Friday
Dear Elsie
Today was another day that was cold and wet. While the wind wasn’t as strong and rain as forceful, the showers that rolled by continue to contribute to the floods. This weekend, another cold front is expected so it’s not over yet. So far the City has had a lot of rain in July.
After work, I took a walk to buy fish and chips for dinner. On the way home, I went via the beach – this is a rare sight at this storm water drain. It’s the one closest to the restaurant and has seldom got water coming out of it, let alone a waterfall.
Meanwhile, my tale of two tables involves an old one and one that is yet to be. My dear friends the Beales had a collapsible table which they had on their patio. Many a Thursday lunchtime, I sat around this table with Aunty Wyn. I was in my 30s and Aunty Wyn was a great mentor. When they went overseas, they were selling off the contents of their home and asked me if I wanted the table. It has been with us ever since. With the rainy weather, Courage made a project of sprucing it up. Ideal indoor project.
It’s now in our lounge while Granny’s table is in the loft. Meanwhile, today, Mike went to pick up the wood for the new dining room table he is planning on making for us. It is blackwood and beautiful!
He will probably start working on that exciting new project next week. I’m so looking forward to watching it be created.
It’s been a good week.
Psalm 9:18
God will never forget the needy; the hope of the afflicted will never perish.
It’s not about now – we are only passing through.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
Gran xx 🙂
