We started our 2nd week of RAK'ing with surprising Kim's dance teacher with a little box of Valentine's chocolates, almond rocas. They are one of our favorite treats and come to find out one of hers as well.
We had a couple of days run away from us but we didn't forget our goal. 14 RAKS for Valentines day. So we started our Sunday morning off with a stop to buy flowers at the store. Kimberly wanted to bless our teachers at church this morning. So she took flowers to Pastor Carey, Miss Lisa H and Miss Lisa C. She even specifically chose a pink rose for Miss Lisa H, because pink is her favorite color. Pastor Carey gave her a new book in return that she promptly went and sat down and started reading while the worship team was warming up.
Then after church was over we headed off to the hospital. Our goal was to take flowers and visit a little bit with someone who is there but doesn't get any visitors. How lonely it must feel to get old and not be well and not have anyone come to visit with you. We were greeted at the door by a nurse who asked us who we were coming to see. We told her that we really didn't know but we wanted to see someone who needed a visitor. She called another nurse up and they looked over the list and decided that the flowers should go to this sweet little lady. She's in her 90's and just an itty bitty thing, they said. Unfortunately she was asleep when we got there. So we decided not to disturb her but to leave our flowers and our card with the nurses. They said they would put them in a vase for her and they were sure they would brighten her day. I do really hope that she bring a smile to her face. Just to know that someone really does care and you aren't alone has to mean something.
Then it was off to take Grandma to dinner. Kim has been wanting to do this for a while and today was the perfect day. We had flowers for her as well. Kimberly decided to hide them in the car and then after we ordered she went out and got them for her. Grandma was very happy and we had a lovely girls time out with her. And you can never go wrong with Wah Hing's Chinese for dinner.
I didn't get any pictures of the last few RAK's but will try to get some of the last few days that we have to do.
