Sunday

 We were up first with the family sleeping in, slowly emerging from the back of the house.  Little by little the attendance account said all was sort of ready for church.  We followed to the Midland Free Methodist Church.  A church well grounded in a great welcoming tradition.  


Kimmy had a pop tart for breakfast.  Wyatt knows the crackle of pop tart wrapping and is asking for a bit by putting his paw on Kimmy's arm. Smart dog..If he wants a good rub down he does the same. 

                                        Three pizzas disappeared in almost a wink of the eye. 

Back home and the job of packing the car was completed.  Lunch arrived with carried-in Pizza, another well-traveled tradition accompanied by the preferred Tim Allen and Tool Time entertainment while eating.  The kids found a wonderful rerun show when shows were good.  They all agreed.  


                                    Doug, Adam, Jacob, Lela and Eli Russell It's time to leave.  Boo Hoo. 

People pictures were taken again and the car left the driveway with two grandparents who felt entertained like royalty.  300 miles of the rubber hitting the road and we pulled into 10420.around  6:45.  Doug did the washing. The bags were unpacked and we are home to take up living in the city of Carmel again with memories of busy kids and even busier parents doing what good parents do. That is supporting their kids growing into fine adults. 


                                     One more chicken picture.  I just could not help myself.

 Another busy day with all day church.  It was worthwhile. Of course it started with some sewing machine stuff.  There are 50 new burps in the bin.  Yesterday I unloaded another 100 on to Ginny's porch.  So, we're well on the way to another 100.  This next one hundred will make a total of 500 this fall if my head is screwed on right.  Sometimes there are leaks.  Ginny gave me permission to slow down for a while.  I'll let that happen at the end of 500 needing that last bed sheet to reach that number.   Then off to church for another good day with church folks.  Remember your Baptism was the theme for the morning and all went well.                                                                            ...

 A good day with the usual stuff happening.  That's good enough for me.  I was up a little early with breakfast and a little TV but not much.  Spectrum was at it again.  Come on TV.                  Feverfew in it's second bloom.  I think it's a medicinal herb. Don't know for what.     I decided to work on the last 30 burps.  So that's what I did with the hope of getting them finished and on their way to Ginny at church.  Well, that didn't happen.  I ran out of time with only the last sewing to do on all 30.  They made it to the finish line in the afternoon. This is the third 100 in three weeks.  I think that's a new record.  I'm taking a break for a few days.  The nurses should have enough to keep them burp busy for a while.  I delivered the floor blankets so there will be something new for new born babies.         ...

                                                  Dahlias still showing their best side. I see some tired leaves. The morning was all about burps.  There were seventy to work on.  The next thirty needed a sheet for backing.  So the machine did the first sew around and then the scissors did the trimming.  The fabric scraps were deposited in the recycling bin.  Turning the right side to the outside was the next thing that needed to happen. I declared a break time.  But after the break...all seventy were turned ready for the iron.  Then more sewing and folding.  Woo...finishing is on the way.                Volunteer Cherry Tomatoes available for the picking.  I'm over tomatoes for this year.                ...
