I love spring for so many reasons....but mainly because the Genesee Country Village and Museum opens!! This year Hannah and I will be volunteering there! YEA! For a few days a month we get to dress in 1800's dresses and step back in time. I'm BEYOND thrilled to do this.
Lesson learned this past few days...
Things are going to go wrong...it's a part of life. God uses these things to shape us into the person He wants us to be. A few weeks ago our son made a very costly mistake. He shot a BB through our sliding glass door. (don't lecture me about guns please!) I heard a "POP" then a sound that I thought was hail falling outside. I looked at the door and realized it was not that at all. I then saw Andrew standing at the end of the deck with the horrified look on his face. He came around to the front door and said take this please, handing over his gun. He showed extreme remourse for what he had done. Anyway, we went and bought a new sliding glass door. I was pretty happy about getting a new door since it needed to be replaced anyway. So my Dad came over and was spending the day Saturday to help my husband install it. It took them only a half an hour to get the old one out. YEA! Then they opened the new door from the package and realized it was 2 feet too long!! UGH! The box was marked wrong. So we loaded it back up in the truck and headed back to the store. Now remember we had a huge hole in the side of our home...AND it started snowing. ONLY in NY!! LOL! HAHA! Get to the store get the new door and started the truck when the manager came running out....wait we put the wrong door in your truck again. YOUR kidding me!! So they unloaded yet another door and put in a new one. Off we went. Snow changed over to rain...PERFECT!! HAHA~yes I was laughing. We get back unload the door again, unpackage it...my Dad looks at us and said...It's not the right one. This one opens to the left you need a right handed one. I said at this point I'm NOT driving back to the store again. Just put it in we will rearrange the kitchen. HAHAHAH! All I could do was laugh, and laugh I did. Uncontrolably!! Hubby and my Dad thought I had completely lost it. Andrew kept appologizing the whole day for what he had done.
On my mind...
meeting with my doctor tomorrow to discuss my ultrasound results. I do know I have gallstones.
Devotionals, Scripture Reading, Key Verses...
Hebrews 4:16
"Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need."

Have fun at the history museum. My children and I would love to volunteer and dress up if we knew of one nearby.
We've have similar problems to your sliding glass door troubles with parts renovating our old double wide. Sometimes you have to laugh or you'd end up in tears.
I'm sorry about all the stuff with your sliding door! And I pray your doctor appointment goes well.
Have a great week! :)
