IN Carmel

 Tonight will be an interesting night to hear all about voting.  We wait.            The Oehler Maple Tree we planted more than 50 years ago.  The sun turns the yellow into gold. So the day was interesting as well.  It started with the sewing machine.  I told Ginny that I was going to take some time off with burp making.  Humm...When all the pretty fabric came I changed my mind.  So it was pretty burp time.  By the end of today there should be another 50 some completed making another 100.  The first 50 happened last week.  So I carried on and it's been fun.  That was an all morning thing.  We made a medicine run to the drugstore.  Doug added a few things so once again he's stocked up.   I spent some time in the kitchen in the afternoon and yes...the Ginger Snap Cookies or Molasses Cookies happened.  I got my fill.  Doug got his. The Lawn Guys got theirs and tonight Eri...

 Another busy Monday even though in the way past it was busy with washing clothes and more.  That wasn't today.   First there was a text that Beth had some fabric. Was I interested?  Of course.  So off to Beth's I went and went through about four boxes of fabric choosing what would work for burps.  Time ran out and I was on my way to church with a promise I would be back later.   And church was busy for us visual people.  We cleaned up the candles and sand from from yesterdays service. Then moved on to next Sunday's service.  It was so much fun to see everything come together for the Keep a light on Faith and Mental Health service.                                 We had so many interesting lights causing us to add another table.  More fun.                      ...

 It was a very good day.  Humm.  Who sang that?  Perry Como or someone like that.  I'm not sure.  But it was a very good day.  A great sleep and the time change brought a sunny earlier morning but a very dark early evening.  Bummer.  I would like both of those to be light.  I guess I need to move somewhere else.  Would that work.  Equator...light at 6 am.  dark at 6 pm.  I think that's right.  All Saints Sunday was celebrated with great music, sermon, communion and candles.  Another special Sunday at North.  The congregation swells on Sundays like these. A full feeling feels like old times before covid.  We are not necessarily a neighborhood church. Not all but many folks come from a far.   There were seven stations like this where people could light a candle remembering saints in their lives no longer with us. Then home for lunch and a start on football watching which I felt was played l...

 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 ...
