The congregation is a little lifeless. They have many more faith formation activities, though, so that is good. <br /><br />Dentistry probably always makes money. We just got back from our dentist today, finding out about the cost of braces for Jonathan. It's more than we thought it would be. What did you study in college? <br /><br />All the magnolias died. The dentist has the largest tree and his was dead also. We don't have a hose that could spray that far (the magnolia is at the other side of the yard), but I have heard of spraying strawberries when a frost threatens. It was such a sad sight this morning, driving through our little village! I saw your magnolia pictures, so pretty. I don't know "Grandma's Garden." Is it a picture book?Evahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831448349166435125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-287923374500556606.post-51643255155910083012012-03-26T23:37:22.992-04:002012-03-26T23:37:22.992-04:00i'm sorry about your church. i know you will m...i'm sorry about your church. i know you will miss it. i hope your new church will eventually bring you just as much joy and love. i remember changing churches when i was a child. it took awhile for me to grow accustomed to the new church, but i remember many wonderful times there and it did eventually became a special place.<br /><br />too funny about peter and the plumbing. it's so true!!! i keep thinking i should have studied dentistry in college :P<br /><br />let me know how it goes with your magnolia tree! it'll be interesting to see how it copes . . could you spray it with water? like grandma does in _grandma's garden_, by elaine moore? i always wondered if that would work (she sprays it with the hose before a late frost to protect some buds or fruit that were coming out on a tree in her garden).dorinalouisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14997381262511104320noreply@blogger.com
