Day 29: Shopping/Grampaw

Monday morning, we took a nap, skyped our families, and worked on getting pictures organized from our Outreach, and the shopping list/menu made up.

Jordan & I are in charge of shopping and cooking this week for our dorm of 9 girls. First, we went to the McDo behind Victoria Mall, to give some stuff to Maria that she left on Sunday. Then, we went to Robinsons Bank to cash our food check in, before heading over to G-Mall.

Jordan & I had such a good time talking, sharing, and fellowshipping, that we didn't start grocery shopping for quite a few hours!!! Then, after we shopped, we ate dinner, & talked some more before coming home. It was such a blessing to get to have her to myself for a little while.....she's such a doll!!!!

It is my Grampaw's 80th birthday today..... tell you a little about my Grampaw:
Grampaw has spent his life for others. He has done much in the Music field, including conducting orchestras, teaching music and voice lessons of all sorts (including spending the last 4 years on teaching Rachel violin), starting music camps in AK, setting up a Music Scholarship program, and so much more.
He also spent many, many years as a Bush Pilot. He did much commuting for the Iditarod, and has built and fixed planes. He has built houses, hunted (evident by many mounts in their house), fished, done amazing sorts of carpentry, and is a world traveler. And that's only a glimpse of what he has done, and is still doing today!!!

Here are some of my favorite pictures of all of us:
