Good Memorial Day Weekend!

It was nice, although I was sad to miss visiting with both my family and Mike. I did get a chance to catch my breath, so that was a treat. Went to the beach both on Saturday and Monday. Yesterday I went to Figure 8 Island with Elizabeth who has a friend with a house right on the beach. It is a private island, so it was SUPER amazing. Huge white sandy beach, crystal clear water, sand dunes with the tall grass and wooden fences that are so classic North Carolina.

Got back to work today. It was a little heavy this morning. I visited an assisted living center with folks who live basically on hospital beds and aren't in good shape. It was tough to see so many elderly folks with pale skin and difficult mobility, but glad to see many young people working there. I went with two older gentlemen to visit around, along with an adorable Yorkshire Terrier named Gracie. She is a tiny little thing - about 4 pounds - and brought a lot of smiles to the folks. Makes me want a dog like that!

Turns out I will be going on a missions trip with the youth towards the end of June. Middle of Kentucky! Should be an adventure. Glad to do it as the woman who was supposed to go is having surgery. A little change of pace also!

Tonight Elizabeth and I are going out for fish tacos at the Spears' house! Should be nice!
