Sunday.

 Sunday started early with the alarm clock.  Church time was no later than 8 am.  We left the house around 7:10 knowing that the choir expected a coffee break between services, which meant Doug needed to get in on the action.  He's the go-to guy for any coffee job.  Rehearsal started at 8 and church at 8:30.  Then the break between services and back at it at 11.  Great music Great sermon all with the hope that the finance drive is successful.  In the afternoon the church's annual Trunk or Treat happened rain or shine.  The rain version happened inviting the children to T and T inside. 

                                Eric, Noah, Kat and Andrew with a Where's Waldo theme.                                                                     It was Trunk or Treat inside the church version for 2022 Halloween

The rest of the day was s l o w and cloudy with occasional showers.  So a quiet Sunday afternoon with football among other things.  The Colts lost by a touchdown in the last 30 seconds of the game.  Our neighbor Bill left two brownies on the patio.  Yum, Yum.  
                                                            After the sad the happy.

I did a little reading about Christmas Cactus which really are not cacti. There are Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter varieties all with different shaped greenery..  Mine has the shapes that make it a Christmas for sure.  Looking soon for buds.  I read that this plant needs 14 hours of darkness to bloom. 

                                               It's had a great summer of growth on the patio.                                                                                        I'm looking forward to some flower power this fall.  

Jacob had his weekend of music playing with the Central Michigan Honors Band playing at Central Michigan University.

More football in the evening snuggled up in my electric throw that's been around since the tumor surgery.  I love that little blanket.  Last night's sleeping hours were slim.  I googled and found that the heart medicine I'm taking is a big part of the why question.  Looking forward to a conversation with the doctor in December.  More than an average of 4 or 5 hours a night would be great.

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
