Tuesday

 Today started slow and then it got really busy.  It's Holy Week with a whole lot of do at church.  Doug drove me to church and I joined Julie and Heidi for a morning of preparation for both the Thursday and Friday evening services.  Easter work can't start until Saturday morning.

We moved to the chapel with Darren who gave us what the room needed for the Thursday evening communion service.  We moved the altar out and then positioned chairs in a circle formation.  We will worship in the round.  My four years of college was done that way and a favorite for me although some seem to be a bit uncomfortable with that.  But Thursday will be in the round.  I anticipate that the room will be full.  It usually is.  

Friday evening's service will be in the sanctuary and led by the choir sharing The Last Seven Words of Christ in music.  I remembered to take pictures. 


It took us most of the morning to get all the spaces ready.  



Julie had other responsibilities and Heidi and I moved on to Sullivans to pick up the Easter flowers for the altar.  We'll use the palms from Palm Sunday and the artificial peach tree in full bloom, processional crosses, altar flowers given by Sue and the flowers we picked out this morning. A wonderful set of banners will fill the sides of the sanctuary.  With so many options we are in a good place when adding visuals for the celebration. 

Doug met us at Sullivans and I was happy to be on my way home after a busy morning of work.  I'm still struggling with bursitis in my hip which seems to affect my whole leg. Time on the chair should help.

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
