This Girl is Amazing...

If you know Michaèla, the sweet Brit gal from Waverly, you probably know about her creative gift of painting and design. Once again, she amazed me yesterday when she spent a couple of hours at my house "performing her magic" on a redecorated bathroom. As I left for work, I told her, "Here is the shower curtain....just do something with this."

So I had to share and brag and gloat a little over how this amazing new look was created by my sweet friend, Michaèla. She started with this...



...and "Abra-ca-dabra, Al-ika-zing,
Magic paintbrush, Do your thing!"
Honestly, THIS GIRL IS AMAZING...






I am quite happy with the new look--I know, I know, it's only a bathroom. But I just love seeing the results of color and shape and design and God's amazing gifts being used by Michaèla-- all of this coming together to create. Feel free to stop by the Pekkalas the next time you need a bathroom break!

God's Great Outdoors

Today was an awesome day to enjoy God's great outdoors. Our own rvcc Club 345 visited the Brewers at Milestone Lodge and Lake as we did a little fishing, cooked up some hot dogs, soaked up the beautiful sunshine, and relaxed as we hung out with good friends. The breeze was blowing, the bobbers were bobbing, the bluegills were biting....well, it just doesn't get any better than that.
