Sunday.

 I call this a rather odd Sunday. It started at 1:30 am with a wake up so it's been a rather long day, I would say.  The things I have read about are coming true and that means we're going in the right direction. Blame it on the medicine!  Sleeplessness is one of them. Hot flashes...yup they are here,  Head aches...count them in. I'm sure there will be more.  I hear everything gets better after a while.   I gave Doug the papers about side effects knowing that he had to know what may or may not be part of our lives at this point. I would say things are happening as expected.  So don't worry nor fret little boy little girl, or the world will lose some of its joy.  I heard that saying often from my neighbor Joe Kauffman when I was a little girl.  I still hear it in my head.

So, to go along with the 1:30 A M hour I decided that today should be easy.  Church was going to happen in a tent this morning and it was really cold out so time to duck and cover and stay home.  Some churches around here do that tent thing one Sunday in the year.  I'm not very crazy about it.  Another good reason to stay home. I had to attend many tent revivals as a kid.

                                I don't have a picture of a tent.  I'm depending on your imagination.

Pretty berries.  I think they are called Catoni asters.  Maybe!  I hope to use a few in the altar flowers in a few weeks.  That is if the berries are hanging on.  

I did a little sewing finishing up ten more burps.  Oops not quite finished yet. I worked on the mushrooms but there still work to do.  I have one mushroom top finished.  Five more to go but they are on their way.

I think you can find the finished one.  Well, it still needs a stem which really is a stick the top sits on.  Then they will go in the garden.  Not mine but someone who wins the bidding war! They are rain proof.

Next Saturday is another soup kitchen day and I spent time today getting the 60 bags ready to fill for take out meals.  So happy to have that finished and I must admit it isn't very hard to do. 

I decided to walk around the block with Stella.  She was good company.  I was rather slow but so was she.  We met a gray hound neighbor walker, this time with a new foster hound as of last night.  It's a magnificent dog and one she said did lots of winning. The rest of the neighborhood was rather quiet.  

The afternoon brought football with the Colts losing to Huston by 2.  bummer.  Then the Fever was the entertainment.  It was their first overtime game, and they won!  It was an exciting game. The evening game saw the Lions playing.  The scoop is that they are going to the Super Bowl.  Hummm...we'll see about that.  I wonder what my Novi/Sterling Michigan blog reader camping friends say about that.  

                            I hope I didn't show you these flowers but if I did...here they are again.  

So the week begins. The calendar is empty all week.  How did that happen.  Right now it's a do what I want to.  I should cook But there is Rita soup and some meat pies I made two weeks ago in the freezer.  So I think we'll make it through.
