Sunday

 

                                                I think I have a total of 4 blooming right now. 

Up and ready to go.  Well, it wasn't quite like that. Yesterday's afternoon sort of did me in.  My body was letting me know that every muscle was unhappy with being abused.  But I carried on.  There was the paper to read, breakfast to eat and halfway through the morning we left the house for church 15 minutes earlier than usual.  

                                                                            Truly a gift.

The choir was singing a simpler that usual anthem.  And I wanted to join the summer choir.  And Doug did also.  Next Sunday it's Ava Verum.  One of my favorites.  So another singing Sunday is planned.  


                            So, we both sang God So Loved The World.  Easy and so beautiful done.                                                                  I recognize the white hair along with a blue shirt.  

Another good service meeting new folks visiting.  Then home and who should be in the dirt again but Gina.  Later in the day she reported she was finished having pulled out 60 some pavers.  What a girl doing a YOAMENS job.  I need to take more pictures.  

                    All removed.  Yeah for Gina. I saw some cars owned by her sons in the driveway.  

                                     All more than 60 stacked ready and waiting for a new life.  

I spent the afternoon trying to stay cool looking at fresh Superior pictures with the family at the Eagle River beach being entertained as they were at Great Sand Bay.  The beach never gets old. 

The sky is clearer and what is more fun than finding a big tree limb that can float some would be little boys in Superior. 

The fans are running here and sitting still watching the Fever win another game with sweaty bodies running from end to end doesn't seem to cool me off. And hearing about pavers seems to do the same.  I would say it's a typical summer day with July once again declared as a hot month in Indiana.

             The B is missing.  I'll be at Aldi's tomorrow. Only an Indiana tomato can look like that.                                                            One slice of tomato will fill a slice of bread.

    The two of you look good in the choir - both with recent birthdays! This is a good way to celebrate, isn't it? There can be wonderful, terrific, not bad, very good days - even in Australia!

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...

Amazing Saturday

 For many reasons it has been an amazing day.  One to remember as long as memory allows me.   Once again sleep did not stick with me, so I was once again out of bed around 1 last night.  I thought of checking the IU Portal for whatever it was going to tell me.  And it did a lot of talking about the scan that happened Wednesday.  The Easter portal news is that all cancer related things seem to be pretty stable with even some slight improvement in one area. Ever so slight but that still is great news.  So. for now, I feel like the stone has been rolled away and new life is with me.  Thanks be to God.  So back to bed and I slept till 6.  I'll take it with Thanksgiving.  Breakfast came and the clock proved it was time to leave for Church to get a jump on Easter visuals before the crew arrived.                 New members Hannah and Andrew working in the chapel with the lamb and...
