June 21

Well. That. Was. A. Long. Day.
It was Dorothy's birthday today. When I got up and made it downstairs, Sam was out so Dorothy and I had breakfast go ether. Just as we were scraping our bowls and wondering where he was, the door opened and in he walked with two giant orchids and...breakfast. Well of course on her birthday it would be terribly impolite to say no to anything, even a second breakfast. So I set out to help get it ready. I decorated the fany chocolate mousse cake with strawberries and what is it? Icing sugar or something. Then I helped to set the table in the parlour while the croissants warmed in the oven. Breakfast was lovely. We took photos and blew out candles and cut that cake. Let's just say that I was VERY full by the end! And I was glad when a walk along the beach was suggested.
It was a lovely walk. The breeze was chilly but the warm morning sunshine was delightful.
All too soon we had to go home to get ready for the afternoon program. There was actually a really good turnout for the program. I think, not including Firstlight people, there were nearly 40 people in attendance. That's pretty good for a Sunday afternoon health program.
It fell to my lot to babysit 10 or so kids but it was allot easier today due to my laptop and a big fat DVD case!
By the time we chatted, packed up, prayed and Josh and Dave dropped me off at my billet's home, I walked in the door at 9pm. I was so tired! I said a few words to my hosts and then hightailed it upstairs to bed.
And that's a short description of why it was such a big day for me!
