This morning I returned from my workout to find this bunny munching on the grass in my front yard. If he keeps it up, perhaps I won’t have to mow this weekend.
I can’t think of a better birthday treat that to cavort around on Coronado Island in a surrey with my wife and two of our friends. And, that’s exactly what we did this past Monday.
They may look like they’re lying down on the job, but Deanna and Beth are actually testing out the new bunk beds that Chris and his crew built on Friday.
On Friday, we began the day with these goals: 1) Get the cabinets primed and painted. Plus, connect the plumbing and attend to other kitchen details. 2) Build two bunk beds. 3) Spend time praying for the women at the shelter. We worked hard through the day with several of us taking an afternoon break to visit with the women and pray for each individually. Around 8:30pm we reluctantly set aside some remaining minor details for the next group to attend to. We finished our work by cleaning the house and taking the second bunk bed up to the third story. There were many thanks and hugs as we placed each of the beds in their spots. There will be more stories to share, but for now I’ll end by saying it was a God blessed week of hard work, deepened relationships and experiencing God’s love in Tijuana, Mexico.

Today we attended two church services bringing our weekend total to three (perhaps we should consider changing denominations). This afternoon we dropped in at the Rosarito children’s home to grab some ice cream just as the high school group group from our church was leaving. Then we spent the afternoon cleaning out the dorms. We finished our evening by attending a small church on an adjacent hillside along with 30 or so children from the home.
On our way back to Tijuana, we stopped for ice cream at the beach, and I snapped the picture you see in this post. Now we’re headed off to bed looking forward to tomorrow’s full day of work.
Today we’re going to church followed by an afternoon in Rosarito at the children’s home. Here’s a shot of Mark catching some morning hoops before we head off.
It has been a busy week in the office as evidenced by my lack of attention to this blog. Since this afternoon is the first spare moment I’ve had all week, I thought I would treat you guys with a look at some storm cloud photos I took this past Monday night around 9pm (click on the photos to enlarge; use your arrow keys to cycle through):
Having heard about breakfast at The Gourmet’s Market, this past Saturday I decided it was time to give it a try. I looked through the menu for a few minutes and found it hard to decide. Then I looked up on the chalkboard behind the counter and saw the day’s special: Banana Berry Pancakes…They didn’t disappoint, and you can count me as another fan of breakfast at The Gourmet’s Market.
Is it Ben and Jerry or Michael and Bryan? Tonight Bryan and I stopped into Ben and Jerry’s for a little ice cream.
