movie night at home (popcorn+ included)
attending church together
family walks

visiting recently opened shoppes in a nearby city(all in one huge building)
bowling
visiting family/ social activities with family members
game night

What ideas are you formulating for/with your family?

[Butterflyrose]

As part of our normal routine my daughters and I attended church as a family. We are "A family that prays together, stays together." It's spiritually enriching!

Then we we went to Victoria 's Secret. My younger daughter purchased some items. Afterwards, we stopped at Dicky's BBQ to pick up dinner. Shopping is a favorite activity of ours! We enjoy tasty meals too!

I will be going to my grandson's first birthday party on the 16th, my son and his family came this past weekend and we played board games, going to have my grandson for a couple days and will do things with him like painting things, going in the pool, playing UNO. He likes that game. My daugheter is thinking of coming and spending a week at the end of the month and we usually do things together. We will probably go to some yard sales, the farmers market.

Well its just my hubby and I. So far this past weekend we went blueberry picking together. i usually do that myself but he wanted to go. Hopefully we take a ride to the shore and the mountains to just get away.

Today my older daughter and I shopped in our city and then we traveled to a nearby city to shop. I found exactly what I was looking for!! We had FUN as usual!

I been wanting to go to the Goodwill and try to find some clothes to wear around the house. But I am still not to sure about driving especially in the town one is in. Plus I need some shoes I didn't realize that your feet shrink also when you loose weight. So now I don't have the slightest idea what size I wear now.

MeerKat, have FUN when you do go clothing and shoe shopping! It would be a great time to shop with friends and ask one of them to do the driving. What a fun day trip that would be!

Hi Susan! Thank you so much. I know caring for your husband is a mighty act of love.. God has equipped you and yes, He'll be with you always. Let God be your strength during this time in your life. I am so glad that God is once again in your life. Let the JOY of the Lord be your strength. You are so blessed to have your son to assist you. I will keep you, your husband and son in my prayers.(((Hugs)))

I thoroughly enjoy reading "Woman Thou Art Loosed! Holy Bible(New King James version). Very Clear and easy to understand. Another favorite of mine is Good News Bible(Today's English version). This one is easy to understand too! My old faithful is Holy Bible(King James version), it calls for much more understanding of the verbiage of the days of old. I memorize all scripture from this Bible.

As you know, when God's name is mentioned, I tune in. It's FUN learning about God, praising, worshipping, praying to Him and learning about and receiving what He has to offer us.
