The last day of the week.

 Today is Bread and Bowl morning at church.  I look forward to seeing our community folks again.  Their visits are not long but still enjoyable.  This mission work started at least 35 years ago by church ladies has evolved from a soup and sandwich ministry to now supported by Second Helpings providing a main dish casserole.  The church adds a vegetable and some sort of pastry and bread donated by Kroger grocery store.  The portions are huge and folks usually can take two dinners home with them.  Our days to serve are Tues. Thurs. and Sat.  Other churches in the area provide food to fill out the week.  Feed the hungry is our mission.  We ask no questions.

After a second trip to Lowe's, our dining room table now supports 4 beautiful huge white poinsettias that will eventually go to church for our Christmas Eve service as well as the two Sundays after that evening.  I started with two and now it's four.  Four will cover the space well.  We'll add lots of candles symbolizing that light that came with the birth of one who brought light to the world.  So it's icecube watering time making sure that what looks wonderful now will continue that trend till the transport to church. 

I'm sure there will be football this afternoon. Basketball has been added and then in between it all there is always all the other stuff that happens in the world.  This morning, prayers of comfort for those who have been devastated by the during the night weather to the south of us.  TV pictures tell the story.  

9:00 will be here soon.  That's the time I like to be at church ready for the morning's work.

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
