- Activities, besides the normal, during the month of January: Ricky’s mom leaves at the beginning of the month after visiting for a week, in which we watched the LOTR and Hobbit trilogies; our friend R visits for four days (games!); my mom visits for several days; I acknowledged that my spiritual life with Jesus began 22 years ago (1/22); the H family of 10 from Israel (a Candle in the Window hospitality network family) visit overnight (and the kids LOVED it!); and, our Filipino neighbor had his 50th birthday party :)
- Our usual activities: We go to a small house church fellowship every weekend; we try to make homemade pizza and play board games together on the weekend; our housecleaner comes every other week; the kids go to a homeschool PE group every week; Ricky’s mom’s family has a short weekly Zoom session; a neighbor picks up our recycling each week; I usually have a friend come over to help every other week; the kids do Taekwondo taught by a neighbor every week; and, we do a Bible study with our neighbors every other week.
