My weekend - Saturday

On Saturday, we had a very good oblate meeting.  Our leader and one of our fellow oblates are at a conference right now for all of the Benedictine Oblates in the country.  We've been getting daily reports of the news from that.  It was a good, quiet meeting.  We were in Chile for the last Chandler meeting, so it was good to go see everyone again - especially to tell them the good news of the genetics stuff...  We did kind of skirt around the house situation, though.

Laurie ran some errands while I napped after the meeting, and we have a new addition to our furniture.  We bought a beautiful reclaimed pine table with 6 chairs and Costco home.  It's a beautiful table that we looked at a little while ago and were torn on getting it.  It's a butterfly table, like the one that we have now but much bigger and prettier!  It should arrive in a few weeks - hopefully, we'll soon to have a new house to match!

After church, we went out with our usual Saturday night church dinner group and then went shopping.  We finally replaced our dead toaster oven (mostly because I keep burning my hands on the stove)!  We also got a very nice new pair of shoes at DSW.  A happy but busy day!
