Saturday

 

                                                            It can only be a Lenten Cactus.                                                                                                                      This one is a gift from Kimmy.

Today started out like other days and then it got a little crazy.

There was breakfast with yogurt, nuts and blue berries.  I did some knitting finishing almost another scarf.  I'm into purple now.  I'm hoping I have enough yarn to make three purple scarves.  There are three ladies at church who love purple and are the best of friends.  I'm thinking about them. One is my daughter-in-law. 

                        I knitted in some pony beads on the light purple side for something different.  

The phone rang and it was Heidi asking how I was.  I thought that was a little strange and then she told me it was Bread and Bowl Saturday, and wondering where I was and if I was ok.  OOPS.  Yes, a big OOPS.  25 minutes later I was at church ready to dive into B and B work.

And it was a busy morning as usual getting ready for lunch eating folks with a lot of good workers.  But it was a small crowd that visited.  Why?  One never knows.  We kept busy with things closing up and putting away at 12.  It's always a big question about how many will be with us.  And today was one of those smaller groups of people.  The weather was chilly, but the sun was out, and we couldn't say the cause was fowl weather. It might be labeled as one of those it is what it is days.  

The 5 big storage containers made it to church.  The ladder will go tomorrow, and I presented bills for both of those items. There will be palm for Palm Sunday bills and flower bills for Easter Sunday.  

Back home in Carmel for lunch and an afternoon of lady's basketball and knitting with naps thrown in here and there.  I started another scarf. 

                                                        There another one on the needles. 

I was a little disappointed this morning before getting up when I realized because I have a restless leg syndrome on PA tells me, that my bottom sheets have a big hole in it.  This is the third sheet I have worn through.  I'm taking gabapentin which is suppose to help but the dosage is small.  I'm thinking that should change.  I hate buying sheets.  So, it soon will be off to Goodwill unless I patch with a huge patch the one I have.  I think this is something really strange that goes along with other strange things that I seem to have.  That certainly keeps me alert.  

There were a few trips outside but tomorrow it should me more comfortable.  The wind seems to be out of the north.  I prefer it to be out of the south. So sorry to all of my northern friends.  But it's the truth until July and August. 

                                            More little surprises showing up. Surprise, surprise.

Red sails in the morning, Sailors take warning.   The warning sign was miss thinking about a wonderful day with a gorgeous sunrise, but it turned into anything but wonderful. And after yesterday's blog entry, what was hoped to be a good week had a dismal beginning.  Jared called to tell us that Sunday evening Wyatt, their beautiful red poodle stopped eating and by three in the morning of Monday as Jared was driving to Lancing to the Vet at Michigan State, Wyatt died.  Wyatt was one wonderful dog in every sense of the word.  Smart, friendly, protective with absolute understanding about so many things.  Today and the days ahead will be days of mourning eventually becoming times of reflections about all the good that Wyatt brought to us.  His camping chair is now sitting in our living room reminding us of that goodness he gifted us.  After hearing about this event, I took a walk outside to clear my head and heart and found the first of many crocus bl...

 Another great celebration with family with a few little twists as sometimes families can produce.  But celebrate we did with lots of food and lots of card games and just lots of everything that makes memories.  We're tired and glad to say the celebration as good as it was, is over for another year.  And we're looking forward to seeing what a year from now brings.  Today was a day of picking up the pieces to move into busy December. A bit of Christmas decorating happened at home.                                        The stockings were hung.  At least two you see and three you don't. Heidi carried on with the last-minute things that happen at a busy church when scheduling seems to flop over each other during our absence.  We've scheduled another work morning for tomorrow just to make sure that everything is covered for the rest of th...

 It's been a crazy day. It started with more cinnamon rolls and then a little visiting and then it was out the door to the yard where we stayed all day long.  The hum of the chainsaws were in the air but not before the piliated birds visited.  Yes, it was chain saw heaven some would say.  The huge maple tree got its promised trim that was needed. That took a long time with the grandsons stacking wood.   A skill they have learned well and can be demonstrated with great execution.  Some was stacked and branches piled as to dead or alive with many ending up on the burn pile before the day was over.  Others were left for Doug to take care of but not many.   Then it was on to two oak trees and a crab apple.  Add the smoke tree and another very old huge maple tree. The stacked wood was put on some internet advertisement place and all disappeared after supper with a super happy couple dropping by and leaving with a car load of wood for som...
