Piano Playing & Baking in Silence

Today's 1st service at church went fairly well. Couple of minor stumbles, but nothing that was too noticeable. The big one was the closing song. I was ready, did the intro to "Awesome God" and when I went into the beginning of the chorus, no one, including the worship team, sang. Apparently, unbeknownst to me, the words weren't up on the big screen. So there was a bit of an awkward pause, but oh well. I didn't get fired. Oh, wait, I volunteered.

I went to church today by myself, as Richard, his dad & the boys went to Cabela's in Owatonna, MN. So it was wonderfully quiet when I got home, aside from the welcoming barks of the dogs. I got some lunch, unloaded the dishwasher and started baking for treats for Financial Peace University tonight. In total silence. Its wonderful. No music, no kids yelling, no TV blaring, nothing. Shhhh. Do you hear that? Yep. Silence.

Hope you have a wonderful Sunday and a great week!

I've been tagged! And it stops here.

I've been tagged by my awesome cousin, Nancy. I'm supposed to list 6 things that make me happy, then tag 6 bloggers that I know so they can do the same thing. But I don't know 6 bloggers. I mean, I probably do, but I don't know that they're bloggers. So here's my 6 things, and if you want to tag yourself, please feel free. :) Oh, and these are in no particular order.

1. Sleeping in. Which for me is past 6:30 am. My kids are ealy risers.

2. Schwan's Chocolate and Peanut Butter ice cream. Way, way better than Baskin Robbins. Schwan's has these little peanut butter cups as well as lots of peanut butter swirled into the chocolate ice cream. Yummy!

3. Date night with Richard. Doesn't happen often enough. We do have an awesome babysitter, though, for when we do go out.

4. The stillness of kids taking naps. Just being able to sit and relax for a little while in the middle of the day is refreshing.

5. Seeing my boys peacefully sleeping. I like to go into their room (they share) before I go to bed and re-tuck them into bed and give them kisses. Seeing their peaceful faces is so sweet!

6. Playing piano. Undisturbed. This doesn't happen often. I haven't done it much for the last 10 years or so, and now I'm trying to get back into it. Now, if I could just find a piano bench.....

There's my 6 favorite things. Please tag yourself if you want. :)
