Sunday

 It's been a good day.  Maybe even close to a great day.  No, it's been a super day.


Being a church day it was time to get dressed up and on our way to church at 10.  And we had time to visit before the 11 o'clock service.  The flowers were beautiful.  The preaching was stellar.  The choir was at their best and the handbells with our two grandsons as members of that group, played.  

                                Bob and Rita.  Bob being the honoree on this particular Sunday.                                                                  Two more arrangements were on the other side of the altar.  

We moved all the flower to the west entrance for folks to enjoy who had business at the church during the week.  Then we headed home with the parking lot still full of cars.  That was the plan.  


Our UP-camping friends arrived around 2:00 and we killed many words talking about Fort Wilkins, Copper Harbor, Their home on Lake Madore, Father Basel, iPhones, Carmel Round Abouts and a whole lot of other things.  It was such fun to dig back and think forward in our memories.  We walked the garden talking about the difference seasons bring to gardening.  They drove out of the driveway thinking north for the evening and then on to Chicago to see their son Tory and his family Monday. 

After they left it was football and some other usual Sunday stuff.  I can report that the energy bucket did not empty and continued to produce through the evening.  What a gift that I am exceedingly grateful for. It's been a super, super day filled with memories of long ago and not new ones from today.  Thank you, Judy and Gary.

This is the beautiful Iris that came from neighbor Kathy at a time I really needed it.  Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow.  You heard that again and again.  That's all I have needed.  Great is they faithfulness, Lord unto me.   

Yes...pictures are back.  I think it might have been a dumb, dumb brain thing that made them go away.  It would appear that I don't have much left to work with.  You think?  It's alright to agree with that. It probably is the truth.

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
