Check that off!

 Yes...the furnace guys finished their installation.  And today the weather is a bit cooler.  Woo..  escaped the bullet on this one.  We're toasty warm with what should be a warmer house than in past winters given that the boiler is new and not full of stuff that accumulates over time impeding the heated water.  I'm looking forward to a toaster house. There is lots of new bright copper piping that I think needs some Christmas balls hanging from them!  

An unexpected yesterday event was making votive candles for the large two-foot Advent candles used in the sanctuary each year.  Always needing something and I can say these homemade votive candles work great fitting the tops of those honker-sized candles.  They are each 10 lbs of wax poured into PVC pipes coated with candle release.  How many have I made?  I certainly can't say.  We just hope they are not broken when used.  It happens.  We have a purple set, blue set, and rainbow-colored set of candles.  

Late afternoon today it's getting serious time preparing for an all-church decorating session Sunday after the second service.  The visual arts team received their instruction last Sunday and tonight before choir we're going to move banners and more for Advent to the areas assigned for decorating.  .   It's banners and more for the chapel, east hall, sanctuary, west entrance and the job of moving things from the attic to the community room ready for more decorating at the Advent Festival on Dec. 5th. .  Lots to think about and organization will help to get the job completed early Sunday afternoon.  Hoping for many hands.  

 Sunday evening it will be packing the car time and off to Georgia Monday morning arriving Tues. afternoon.  We have done the trip in one day but it's so much easier to split the trip into two days.  The countryside can be seen!  Just a little less stress which is a good thing these days.  

Remembering an old TV show.  I love it when a plan comes together.  Put an s on the word plan this time of year.

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

 A day that's been a little slow.  I guess that's OK now and then.   The morning included a yucky bird feeder clean out.  I got tired of looking at it and it was almost empty so there was my chance.  The blue bird was seen often and the pair of red bellied wood peckers enjoyed the suet.  I saw on facebook a guard that is easy to put together to keep sparrows out of the blue bird house.  It's worth a try made with wire and fishing filaments and fishing weights.  I need a wire cutter first.                                                                    For a while both Mr. and Mrs. were visiting.  Then it was to the sewing machine.  The day produced three bags.  I need to get the collection on their way to Michigan.  I made a couple for the Carmel grandsons.  The pace was slowed with a finger cut with the rotary cutter.  What a bleeder I produced.  I will say this is the first slash I gave myself in more than ? years of sewing.  I think it's time for a fresh dressing

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
