...and No, I have not disappeared into the oblivion that is the Netherlands :) 2 weeks ago as we were coming home from church, I wasn't feeling all that great. We stopped to get something to eat, and as we were standing in line I told my Mom that I was not feeling good. Hmm.. It just went downhill from there! I got a cold/flu or something, and was quite out of it for over a week! I even had to miss choir practice 2 Thursdays ago :'( and I was very bummed that I did! It turned out to be a good thing though, since I was still running a fever- which lasted nearly 10 days by the way! And now I've been battling a cough, which is also quite annoying!
But hey, God is good, and I'm still here to attest to that :) We had a trip planned since before I got here in September, so we decided to still do that, since I was feeling better by last Sunday. We spent 4 days in Luxembourg and Germany- and loved it!
Saturday before we left, I had the WONDERFUL opportunity to see one of my former (She's not old!!) teachers from the 8th grade! She taught me in Togo at the British School of Lome in the '92-'93 school year, and I hadn't heard or seen from her until this summer when we reconnected on FaceBook of all places! So then we catch up to where we are and so on, and she tells me she's going to be in Amsterdam on Saturday, the 18th of October, and would I like to meet up with her and her Mom! SHOCKING, haha! I took my Mom with, and we met up with them for some lunch and tea, and had such a wonderful time! It was such a blessing to reconnect after all these years, what fun! The time was short (TOO short!) but fabulous nonetheless. Hugs to you Debbie, and Patricia too!!
Well, that is all for now. Got some stuff to do for tonight. Did I mention that today is my Mom's 60th birthday?? That's right, and she doesn't look close to that age, does she? :) I'm making her a surprise supper! Well, she knows I'm making it for her, but she doesn't know what I'm making- and I'm cooking up a doooooozy! Thankfully I have a helper, in the form of my Dad! Wahoo!
Hugs and Love to all :) Thanks for your messages, emails and prayers-they impact me more than you will ever know!
