Thursday

 Not too many things happened today but my body is telling me what happened was enough.


  

I worked on the needle work this morning finishing one small cross.  But I really want to say it's not finished until it is on one side of the stole.  There is a whole lot more to do and since Lent is the deadline, there is a lot of time.  


Then it was off to church for the second of four nativity open house events.  The predicted winter weather was a factor for a not so complete 100% attendance record. We had a few cancellations, but we carried on with about 10 folks coming to enjoy the nativities.  The cancellations assured us they would be back at the next open house. We would say another success for today's event. The threat of more snow caused us to cancel the evening visit time.  There was only one person coming and with a phone call that person came during our day event.  We're down to one more Thursday nativity visit.

                                        One of the kings in one of the sets.  I think he is cute.

There was a stop at R and B's with containers for Bread and Bowl carry out food. Rita labels the containers with heating information. Then on to Aldie's for milk.  I have eggs and bread but adding milk makes it the big three needed when a snowstorm is predicted.  The store was F ULL of folks doing what I was doing. A few other things hoped in the cart. 

            Sorry, the angel just didn't quite make it.  MAYBE SHE WAS FLYING TOO HIGH. 



The car took me home.  I was happy to be in that space.  The rest of the afternoon saw me in the chair trying to find some energy.  It really was hiding, and I didn't feel like seeking for it even after some sleeping. I'm sure it will appear tomorrow.  

Don't you just love that rabbit sitting in the manger. 

I picked up a small pizza for supper.  I'm just a bit tired of soup so this was a welcomed change even though I'm not much of a pizza eater.  

The hope is that tonight the needle work cross shows some stitch filling.  Tomorrow, Doug has a trip to the Saxony heart doctor.  We'll see if the appointment is cancelled in the morning.  I call this a good day.  A day once again sharing with others as we are called to do.

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.             ...
