It's Sunday, the day of the Lord! It's just great to be in the house of the Lord today and worship Him in spirit and in truth. The Lord is pleased if we sing praises to Him and give Him thanks for all the great things that He has done. Without God this world and the people will not be in existence. He just spoke the word and all the things in this world came to existence and out of the dust God created man. So I want to shout and declare the goodness of the Lord. I wanna sing praises to His name. Halleluia! You are worthy to be praise O God. Great is thy faithfulness!

I was busy this morning handwashing some of my clothes and I had no time to cook. George got hungry so he cooked our lunch. He likes to experiment in cooking and he cooked potato stew (my first time to eat this) and macaroni with cream of chicken. I was surprised his recipes turned out good. Hmm... yummy. This afternoon, I cooked pinto beans and George baked Mexican corn bread. While I was cooking the pinto beans I checked my e-mail and my friendster page. I forgot all about the beans and it's good George was there or else my beans could have been burned. I did that a few times before, shhh...As I get older, my forgetter is getter better, LOL! Anyways, the mexican corn bread of George was the best corn bread that he has ever made. It really taste so good! And yes, my beans was superb too. George said I cooked good pinto beans. We're a good cooking team. Hurray!!!

I did most of the household chores today. This morning after I picked up squash flowers, string beans and tomatoes I cooked our lunch. Then I cleaned and washed the squash flowers, cut the string beans and put them on the freezer. After that I had to wash the dirty dishes that I wasn't able to do last night because I got lazy. While I was cooking I loaded the dirty clothes in the washer and took out the clothes from the dryer. Oh my, I had to fold them too and put in the cabinet. How I wish I'm in the Philippines now so I can have somebody to help me do all these chores. My hubby came home for lunch and we ate together. After he left for work I had to clean the house too. Then I had to cook the string beans for our supper and made some vegetable salad too. Geesh! I'm like a superwoman doing a lot of things. I just pray to God to give me more strength everyday so I can tackle my everyday tasks.

Last Monday we went to Six Flags Over Texas in Arlington together with the teenagers, kids and some adults in our church. My husband was not able to go because he has to work. We left at 7:00 AM and it was a two and half hour drive from Wichita Falls to Arlington. The park opens at 10:00 AM. I thought that there will not be a lot of people there because it's not a weekend but I was wrong. There were lots of people there. There were different kinds of rides there but I just chose to ride the smooth rides. I'm chicken when it comes to riding those thrilling and adventurous rides like the Superman, Coobrila and the roller coaster rides. Oh my! Just looking at those rides makes me feel dizzy and weak. I just rode the train rides and the boat ride. I enjoyed riding the Boomtown Depot train because I was able to have sight-seeing around some parts of the park. It was hot and humid at noon and in the afternoon (maybe the highest was mid 90's)but it's a good thing that they have those fans with mists all around the park and I like to stay near them when I feel hot. It made me feel better. After roaming around the park and had picture taking my feet became sore in the afternoon. So my friends and I just sat down across the Superman ride and watch the riders there. We left Six Flags at 9:30 PM and I got home about past 12 midnight. I really got tired because of too much walking and my husband said that I look darker now because of too much exposure in the sun. I really don't mind if my skin become darker as long as I have fun.

I woke up today and went to see my vegetable garden at the backyard. I was glad to see that my squash got lots of flowers and they're making a lot of squash now. I harvested a lot of tomatoes in my garden and also a bunch of string beans. My cucumbers have a lot of flowers and bear some cucumbers already. I harvested some okras and also a few of my lettuce. I gathered some bitter melon leaves a few times already. I water my veggies everyday and I am so happy to see them growing so green and providing me food on my table. I really enjoy gardening and it's a good theraphy for the body too.

My husband and I had a good time in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Even just for two days that we stayed there, we've seen a few of their tourists spots like Seven Falls, Garden of the Gods and Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. I can say that nature has it's best at Colorado with all the mountain views and cool weather there. The rocky mountains are so spectacular and all we can say is "What a view!" God is really so powerful to have created those rocky mountains, falls and other scenic views in Colorado. My husband and I would like to go back there again one of these days to explore more of the beauty of Colorado.
