Indian Summer.

 What an impressive fall.  Today's temperatures are in the high 50's.  The trees still have quite a few leaves.  The snapdragons are still blooming and the birds are hanging around.  It's a beautiful fall day.  No frost for more nights this time of year than I can remember

Today seems to be an extension of yesterday. It might be thought as the clean-up time related to yesterday.  So off to church this morning to pack away sand and candles used at the All Saints service yesterday.  We did a few things differently as related to Covid and those changes seem to be keepers for services to come.  So put that in the bank as a good change that Covid brought.  Surprises happen.

Patty H. dropped off all the cloth napkins used at the Umoja celebration.  They are in the dryer waiting for a press and fold ready for next year's celebration.  It was a wonderful evening of celebration, visiting, hearing many child filed stories.  A time of listening and then doing, that being auction bidding, free-will offering with more encouragement to give.  The evening resulted in over $52,000 dollars being raised to support children in need in western Kenya.  A monumental attempt to fund the program.   

Doug had his yearly visit with the heart doctor who told him to come back in a year.  Great news.  Football tonight.  Yes...stitching more because the brain just keeps thinking of one more thing to add.

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

Wed. I'm back Thanks be to God!

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
