Teen Tech Center with Odds and Ends

View of Mt. Hood. It doesn't get old!

On Friday of spring break week, (OK, we didn't take a spring break but we did a few activities to make the week special) I took the teens (Autumn, Sierra, Kylee and Evan) to the Teen Tech Center at OMSI.

Since parents aren't allowed in the center, I enjoyed the evening walking along the river.

They have a great walking/biking bridge over the river right by the museum. It was a nice place to walk. :)

Tilikum Crossing

I hear ya, Fig. Mom's tired too. LOL!

My birthday burger and fries at Red Robin.

Didn't get to the weeding but first time mowing - so green!

Autumn got five inches cut off. She really needed it.

Ready for Sunday in their hats they made at a birthday party.

Nothing says spring like asparagus on the grill!

Sandals on clearance with a coupon for Summer!

Trying to hug the cat but she won't have it.

Putting down weed killer and fertilizer on the lawn. I just love when it gets nice enough to work outside. My grass is so green. :)

Hope you are all having a great week!

You May Abound In Hope

Today I completed a devotional book by Candace Cameron Bure. 100 Days of Joy and Strength. I was struggling last night. Darkness seemed to overwhelm me. The last day of this devotional gave me exactly the encouragement I needed to go another day. Here are the verses she shared from God's Word. "I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in His word I put my hope." Psalm 130:5 "We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;" II Corinthians 4:8-9 "As for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me.

Micah 7:7-8 "I remain confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord."...
