Froelich's Frolics

Love this song. I am thankful we can trust God to be faithful each and every day. He is the same yesterday, today and forever.

Love my best friends. Just wish we could see each other more often.

Saturday, July 9th, we went to a Southern Gospel concert down at the Bill Monroe Music Park. It was actually a 3 day concert, but we only went to the Saturday night concert. The performers were Gold City, Legacy 5 and The Perrys. The Perrys were actually there all 3 nights. We really enjoyed the outdoor concert. We were blessed by the music. It was so nice to just sit back and enjoy some good Southern Gospel music by three very talented groups.  It had been a long time since I had heard Gold City sing live, so it was a special treat to see Tim Riley and to hear his booming bass voice.  Gold City did several familiar songs, many I remember hearing the group sing a long time ago.  Gold City's pianist, Bryan Elliott, did a fantastic job. The next group was The Perrys. They also did a great job. This is another group that I had not seen live for a while, if at all. I can't remember now. Then, one of my favorite groups, Legacy 5, hit the stage. I love Legacy 5. They...

Carl and I have been to Symphony on the Prairie several times, but never for the Independence Day performances, until this year. We went to SOTP the Saturday before the 4th, and enjoyed ourselves. Boy, was it a hot day though. The concert started at 8pm, and we got there before 7 to set up our camp chairs and walk around. I noticed this person trying to stay cool: We also saw some Revolutionary War and Civil War re-enactors. We loved the music we heard. We enjoyed some delicious kettle corn...yummy! The fireworks were fantastic. I was wanting to get a photo of the flag, and just I pressed the shutter down, the wind changed direction and the flag was waving like this. Love it! This was a fun part of our 4th of July weekend.

I went to Kohl's last Friday and bought these items: How much do you think I paid for everything? Any guesses? Well...I spent $7.70...for everything. I was sooo proud of myself. The blouse was on the clearance rack for $5.50, and the wash towels were on sale for $3.99 each pack. I had a coupon for $5 off any purchase, along with another coupon for 15% off the entire order. Mom was very sweet and gave those coupons to me. My receipt says that I saved $67.00. How cool is that?! Don't you just love a bargain?

We had the UBC Sounds of Praise Quartet at our church last night. This is one of the songs that they sang. I am thankful for my country, but most of all, I am thankful for Jesus who died to give me true freedom.

I thought it was amazing...
