Tuesday

 

First...there is no photo shop.  I'm not saying the angle was not part of the picture.  But the under the arm thing was real. I think that picture is a hoot.

So now for today.  The first part of the morning was the same.  Quiet breakfast, a little snow going on, paper retrieved and a little knitting happening.  

Then it was off to church for a work morning with some Rita food in the car to be delivered on the way home.  Sometimes it takes a little doing to make a work-day work. Heidi helped get me going with all the Christmas/New Years and then Baptism of our Lord thinking. We made some changes to the altar celebrating the coming of the kings.  The donkey found the 11-month stable again.  Tables were set up in the sanctuary for wrapping the nativities Sunday.  I will be pleasantly surprised if all 220 sets are wrapped in one session after church. If it isn't completed, we'll just use another Sunday. Poinsettia were moved to the west entrance with the hope that the sanctuary might have a fresh look for the coming weeks.

A second work morning with the crew is set for Monday January 5th. We may need more mornings to get everything back to where they need to be.  When everything is packed and ready the youth once again will form a line passing containers up the stairs to the storage room.  It takes a village, you have heard.  Yes, it does. The village needs a payment of Chocolate Chip Cookies.

On the way home I stopped at R and B's with the H/GB/P dish sharing a yummy meal.  We had such a great visit, laughing and talking.  R and I have similar ailments and we just power through together supporting where we can.  Sisters with similar health issues.

Then on to another pill stop.  They keep coming and I keep taking.  Life does bring its interesting spins.

Supper is the H/GB/P dish.  Yum, yum and adding a Stanley full of hot candy cane tea created by the Mr. of the house.  It's the second Stanley filling of the day, the first being coffee.  

So, I would say it's another Tuesday with something to show for it.  The rest of the week looks pretty simple with one exception being Friday when I make my monthly IU visit with the shot givers who keep me going.  I am so fortunate.  I give thanks for them often.

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.             ...
