Olivia started her first day at McDonald's YESTERDAY!!! They called last week and told us she got the job! She's very excited. Yesterday was her first day but only for orientation. She begins training next week at a different McDonald's than where she will be working. That McD's is still under construction and will open in one month.
Michael is doing better with most of his teeth missing.
The Colonel will be home tonight and he's planning on finishing up the extension for the garden he started on Monday. I do have pictures to post, but will do them all at one time.
Last Thursday we went to see Olivia and the rest of our youth participate in the District Level for Fine Arts. Olivia did her short sermon!
Here are some pictures of our trip last week. I went with my mom and my good friend Olga; her daughter Sarah was also participating. Enjoy!
My mom, Olivia and I just before Olivia's turn...

Congrats to your dd on her job, and making it to district finals, if not nationals. It's good practice so she'll have a better chance next year☺
Hope your son's mouth is feeling better soon. I can't imagine having ten teeth pulled at once--ouch!
Lisa says
Congratulations to Olivia. If I lived closer, I would stop in and order lunch!
I hope your son is feeling better.

Lianne says
Congrats on the job! I will say a prayer for her since I have done the McDonald's thing, too. I was 16 years old, working until 11 on the weekends, and opening on Saturday and Sunday mornings at 5:30. They just about killed me. I hope things go great for Olivia!
Have a great weekend!
This Country Girl says
Yay for Olivia getting the job!
Is this the Fine Arts through The Assembly of God? My son's girlfriend has gone to Nationals a few times if it is!
I sure hope Michael is feeling better soon!

I remember the days of fine arts competition. Our girls did vocal, piano, trios and choral groups. They are using their talent for the Lord today.
I'm glad your lettering turned out well. Have you posted them?

I do hope Olivia likes her new job. I remember my first job many many years ago at Wendys. What a blast from the past. I do wish Michael well. I'll be praying for him.
Tell Olivia to keep pushing herself in her performing. God has big plans for that girl and she will go far.
Love the pictures of you and your mom. You are both very beautiful women.
Have a wonderful day my friend.
Blessings,
AMY

What a cute post! I am sure that Olivia will get the job!!! She, like her mother, is fabulous.
Thank you for your kind comments this morning. I got the lettuce cold frame online at Gardeners' Supply.
Email me if you have trouble finding it. I don't miss your PA weather.... I grew up in PA, you know.
Tell your husband to take it easy.

Roan says
You know, every day doesn't have to be "blog-worthy"! 🙂 In fact, most of my days are really just regular old days! But the everyday life is still interesting! I hope Micheal's mouth feels better today. 10 teeth! Wow! My 10yo son had 3 baby teeth pulled back in Nov. I remember that he felt badly for a couple of days.
Have a good weekend!
Karen says
What a beautiful (and busy) family! I pray for health and joy and peace for you and yours.

Sorry Michael is having a rough time!! That's got to be hard. Tell him this bloggy friend is praying for him.
That's so cool about Olivia!! My second job was at McDonalds in Austin Texas, and I loved it!! I was 18 and was the youngest one working there! Had a blast!!
Can't wait to see your finished garden. I'm sure I'll be "green"
