Saturday

 This will be a short entry tonight.  The day has been very interesting but after being at church from 9:30 till 8:00 I'm a bit beat.  So here is the truth.   The day was set aside as a part of the Renew and Rejoice Weekend.  It continues tomorrow morning and afternoon so that makes it a weekend.  Darren is finishing up the latest series of sermons on Relentless Grace.  All of this plus many other things has been a path to a doctoral degree.  He felt the need to be refreshed in his ministry and after looking at options, he was most interested in studies that led to a doctorate degree.  So he jumped in and is soon ready to wrap that degree up.   It was a very good church day with renewal activities planned for the congregates.  The leadership was excellent and very spiritually rewarding.   We learned about how he planned his degree process with focus groups as well as other ways to learn about the church he serves...

Friday

                                                  Dahlias still showing their best side. I see some tired leaves. The morning was all about burps.  There were seventy to work on.  The next thirty needed a sheet for backing.  So the machine did the first sew around and then the scissors did the trimming.  The fabric scraps were deposited in the recycling bin.  Turning the right side to the outside was the next thing that needed to happen. I declared a break time.  But after the break...all seventy were turned ready for the iron.  Then more sewing and folding.  Woo...finishing is on the way.                Volunteer Cherry Tomatoes available for the picking.  I'm over tomatoes for this year.                ...

Thursday

 Another interesting day with a lot of variety.  Super good sleep with wake ups but back to sleep without an hour or more long break.  That's just fine.  I watched a little Joe with the thought I need to make better use of my time. No new news seemed to be the order of the day. So I gave thirty burps their first go around on the sewing machine.  The machine told me it needed a break so I was off to church for a morning of finishing up for the weekend.   It was Heidi, Laurel and I this morning.  Many loose ends got woven into the baptismal workshop on Saturday and Sunday.  I would say all is well and ready.  Darren ask that we be observers during both days so it seems I'll be a church lady on the weekend.   I left church at 12:30 and headed to H H for another skein of yarn. Knitting Saturday and Sunday afternoon will be a filler for me.   Then back home for lunch with the afternoon agenda being soup making  and of...

Wednesday

Image
            Kimmy's sister Viki gave us this pot.  It's filled to the brim with plants started in the spring. At this house Wednesday is big blue truck day, lawn mowing day and today Doug is working on some signs for church baptism displays and I'm into burps and garden clearing.                  Soral.  Something to add to a salad. The red and green are so pretty in the evening sun..  So here goes the details.  We had two b blues to contribute lawn stuff to the landfill this morning.  I thought there would be more but other stuff happened and there were only two containers to contribute.  But the garden clearing this afternoon already has one BB stuffed for next week. These contributions have been made for years. New tools make it a bit easier to complete the job.  The artemisia is gone, the tomato stalks, and more verbena are gone.  The tomato plants h...

Tuesday

                                               I guess sun and peppers go together for this little friend. Today, Tuesday has been almost as good as Monday.  Woo. Two days in a row.  There was one exception.  Tuesday was fueled with less sleep.  Four hours isn't the same as seven or eight.  Dah!  But I'm fine.  Night isn't very far away and we'll see what it brings.  Probably more surprises.                                                         Straw flowers...a great pumpkin orange. I filled the morning with ripping fabric prepared for more burp construction sometime soon.  I discovered  that ripping is like one of my PT exercises...

Monday

I love Mondays.  Why?  I'm not sure but the whole week is ahead of me all clean and ready for what is to come.  Yes.  I love Mondays.             From the kitchen window.  Mrs. Downy is visiting again having  a late dinner in the garden. And today was a fun day.  I left a few things behind.  No sewing, No ripping fabric. Just 10 minutes of filler knitting.  I was in the car going places.  My mind was doing some different thinking.  It was a fun day. I needed a change.                                                                                 Fresh flowers on the table.   The first trip out was south to 38th and Meridian street meaning church....

Sunday

Image
 A good day with the usual stuff happening.  That's good enough for me.  I was up a little early with breakfast and a little TV but not much.  Spectrum was at it again.  Come on TV.                  Feverfew in it's second bloom.  I think it's a medicinal herb. Don't know for what.     I decided to work on the last 30 burps.  So that's what I did with the hope of getting them finished and on their way to Ginny at church.  Well, that didn't happen.  I ran out of time with only the last sewing to do on all 30.  They made it to the finish line in the afternoon. This is the third 100 in three weeks.  I think that's a new record.  I'm taking a break for a few days.  The nurses should have enough to keep them burp busy for a while.  I delivered the floor blankets so there will be something new for new born babies.         ...
