Whirlwind Saturday.

 This morning was one of two Saturday's a month when I work at our church Bread and Bowl feeding program.  September usually brings something a little bit different for those Saturdays.  The Butler Basketball team divides into two groups each filling one of the Saturdays.  Today was the first of two, the second being next Saturday.  And it was a busy morning once again calling on all of those organizational skills I once used when teaching.  I told them they are like second graders just a bit taller, also adding that any group that is to complete a project successfully needs some degree of organization.  They understood.  There were seven players with their two coaches.  And they were busy as well as the regular workers who provided the organization help.  It was a fun morning.  One of our neighborhood guys is at the table getting something to take home for a meal or two while the guys visit with him.  For some it was their first soup kitchen experience.  Others had worked at their church outreach.    


Today there were close to 30 folks who appeared at church between the hours of 11 and 12.  A take-home meal or two can also be gotten on Tuesdays and Thursdays as well as Saturday.  


This ministry has been happening at this place for close to 40 years.  I am amazed at how many first-time folks we have as well as returning folks from time to time.  Kroger Mkt. also provides bread and the table includes other things that are donated.  



The succulent Autumn Joy is beginning to show color.  It's always a marker that there is something different in the air.  It's a new color and one that I really enjoy after the bright colors of summer.  


So life is good.  Knitting continues and the world keeps turning.  Praise God from whom all Blessings Flow.  

I mean ALL

Church tomorrow!!!   

Doug continues in good health.

    Is that flower Joe Pyeweed?

    I was so proud of my aging memory that remembered all nine names an hour after wwe left. It helped that two of the players have the same name: Myles. The others were Deej, Pierce, CD (from CA - Canada), JM, Jayden, Will, and Coach Val Jordan. . . I am usually TERRIBLE with names.

    Anyone who goes to or listens to Butler Basketball - take note of those names. . .

Kimmy did it again.  She guided me to the spot where now there is a change made in the blog settings  allowing comments.  If you had a google account you could do that already.  At least  that's what I think I'm reading.  So comment away when you want to.  Will be fun.                             I'm looking forward to a whole bunch of different zinnias this summer.   Finger report.  It's doing fine with a major clean up today. One reason for no butterfly but a small club is to pad the site.  Typing is improving.  The day brought more sewing with four more bags completed and one waiting for velcro which should arrive tomorrow via Amazon.  Another package of D rings should be included to finish up a few cover ups.  It's been a busy sewing season with some new challenges that keep the sewing room interesting.  I must dig through my fabric for more options.   Lots of meal worms are disappearing again.  Most of the time it's because the pair of Blue Birds are having

This time I hope I'm back for a very long time.  The computer with pictures is finally a go and all the excitement of Sunday is over.   I don't know if I've recovered yet.  There are a few more days before the next Sunday.   For those few who don't know it was another hospital stay of a couple of days.  And it all started in the pew at church with a pass out  seizure type of thing. I think something to do with high sugar perhaps.  The whole service came to a halt for a while.  How embarrassing with a carry out by the good old EMTS.   Lots of tests I guess.  I don't remember a thing until Sunday evening with a trip into a scan machine.  I got released Tuesday and today I visited my primary care doctor for answers and I'm pretty well satisfied.  Two days in bed have really made me wobbly so I'm pretty careful about moving around.  It should get better soon.  I won't be driving for a while because of the seizure.  That's a huge bummer.  The seizure medi

Saturday.

 Today was the every other Saturday for Soup Kitchen work at church.  But before that I was up at 6 with breakfast and a little sewing time.  By 8 I was on my way to church to be at the door when Tosha would be arriving.  Sarah Ellen is in Italy for the week.  One person short makes a whole lot of difference when the soup kitchen crew is at it's usually small size.  Jack arrived earlier than usual so that was a big help and the new Cindy crew of two more folks made work time even easier.  Sometimes I feel like it's a guess who is coming to work now added to the guess who is coming to lunch.  The crowd wasn't as large as usual.  We just never know.  I say it's a crap shot not to be figured out!                                                I hope to have a lot of these orange cosmos this summer.   The morning work flew along.  I talked with Heidi about my ideas for Easter decorations.  The Easter banners are back at church and a few more decisions have been made.  Easte
