Robinson Ramblings

This little birdie is here to say, "Happy Sunday! This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it." Tomorrow I start my three weeks of training at Citi. It is a little daunting to be starting a new job. I am grateful for God's direction, leading, and strength!!

Henry loves to watch planes and helicopters. After a helicopter disappeared behind a house, he asked me, " Where did the helicop go? I don't know! He went WAY up high! Buh, buh, buh, buh!" (sound of the helicopter in the sky accompanied with a hand flying up high) He likes to ask & answer his own questions. Recently he has been saying " I don't know! I don't know eider ." I think his says this because when he says "I don't know" one of the adults in his life says, "I don't know either." So of course, he beats us to the punch & says the line for us! He loves the elderly man across the street from our house. He always waves at him and says, "Hi, John! How ya doin' dude!"

HAPPY SPRING! Today is sunny and beautiful even though it is a little windy. Ferguson and I are going to take a nice long walk!! I will be in training classes for the next three weeks (during the day) so I need to get my walks in while I can. I will continue teaching my piano students, so each day when I get home I'll be tied up for a couple of hours. After three weeks of training, I'll start my new schedule M - W 12:30 to 9:00, Fri. 12:30 to 9:00, and Sat. 8:30-5:00 (Sundays & Thurs. off). It will take some adjusting to this new scedule! However, it will be nice for Rich & I have mornings off together. Rich works Mon. - Thurs. 1:30-10:00 and Sat. 7:30-4:00. He has Sundays & Fridays off. I am still waiting to hear about the preschool position. They are still interviewing candidates! I guess there were many, many applicants for one full time and two part time positions. I am praying that I'll be content with whatever the outcome happens to be. I told the prin...

I am so thankful for Easter - the day that we celebrate Jesus' resurrection from the dead. I found this song online & thought it told the Easter story beautifully. Resurrection Day See, what a morning, gloriously bright, With the dawning of hope in Jerusalem; Folded the grave-clothes, tomb filled with light, As the angels announce, "Christ is risen!" See God's salvation plan, Wrought in love, borne in pain, paid in sacrifice, Fulfilled in Christ, the Man, For He lives: Christ is risen from the dead! See Mary weeping, "Where is He laid?" As in sorrow she turns from the empty tomb; Hears a voice speaking, calling her name; It's the Master, the Lord raised to life again! The voice that spans the years, Speaking life, stirring hope, bringing peace to us, Will sound till He appears, For He lives: Christ is risen from the dead! One with the Father, Ancient of Days, Through the Spirit who clothes faith with certainty. Honor and blessing, glory and praise To...

I have tried to post these pictures a few times but experienced some computer problems so here goes! Hollie's 27th birthday was a fun time of fellowship and food! Hollie isn't a big cake fan (other than pink lemonade cake) so she asked for Angel Food pie. Henry really enjoyed the pie, too! Hollie is such a caring daughter and friend. She is always the first person around when someone is in need. She helps us so much with caring for both Ferguson and Sadie (food, shots, advice on training, feeding, and health issues). We love to get together and discuss books that we have both read!! She is our go-to person for selling items on Craig's List (or for that matter any computer related questions) or finding jobs. Thanks for everything! We love you, HOLLIE!

The weather is beautiful today but it has been very unpredictable for the past few weeks. Becca and Henry went to Fuller Park with Iyanna and her mom, Amanda. Amanda took some great pictures and put them on a disc for me. Although the weather that day was a bit cold and rainy, they had fun playing. Praise the Lord, I have a job! I was hired by a temp agency for a long term temp job at Citi (where Rich works). I will be on the phones all day (after three weeks of training). It is such an answer to prayer! I was hoping to start training this week but my finger printing and drug testing paper work didn't come through in time. So I'll start next Monday. Last week I also interviewed for a preschool director/teacher position at Cole Valley Christian School - I will hear about that by the end of April. I am excited about the possibilities of getting back into teaching. I believe that quite a few people applied for the job so it is not a "done deal." The Lord has a plan...
