The Hunt for Weeping Angels II

      My friend Jen and I (the Nug's mother!) went on another angel search. Jen knew of a place that she thought might have a few, and oh boy was she right! I almost lept ouof the car when I saw the 1st one! Who would have thought it would be so exciting, like a treasure hunt!

 

 

The hunt for Weeping Angels!

     It was a beautiful October day yesterday, and I was wondering how to spend it, since I was not busy watching the baby boy I take care of during the week. My good friend Katy came up with a GREAT idea! Lets go Weeping Angel Hunting! We are both HUGE Dr Who fans, though Katy takes it to a whole new level!

     We went to four different Graveyards in four different towns. Here in Maine we have some of the oldest graveyards in the country, most of the graves were over 100 years old! In the 1st Graveyard we didn't find any angels, but we found a Pensive Lady!

     She was quite impressive. It i surprising how hard it is to fine sculptures of anything other than urns, so we were happy to see her!

      DONT BLINK!!!
     But, sadly, no wings! So we had to keep looking. We went to another, smaller graveyard, no angels, so we picked up Katy's son from Preschool and took him along to another one. He had a LOT of fun, it was like going to a large park with a bunch of stones:)

     Still no angels!!! We did find a creepy cool huge fountain covered in,,, Goats??? Weird!!

     So, we headed to the last, biggest and COOLEST graveyard, it was built on a hill in the Capitol. Once you got to the top, you could see for miles!

    Getting to the top of the hill mountain was no small feat! Above is a lovely photo of me panting like a great big panty thing!

 Katy and Darien made it to the top first, but then, they are more in shape,,,,, and being four helps, why walk when you can run, right!?!?!
    Finally, after a whole afternoon of searching,,, we found one!

    She was a beauty! Not exactly "weeping" but at least she had wings! (well, one wing, her other wing was broken, poor thing! )

    She was small, but she was lovely!

    Goodbye sweet little angel, we were SOOOO glad to have found you! What a wonderful way to spend an afternoon! We are probably going to go hunting again some time, as this was so much fun!

Wonderful Sunday

     I am having a wonderful day:)
     Its Superbowl Sunday! I don't watch football, but the Hubby does, we have another couple coming over, Jen and Harry. Harry is going to watch the game and Jen and I are going to work on knitting/crocheting. I have a frozen lasagna in the oven, baking up for an early dinner to be had with salad and garlic bread, MmmMmm! I also just made up a quick batch of chocolate chip cookies, for something sweet later:)

    We started the day out by going to church. We were really hoping that one of Poot's (that is what I call my Hubby) co-workers and his wife would be joining us today. I even rearranged Sunday School duty so that we would be able to sit with them, but they had to stay home and take care of the granbaby, poor little mite had a cold. We are really hoping that they will be able to make it next Sunday though. I think they will really enjoy it, and it would be WONDERFUL to have some friends get to know Christ, as of yet we have not been able to convince anyone else to come and see what our Church is like. I am hoping God will work on their hearts though, as I know that some of them would REALLY enjoy going.
    The sermon was great too, our pastor has been doing a series on character, and it is really speaking too my heart. I have also been reading Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis and I have been making progress on my own path with God. It is such a GREAT feeling! Our Pastor, bless him and his family, are going through a trying time. But because of this, I think he is closer to the Lord than ever, and that encourages and inspires me.
    Well, that about it, got to go entertain now!
    I hope you have had a wonderful Sunday yourself, God Bless!
