, believe, the Lord is working even when we can't see it :)

I love you guys!!
