Churches and Wildflowers...

Hello again! As you very well know, (or should very well know) Mother's Day was yesterday. First, I went to PGCC, since that's where I always go for Sunday school and I wasn't going to be able to stay for service. Then my family came and picked me up and we all went to Gregory Memorial. What a joy. Not! I mean, yes, overall, they are not a bad church. And maybe old people who can't stand any noise at all think it's just the loveliest church they've ever been to. However, I think I'll stick with the funny pastor, the giggling youth group, the chattering toddlers, and the singing congregation that I have come to know and love. In fact, if I have any choice at all in the matter, I am never leaving that church. I want to stay there for the rest of my life and raise my children in that church. But that's kind of skipping off the subject.

Anyway, after that, my family(along with my Grandma) went to Tripps. This is a really nice restaurant that served fresh bread with some kind of olive oil dip and poppy seed muffins with honey butter...haha...and that was just the appetizer. I won't go into detail on the whole meal, though. When we finished our meal, we drove home. I'm guessing we took my Grandma back to her house and then went home, but I wouldn't know, because I was in a semi-coma in the back seat until we got back home. Then I went in my room and fell asleep some more. Haha. When I woke up, it was cool outside and just right for going for a long walk. So I walked through my neighborhood, singing "The Best Day" by Taylor Swift the whole while. Then I went down Merchant's Hope where I found a couple patches of wildflowers. They were little, but if I had a lot of them they were very pretty. I kept walking until I had found about six different types of flowers. White, yellow, purple, pink, you name it. I gathered them all up and walked back home. When I got home, I put the flowers in a vase and set the vase on my mom's nightstand. She thanked me and I gave her a hug and told her that I loved her and she told me the same. I went to bed yesterday with a smile on my face and I woke up happy. Definitely a good day!
