IN Carmel

 I call this a pretty tame day.  Not much happened but one thing that did happen was pretty important.  First... I finished another 100 burps and will take 200 to Ginny tomorrow.  Another 48 burps are in the box waiting for the next 52 burps to come along at some point. I'm in no hurry to make that happen since November which is tomorrow is pretty full of other things needing attention.  Some things really needing a lot of attention.  The 200 burps are in the car with a pretty sure feeling they will get to church tomorrow.  Doug usually asks at the church door...anything to carry in.  Tomorrow I'll say yes.  There was a little football to fill in the cracks of free time while I was snipping fabric. I thought of Ginger Snap cookie making.  But I'm still thinking and the day is almost gone.  Oops...on today. I worked on more Advent bows beginning to think  seriously about Advent.  And then here comes the important part!...

 Today was a little of this and that.   There was sewing and the next 100 burps were finished.  I plan to deliver another 100 to Ginny Sunday.  I moved on to sewing a few more burps but with no significant number to show for the effort.   The call came that the Honda was finished and Bozo and the grandfather clock got to go back home.  Then we were on to Aldi's for another week or more of groceries.  I always try to do a bit of stretching of food.  At one time they were cheaper.  They still might be but the tab always seems to be higher.  We're not the only ones to experience an up tick in the grocery bill.  Yikes. How high will it go?                                             The fairy world has moved into the dining room.     There was a walk around the yard and I think I've filled the last B Blu...

 It seems to be a sewing day among a few other things.  I did a lot of sewing preparation and was in my world of fabric that lead to almost missing my next to last PT.  OOPS.  Yes it was a bigger than I would like to have oops.  But Diana did give me 30 minutes of neck work that is so helpful.  The scare tissue is less but not completely at ease.  But much better.   Then to the gas station for a little more juice in Bozo.  Not much more but enough for today and tomorrow.  When Bozo is returned he should have more gas in him than when we picked him up.   It was home for more of my favorite sewing time.                                                                              The next group ...

 It's another all day Wednesday.  There have been many. HOW fortunate for me.  Last night was a wonderful night of sleep.  I'm enjoying a rested Wednesday.  Maybe I should walk oftener at church to get really tired spaghetti legs.  I knitted for a while and then decided it was Goodwill shopping time for flannel sheets.  The cupboard was bare.  So off to the Goodwill at Castleton.  I flunked out.  Not one sheet even close to flannel.  I usually can find at least one.  So the car turned west and I ended up on Michigan road just south of 86th street way on the other side of Indy.  I found two flannels and one blue and green plaid sheet that would support the dull plain boring green flannel sheet.  The other pretty flowered flannel will be matched with a sheet I already have.   30 will get me to another 100 burps.  There is more than enough fabric to spill over to the next 100. There was a lot of driving in...

 Today was an interesting day with church visual work.  I love those days.  But the day started a bit slow.  And I love when that happens.  I finished the last few inches of another scarf.  Knitting has slowed way down these days.  I think this scarf was on the needles for at least a week.  Well, it seems like that.   I was off to church around 10:15. A little later than usual.  Dot, the Oehlers and Goetzingers arrived at 11.  Preparation for All Saints Sunday happened. We talked a bit about the visuals for the Hamilton Sunday. There were two more jobs assigned to the crew labeled  Advent preparation.  We split up and two people went to the chapel to work and the rest of us hit the stairs to the attic room over Darren's office.   The chapel assignment was to go through three drawers dividing the ornaments that said Christmas from other ornaments such as one that identified the trinity. A few more "others" we...

 A day like none other or something like that.   A few weeks ago while in the Aldi parking lot, I watched as two cars backed out of their parking space at the same time into each other.  One of the cars was driven by Doug.  The other car had no damage but ours had a minor ding on the "trunk" door.  Doug wanted to ignore it.  I said no particularly since we lease our car.  Well, this morning was the morning to turn the car in for fixing which we did arriving at 8:30.  The price to do that ..$3,000 dollars. If the ding was two inches to the left it would have been much cheaper.  We have a good deductible. BUT it took the rest of the morning to get a car rental from Enterprise.  There were a host of us needing rentals and the Enterprise girl was experiencing her first day on the job.  It was close to a nightmare experience for both her and all of us.  We were home three hours later with the morning eaten up although no other ...
