Sunday

 The good sleeps are piling up and the stack just can't get too high.  So, it was the usual sort of early morning stuff. This Sunday with Doug's usual late wake up we left for church as soon as he was dressed.  The reason?  Time to start having help with moving things from the attic.  Heidi and I needed to be at church when the youth moved things to the tables on the first level.  And we made it.  The tables are filled with nativities ready to be placed in areas to be on display for the 4 weeks of Advent and 2 weeks of Christmas Tide.  Little by little with thinking ahead makes this an easier job.  The eight youth were awesome with their help taking less than 15 minutes to move everything needed.  

We'll be working at church on Tuesday getting all ready for our set up again nativity Sunday which is next week.  But first comes the last Sunday of the church year...Christ the King Sunday with a few changes.  Then it's onward and forward all hands on deck with Advent and Christmas Tide. 

Then it was time for church with the yearly celebration of Hamilton Weekend.  Not the celebration of the movie but the celebration of the yearly Hamilton Sunday honoring both Anna Lee and Dick Hamilton.  Dick was our beloved Sr. minister for years.  Anna Lee, a wonderful preschool teacher in the Sunday School as well as faculty member at Butler in the voice department.  Two folks who meant a lot to us.  

It was a wonderful Sunday of worship and learning.  The church was full as it once was before the pandemic. 

The theme for this year's Sunday was on women's health issues.  Our state of Indiana's UM Bishop preached.  There was a dinner and then afternoon speaker.  It was an awesome morning that filled the soul.  

Doug did not stay but I was delivered home by Eric and Beth G.  It was great to have time to visit with them.  

Then as you might know, it was football time.  The Colts week was intitled BY.  But there were planty of other games to watch.  I knitted with my morning cup of coffee close by.  It's never to late for coffee. 

All is well.  For those expecting to read Sunday night .  All is well.  Spectrum was doing crazy things and since we have many things tired to Spectrum...it was a knitting night and nothing else.

Monday

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...

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...

 Back home again in Indiana.  That's where we were arriving late afternoon yesterday after a wonderful time with Jared, Kimmy and the grandsons adding Kimmy's many relatives to our visit.  It was just what I needed.                                                         Happy times but good grief.  What's with the hair, girl?      We arrived late at the Jared/Kimmy Russell home Thursday afternoon again rediscovering family again along with many free-range chickens, three cats, joe, the horse, three ducks four ewes and Eli's sheep for this year's 4-H entry.  Numerous goldfish would join us later in the week.       This is Eli's friend Hope holding renamed Barb because her nest was found hidden in the rhubarb.             ...
